Abstract:ObjectiveTo study the antihyperlipidemia effects of diferent Buxus microphylla leaf extracts.MethodsDifferent extracts were extracted from Buxus microphylla leaf by systematic solvents (petroleum benzin,ethyl acetate,chloroform,n-butyl alcohol and water respectively) and the antihyperlipidemia effects of different extracts were observed on serum levels of total cholesterol and triglyceride in hyperlipidemia models,which were established through celiac injection of 75% egg-yolk emulsion. ResultsThe Buxus microphylla leaf ethyl acetate extract (high dose and low dose )had obvious effect on the levels of serum total cholesterol and triglyceride. Moreover,the effect of high-dose ethyl acetate extract was better than the other extracts. In addition, the water extract and n-butyl alcohol extract could significantly reduce serum total cholesterol, and the chloroform extract and n-butyl alcohol extract had no remarkable effect on blood lipid. ConclusionBuxus microphylla leaf ethyl -acetate extract is the active part of Buxus microphylla leaf in reducing blood lipid.
Key words:Buxus microphylla leaf Extracts Antihyperlipidemia effect
Buxus Microphylla leaf is the dry leaf from Buxus microphylla. (Family Genus). According to the “Compendium of Materia Medica”, Buxus microphylla can promote flow of “qi” and blood circulation ,eliminate pathogenic wetness ,dredge and activate the meridian.Cyclovirobuxine D is one kind of alkaloid extracted from the rhizome of Buxus Microphylla and other plants belonged to the same Genus[1]. In recent years, clinically and experimentally Cyclovirobuxine D plays a good role in anti-arrythmia, anti-myocardial Ischemia and strengthening heart, and it has protective function to the acute brain ischemia because it can pass through the blood brain barrier, suppress the formation of thrombus, improve microcycle[2-3], however, until now no pharmacological research reports on the Buxus Microphylla leaf has been seen in the literature.In this experiment we observed the effects of system solvent extract from buxus microphylla leaf on the serum total cholesterol and triglyceride in hyperlipidemia model mice.
1 Materials and Methods
1.1 Drugs, Reagents, Animals and Instruments
1.1.1 Preparation of drugsDry Buxus microphylla leaves,from Yongfu, Guangxi Guilin, were extracted with 70 percent ethanol. The process was as follows:Firstly, 500g Buxus microphylla leaves were taken into round flask,at the same time added 3 000 ml 70% ethyl alcohol, then heated backflow, totally three times, three hours each time. After extracting the filtration, merged the filtrate. Finnally the gross extracts were concentrated to non- alcohol flavor. The gross extracts were extracted with benzine, ethyl acetate, chloroform, normal butyl alcohol respectively according to resolver polarity order from small to big ,then every extracted liquid was evaporated on the water bath to get each various part of extractions (after multiple withdraws, obtains stable fingerprint atlas). When experiment being carried on, each extraction was dissolved with 2% Twain - 80 distilled water.
