Abstract

Hwanggeumjackyak-tang (HJT) composed of Scatellaria baicalensis Georgi, Paeonia Lactiflora and Glycyrrhizae uralensis Fischer is a traditional Korean herbal medicine widely used for acute enteritis. In order to develop the tablet formulation of HJT, evaluation of the flow properties, thickness, diameter, hardness, friability and disintegration was carried out on four HJT granules according to mixed content of seven additives. Simultaneous analysis used HPLC method was performed of HJT tablet and was determined of the seven marker components; Albiflorin, Paeoniflorin, Liquiritin, Baicalin, Baicalein, Glycyrrhizic acid and Wogonin. The biological activities were examined the effect of HJT on anti-oxidation and pro-inflammation mediated by LPS-stimulation. We confirmed that both of HJT-Decoction (HJT-D) and HJT-Formulation (HJT-F) have the similar contents on total polyphenol and flavonoid and inhibited the secretion of nitro oxide (NO), interleukin $(IL)-1{\beta}$,interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor $(TNF)-{\alpha}$ and the expression of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$. Therefore, the developed formulation for tablet of HJT would provide chemically and biologically the same effect compared with decoction of HJT.
