Abstract

The GC-MS method was adopted to determine the contents of β-myrcene, limonene, menthone, menthofuran, pulegone, β-caryophyllene, 1-octen-3-one and 3-octanone in volatile in Schizonepetae Herba processed by traditional processing and integration processing methods. The efficacies of Schizonepetae Herba with different processing methods were detected based on the inhibition of ear swelling induced by dimethylbenzene in mice. The rationality of the integration processing was expounded based on the comparison of chemical constituents and their pharmacological effects. The results showed that the contents of the eight chemical components in the products processed with the integrated processing method were higher than those processed with the other method. And both of the processing methods could reduce the degree of swelling and the content of TNF-α/IL-1β/IL-6 in mice serum. However, the anti-inflammatory efficacy of the products processed with the integration processing method was superior to that processed with the other method. Compared with the traditional processing method, the integration processing method ensures the quality of decoction pieces, with lower time and labor costs and higher efficiency.
