title: [Analytic and biological standardization of Prunus avium extracts].
abstract: Novicardine, the acetonic extract of P. avium peduncle which has advantageous cardiotonic effect, was standardized chemically and biologically. Flavonones, flavones, isoflavones and their glycosides were (methanolbuffer solution eluent, gradient elution) detected by reverse phase HPLC technique. It has been found that substances produced from different varieties of cherry peduncle originated from various lands, have the same components and their ratios are similar, but a contradictory statement could be made in the case of sour cherry. The allowed area ratios belonging to some ingredients were stated with reference to dihydrowogonine-7-O-glucoside. The biological experiments were performed on isolated heart preparations. In the organ bath with Locke's solution content the suspended left atrium and the papillary muscle were driven by rectangular electric impulses of 1 msec duration and of 1.7 Hz frequency, whereas the right atria were beating spontaneously. The result of experiments demonstrated that the standard Novicardine improves the contraction force of heart muscle by some 20-25%, and at the same time doesn't exert influence on the basic electrophysiological parameters and doesn't cause significant changes in heart rate. On the basis of investigation of substances having modified componentratio it was stated that extracts could be isolated which have cardiotonic effect four times stronger than that of Novicardine, on the other hand there were some extracts having negative inotropic effect. These effects were brought into connection with families of compounds (mainly glycosides and aglycones). It seems that the big variety of Novicardine can be assigned to the individual sensitivity of heart preparations, and the ratios of the above mentioned compounds.
