Abstract:
: To perform a preliminary study on the quality evaluation of compound Danshen preparations based on the xCELLigence Real-Time Cell-based Assay (RTCA) system and make a pharmacodynamics verification. : The compound Danshen was discussed as a methodological example, and the bioactivity of the compound Danshen preparations were evaluated by real-time cell electronic analysis technology. Meanwhile, an in vivo experiment on an acute blood stasis rat model was performed in order to verify this novel evaluation through the curative effect of dissipating blood stasis. : We determined the cell index (CI) and IC50 of the compound Danshen preparations and produced time/dose-dependent cell response profiles (TCRPs). The quality of the three kinds of compound Danshen preparations was evaluated through the RTCA data. The trend of CI and TCRPs reflected the effect of drugs on the cell (promoting or inhibiting), and it was verified that the results correlated with the biological activity of the drugs using a pharmacodynamics experiment. : The RTCA system can be used to evaluate the quality of compound Danshen Preparations, and it can provide a new idea and new method for quantitatively characterizing the biological activity of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs).

Lewis Acids and Bases
A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...
Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
