Myelophil, a mixture of Astragali Radix and Salviae Radix extract, moderates toxic side effects of fluorouracil in mice

Figure 1 Fingerprinting of Myelophil. A: Rosmarinic acid (RMA, 2 &mgr;g), Salviae Radix water extract (SRE, 200 &mgr;g) and Myelophil (MP, 400 &mgr;g) were separated using chloroform/ethyl acetate/benzene/formic acid/methanol (15:10:10:10:1), and then visualized by white light after derivatization with p-anisaldehyde sulfuric acid; B: Formononetin (FMN, 0.1 &mgr;g), Astragali Radix water extract (ARE, 0.8 mg) and Myelophil (MP, 1.6 mg) were separated using dichloromethane/methanol/water (45:10:1), and then visualized under UV at 366 nm.
