Extra-Weak Chemiluminescence of Drugs. III. Investigation of the Effect of Air and Temperature on Kampo Extracted Herbal Drugs Evaluated by Extra-Weak Chemiluminescence

Abstract
Extra-weak chemiluminescence of 120 kinds of Kampo Extracted Herbal Drugs were measured. These Kampo Extracted Herbal Drugs showed chemiluminescence values of 0 to 100 counts/10 s, 0 to 400 counts/10 s and 50 to 12000 counts/10 s, at 20, 50, and 80.degree. C, respectively. Among the Kampo Extracted Herbal Drugs tested in this Gui-Zhi-Jia-Long-Gu-Mu-Li-Tang, Gui-Pi-Tang, Dang-Gui-Shao-Yao-San, Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang and Jia-Wei-Gui-Pi-Tang showed high chemiluminescence values. In addition, it is suggested that the Kampo Extracted Herbal Drugs which generate high emission intensity are composed of crude drugs such as Zingiberis Rhizoma, Atractylodis Lanceae Rhizoma, Zizyphi Fructus, Angelicae Radix and Hoelen.
