Volume V of this manual provides an overview of the analytical investigation of numerous additional Chinese herbal drugs that are commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It illustrates the detailed chromatographic analysis of the main compounds with colored TLC photographs and HPLC peak profiles, and also discusses the bioactive properties, pharmacological and biological activity as well as the therapeutic applications of all single herbal drugs. Together with Volumes I-IV this volume represents the most comprehensive overview of analytical studies of these drugs listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2010. All the experimental requirements, including the extraction procedure for the Chinese drugs and the solvent systems used for the development of the TLC and HPLC analytical monographs, were adapted according to the latest findings published in international journals and the high standards of the European Drug Regulatory Authority. Therefore Volume V is also a must-have manual for researchers and pharmaceutical laboratories dedicated to TCM.

Dieses essential bietet einen Einblick in die gesundheitliche Situation – physisch wie psychisch – am Arbeitsplatz, deren Betrachtung inzwischen nach dem Arbeitsschutzgesetz auch für die kleinen Betriebe zur Verpflichtung geworden ist. Die Autoren zeigen die neue Sichtweise auf die Gesundheit, aus der sich gerade für kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen viele Möglichkeiten ergeben, gesundheitsfördernde Rahmenbedingungen in ihrem Betrieb zu schaffen. Der Zugang zu dieser betrieblichen Gesundheitsarbeit führt künftig über das Wissen darüber, welchen Einfluss der Lebens- und Arbeitsstil auf den physischen und psychischen Zustand haben können. Die Unterstützung durch die Sozialversicherungen ist ebenfalls an die Beachtung dieser Leitprinzipien gekoppelt.

This manual, to be published in two volumes, provides a condensed overview of the analytical investigation of 80 Chinese Herbal Drugs which are most frequently in use. Thin layer chromatographic-, high pressure liquid chromatographic- and gas chromatographic-fingerprint analytical techniques allow the detection of all main low-molecular constituents of a plant drug and even single constituents can be visualized. Analytical results thereof are shown in numerous color figures. The quality proof of the investigation meets the standard of the European Drug Regulatory Authority.

Furthermore, this volume gives a detailed description of the analytical methods used for several drugs. Bioactive constituents, pharmacological and biological activities of several single herbal drugs as well as their therapeutic applications are discussed.
