The effects of "diuresis and diffusing dampness" using salt-made Alisma orientale from seven different origins were investigated through pharmacodynamic experiments in vivo and in vitro. The results indicated that salt-made Alisma orientale from different origins had diuretic efficacy; this was demonstrated by the significant increase in the volume of rat urine, the concentration of Na+, K+, and Cl- in the urine, and the significant decrease in the levels of AQP-2 in rat renal medulla and HK-2 cells. It was also revealed that the diuretic effect of salt-made Alisma orientale from Fujian Province is stronger than those from other provinces. Moreover, the main components and their proportions in the salt-made Alisma orientale samples were further analyzed via principal component analysis. The results showed that alisol A 24-acetate, alisol B, and 23-acetyl alisol B are the main components of salt-made Alisma orientale, and the optimal structural ratio of alisol A 24-acetate, alisol B, and 23-acetyl alisol B was found to be 5.38 : 14.34 : 11.31 via optimizing the ratios of the three main components. It is worth noting that the optimal ratio of the three main components after optimization is the closest to the ratio of the three main components in salt-made Alisma orientale from Fujian Province. This paper reveals the "mystery" of the content ratio of the main active components and its effect on the efficacy, and showed that the proportional relationship between the content of multiple components is the key to their interactions. Therefore, this method of evaluating the quality of salt-made Alisma orientale is obviously reliable, and this study lays the foundations for quality evaluation of salt-made Alisma orientale and other herb slices. 收起
