ABSTRACT
This study focuses on the chemical composition, and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of
Shuang-Huang-Lian (SHL) oral liquid. We identified 18 compounds using high-performance liquid
chromatography analysis. The most prominent of these compounds were isochlorogenic acid B, caffeic
acid, wogonoside, rutin, forsythoside B, and phillyrin. The antioxidant activity of the SHL oral liquid
was examined using the DPPH clearance assay, ABTS+• assay, and a ferric reducing ability of plasma
assay. Among them, the best antioxidant activity was DPPH of 0.2309, ABTS+• of 0.2540 and plasma
ferric reduction capacity of 0.1229. Six pathogenic fungi were used for the antimicrobial activity of the
SHL oral liquid. SHL oral liquid has the best antibacterial effect against Streptococcus haemolyticus-β,
Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella serogroups.
