✦ Synopsis

Changes in alkylamide and cichoric acid concentrations during the handling and storage of freshly harvested and dried Echinacea purpurea plants were investigated. Plants subjected to varying degrees of physical damage to simulate rough handling were found to show no change in the concentrations of alkylamides and cichoric acid when subsequently dried within 24 h. Storage of undamaged fresh plant material at 20 °C and 60% RH for 30 days also showed no signi®cant loss of either group of constituents. Storage of dried crushed plant material showed that alkylamides were degraded at 20 and 30 °C, especially when held in light, but no loss occurred when stored at 5 °C in the dark. Cichoric acid was found to be stable at 5, 20 and 30 °C provided that the moisture content remained low or enzymic activity was eliminated by blanching. The ®ndings have implications for the handling and storage of echinacea to optimise retention of alkylamides and cichoric acid.

## Objective: Aspirin is known to have a bimodal effect on the renal handling of uric acid (ua). high dosages (>3 gm/day) are uricosuric, while low dosages (1-2 gm/day) cause ua retention. although very-low-dose (mini-dose) aspirin is used increasingly as a platelet aggregation inhibitor, no studie
