This product is derived from Moutan Cortex, listed in Part I of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2020 edition), which is the root bark of the Ranunculaceae plant, Paeonia suffruticosa. Paeonia suffruticosa Andr., its roots are dug up in autumn, the fine roots and soil are removed, the rough bark is scraped off, and the woody core is extracted, dried, and becomes the woody core in the root of Peony (WCRP). The Chinese Pharmacopoeia records that peony bark has the effects of clearing heat and cooling blood, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis; current research shows that peony bark contains terpenes and their glycosides, phenols and their glycosides, organic acids and their esters, flavonoids, tannins, and other components, which have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and lipid metabolism regulating effects.

[0029] Table 2. Source information of peony root heartwood samples

[0030] Example 1: A method for establishing an HPLC fingerprint of peony root heartwood includes the following steps: (1) Preparation of the test solution After crushing WCRP, pass it through a No. 4 sieve. Accurately weigh 1 g of WCRP powder and place it in a stoppered conical flask. Accurately add 100 mL of 70% methanol and weigh it. Sonicate for 45 minutes, cool, and weigh it again. Make up the lost weight with 70% methanol, shake well, filter, and collect the filtrate to obtain the test solution.

[0032] (3) HPLC detection Chromatographic conditions: The chromatographic column used was a ShimPack Scepter C1000. 18 Column (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm, Shimadzu (Shanghai) Laboratory Equipment Co., Ltd.); Gradient elution was performed using acetonitrile as mobile phase A and formic acid aqueous solution with a volume fraction of 0.1% as mobile phase B. The elution conditions were as follows: 0-10 min, mobile phase A volume fraction 7%-10%; 10-35 min, mobile phase A volume fraction 10%-17%; 35-80 min, mobile phase A volume fraction 17%-21%; 80-90 min, mobile phase A volume fraction 21%-40%; 90-100 min, mobile phase A volume fraction 40%-7%; 100-110 min, mobile phase A volume fraction 7%. The detection wavelength was 270 nm, the flow rate was 1.0 mL / min, the column temperature was 30℃, and the injection volume was 10 μL.

[0033] Optimization of HPLC chromatographic conditions: 1) Detection wavelength This invention uses HPLC detection of samples at wavelengths of 254, 270, and 330 nm. The results show that there are more chromatographic peaks, the baseline is the most stable, and the peak shape is better at a wavelength of 270 nm. Therefore, the detection wavelength of 270 nm was selected.

[0034] 2) Mobile phase This invention conducted sample injection analysis on mobile phase systems of methanol-water, methanol-0.2% (v / v) formic acid aqueous solution, methanol-0.4% (v / v) formic acid aqueous solution, acetonitrile-water, acetonitrile-0.1% (v / v) formic acid aqueous solution, and acetonitrile-0.2% (v / v) formic acid aqueous solution. The results showed that when acetonitrile-0.1% (v / v) formic acid aqueous solution was used as the mobile phase, the resulting chromatogram baseline was more stable. Therefore, the mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1% (v / v) formic acid aqueous solution was selected.

[0035] 3) Column temperature The present invention conducted HPLC analysis of the samples at column temperatures of 25, 30 and 35°C. The results showed that the peak shape was optimal and the separation was good at a column temperature of 30°C, so the column temperature of 30°C was selected.

[0036] (4) Precision test Take the test solution obtained in step (1) and inject it 6 times consecutively for HPLC detection. Using paeonol as the reference peak, analyze and investigate the retention time and relative peak area of ​​the common peak.

The results showed that the RSD of the relative retention time of each common peak was less than 2%, and the RSD of the relative peak area was less than 5%, indicating that the detection method of the present invention has high precision.

[0038] (5) Stability test Take the test solution obtained in step (1) and inject it at different time points (0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h) for HPLC detection. Use paeonol as the reference peak to investigate the relative retention time and relative peak area of ​​the common peak.

[0039] The RSDs of the relative retention time and relative peak area of ​​each common peak were calculated. The results showed that the RSD of the relative retention time of each common peak was <2%, and the RSD of the relative peak area was less than 5%, indicating that the detection method of the present invention has excellent stability.

[0040] (6) Repeatability test Take 6 samples of medicinal materials and prepare 6 groups of test solutions according to the method in step (1). Perform HPLC detection and analyze the relative retention time and relative peak area of ​​the common peaks respectively.

[0041] The relative retention time and relative peak area of ​​each common peak were calculated. The results showed that the relative retention time RSD of each common peak was less than 2%, and the relative peak area RSD was less than 5%, indicating that the method of the present invention has good repeatability.

[0042] (7) Establishment of feature maps and similarity analysis Thirteen different WCRP samples (labeled S1-S13) were collected, and test solutions were prepared according to the method in step (1). HPLC detection was performed under the chromatographic conditions in step (3), and fingerprint spectra were recorded. Peak 31, using paeonol as a reference, was used to establish fingerprint spectra. The relative retention time and relative peak area RSD of the common chromatographic peaks were calculated. Similarity analysis was performed on the fingerprint spectra of the 13 batches of WCRP samples. The data from the chromatography workstation was imported into the traditional Chinese medicine fingerprint spectra similarity calculation software. Peak matching was performed on 33 selected common chromatographic peaks. The common pattern of the sample reference fingerprint spectra was calculated, and this common pattern was used as the standard (reference spectra are shown below). Figure 1 As shown, the HPLC overlay chromatograms of 13 batches of WCRP samples are as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, an overall similarity evaluation is performed.

[0043] The results showed that the fingerprint patterns of S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, S11, S12, and S13 were similar to the control pattern.
