[0140] This embodiment provides a characteristic spectrum detection method for a freeze-dried powder of a standard decoction of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) (Batch No.: 2102001Y):

[0146] Chromatographic conditions: A CORTECS UPLC T3 column (100 mm length, 2.1 mm inner diameter, 1.6 μm particle size) was used; mobile phase A was acetonitrile, and mobile phase B was 0.1% (v / v) phosphoric acid in water, with gradient elution as specified in Table 1; the flow rate was 0.35 mL / min; the column temperature was 30°C; and the detection wavelength was 260 nm. The number of theoretical plates, calculated based on the vanillic acid peak, should be no less than 5000.
[0147] Table 1 Gradient elution table
[0148]
[0149] Assay: Accurately pipette 1 μl of each of the reference medicinal material solution, reference substance solution, and test solution into a high-performance liquid chromatograph for determination. The basic information of each chromatographic peak in the resulting chromatogram is shown in Table 2.
[0150] Table 2 Test results of reference substances and test substances
[0151]
[0152] As shown in Table 2, the test sample chromatogram should exhibit 11 characteristic peaks, and their retention times should correspond to those of the 11 characteristic peaks in the control herb chromatogram. Four of these peaks should correspond to the retention times of the corresponding reference peaks. Of these 11 characteristic peaks, Peak 1 is protocatechuic acid, Peak 4 is vanillic acid, Peak 5 is catechin, Peak 7 is procyanidin B2, Peak 8 is epicatechin, Peak 10 is isoquercetin, and Peak 11 is quercetin. The characteristic peak corresponding to the epicatechin peak is designated as the S peak. The relative retention times of each characteristic peak and the S peak are calculated. These relative retention times should be within ±10% of the specified values, which are: 0.21 (Peak 1), 0.39 (Peak 2), 0.42 (Peak 3), 0.65 (Peak 5), 0.90 (Peak 6), 0.94 (Peak 7), and 1.25 (Peak 9).
[0153] (3) Origin identification:
[0154] Identification of freeze-dried powder of standard decoction of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum): Calculate the relative peak area of Peak 4 and Peak 11. The relative peak area should be within the specified range, which is: should not be less than 4.4 (Peak 4).
[0155] Identification of freeze-dried powder of standard decoction of Amomum villosum (green shell sand) slices: calculate the relative peak area of peak 4 and peak 10, and the relative peak area should be within the specified range, which is: 28.6-34.1 (peak 4).
[0156] Identification of freeze-dried powder of standard decoction of Amomum villosum (Hainan Amomum) slices: calculate the relative peak area of Peak 4 and Peak 10. The relative peak area should be within the specified range, which is: not less than 34.1 (Peak 4).
[0157] Example 2
[0158] This example is used to illustrate the establishment of a comparative characteristic spectrum of Amomum villosum products:
[0159] The fingerprint similarity evaluation software "Chinese Herbal Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System 2012 Edition" compiled by the Pharmacopoeia Committee was used. The liquid phase characteristic spectra of multiple batches of representative standard decoctions (lyophilized powders) of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) were used to generate a reference liquid phase characteristic spectrum. By consulting the literature, the chemical properties of each characteristic peak of the standard decoction (lyophilized powder) of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) were analyzed, and protocatechuic acid, vanillic acid, catechin, epicatechin, procyanidin B2, isoquercetin, and quercetin reference substances were selected to locate and identify them.
[0160] (1) Selection of characteristic peaks of characteristic spectra
[0161] Basis for developing characteristic spectrum category components: According to literature reports, the main chemical components of Amomum villosum include volatile oils such as bornyl acetate, camphor, camphor, borneol, limonene, and α-pinene; phenolic acids such as vanillic acid, protocatechuic acid, stearic acid, and palmitic acid; polyphenolic hydroxyl flavonoids such as epicatechin and catechin; flavonoids such as quercetin, isoquercetin, and quercitrin; and polysaccharides. Since the standard decoction of Amomum villosum slices is extracted after boiling in water, the water solubility of the chemical components should be considered. Substances with lower content may not be present after water dissolution. Among the above categories, phenolic acids, flavanols, and flavonoids are more water-soluble and easily present in the standard decoction of Amomum villosum slices. Therefore, they are used as the main chemical components of the characteristic spectrum of the standard decoction of Amomum villosum slices.
[0162] The fingerprint test results of 17 batches of standard decoctions (lyophilized powder) of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) slices were analyzed. The fingerprint similarity evaluation software "Chinese Herbal Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System 2012 Edition" compiled by the Pharmacopoeia Committee was used to generate a reference characteristic spectrum. The characteristic peaks were identified and pointed out by HPLC and LC / MS / MS, and 12 chromatographic peaks with good separation were confirmed, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, peak 2 has a smaller peak shape in the characteristic spectrum of some batches. Considering the applicability of the characteristic spectrum method to different batches of chromatographic columns and different laboratories, it is not used as the characteristic peak. Peaks 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are selected as characteristic peaks, and the chromatographic peak numbers 1 to 11 are rearranged according to the order of the chromatographic peaks, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 shown.
[0163] According to the results of peak identification and reference substance positioning, peak 1 was determined to be protocatechuic acid, peak 4 to be vanillic acid, peak 5 to be catechin, peak 7 to be procyanidin B2, peak 8 to be epicatechin, peak 10 to be isoquercetin, and peak 11 to be quercetin. The above identified components all belong to organic acids, flavanols, and flavonoids. The characteristic spectrum contains the main chemical components of Amomum villosum, which is consistent with the information reported in the literature.
[0164] (2) Reference Peak S Peak Selection Criteria
[0165] According to the peak identification and peak selection results of the characteristic peaks in the liquid phase characteristic spectrum of the standard decoction (lyophilized powder) of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) medicinal slices, the chromatographic peaks that are easily obtained by the reference substance are protocatechuic acid, vanillic acid, catechin, epicatechin, isoquercetin, and quercetin. Among them, in the characteristic spectrum of the standard decoction (lyophilized powder) of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) medicinal slices, the peak time of epicatechin is in the middle of the entire spectrum, and it is also the indicator component for content determination. The relative retention time of the characteristic peak is calculated by taking epicatechin as the S peak of the liquid phase characteristic spectrum; isoquercetin and quercetin have good thermal stability and moderate response, and the relative peak area of the characteristic peak is calculated. The final control characteristic spectrum is as follows: Figure 3shown.
[0166] (3) Determination of characteristic peaks of characteristic spectra
[0167] The characteristic peaks were identified and assigned by HPLC and LC / MS / MS, and 7 characteristic peaks were located and assigned by reference substances, and it was determined that peak 1 was protocatechuic acid, peak 4 was vanillic acid, peak 5 was catechin, peak 7 was procyanidin B2, peak 8 was epicatechin, peak 10 was isoquercetin, and peak 11 was quercetin.
[0168] The above peaks were analyzed by LC / MS / MS, and it was confirmed that their molecular structures were consistent with those of protocatechuic acid, vanillic acid, catechin, procyanidin B2, epicatechin, isoquercetin, and quercetin reference substances, respectively. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0169] Table 3 Figure 2 LC / MS / MS analysis results of the liquid phase characteristic spectrum shown
[0170]
[0171] Example 3 Chromatographic Conditions
[0172] (1) Selection of mobile phase
[0173] Methanol and acetonitrile were used as mobile phase A, and 0.1% phosphoric acid solution was used as mobile phase B. The elution effects of the two mobile phases on the same freeze-dried powder of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) decoction standard decoction (batch number: 2102001Y) were investigated, and the injection volume was 1 μL.
[0174] Test results such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 4 This is the chromatogram obtained when methanol-0.1% phosphoric acid was used as the mobile phase. Figure 5 The chromatogram obtained when acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid was used as the mobile phase. Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that compared with the case of using methanol-0.1% phosphoric acid as the mobile phase, the time for peak elution to be complete is earlier, the detection time is shorter, and more components are eluted when using acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid as the mobile phase.
[0175] (2) Optimization of gradient elution program
[0176] Using a gradient elution method, the same sample solution (Batch No. 2102001Y) was analyzed using multiple different elution gradients. By comparing the chromatograms and data obtained from different elution procedures, the gradient that provided richer chromatographic information, better peak separation, more stable baselines, and more reasonable analysis time was selected. Acetonitrile was used as mobile phase A, and 0.1% phosphoric acid solution was used as mobile phase B. Elution was performed according to the elution gradients shown in Tables 4-7, respectively. The detection wavelength was 260 nm, the column temperature was 30°C, and the flow rate was 0.35 mL / min. The chromatographic data corresponding to the four elution gradients are shown in Tables 8-11.
[0177] Table 4 Condition 1 Elution Gradient
[0178]
[0179] Table 5 Condition 2 Elution Gradient
[0180]
[0181] Table 6 Condition 3 elution gradient
[0182]
[0183] Table 7 Condition 4 Elution Gradient
[0184]
[0185] Table 8 Chromatographic data corresponding to elution gradient of condition 1
[0186]
[0187]
[0188] Table 9 Chromatographic data corresponding to elution gradient of condition 2
[0189]
[0190] Table 10 Chromatographic data corresponding to elution gradient of condition 3
[0191]
[0192] Table 11 Chromatographic data corresponding to elution gradient of condition 4
[0193]
[0194] It can be seen from Tables 8-11 that under condition 4 elution gradient, the peaks are better separated and symmetrical.
[0195] (3) Selection of detection wavelength
[0196] Take the same sample solution (batch number: 2102001Y), use 3D full wavelength scanning, select the chromatograms of the two wavelengths with more peak information (260nm, 280nm) for comparison, and determine the detection wavelength by comparing the number of chromatographic peaks and peak heights. Among them, the chromatogram detected at a wavelength of 260nm is as follows Figure 6 As shown, the chromatogram detected at a wavelength of 280 nm is as follows Figure 7 shown.
[0197] Depend on Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be seen that at a wavelength of 260-280 nm, as the wavelength increases, the total peak area of the liquid phase characteristic spectrum continues to increase, and at a wavelength of 280 nm, the peak information volume of the liquid phase characteristic spectrum is relatively large, and the response value of each peak is relatively high, but the baseline is not stable enough. The chromatographic peak has a stable baseline at a wavelength of 260 nm, and the peak symmetry is relatively good.
[0198] (4) Selection of mobile phase acid
[0199] The same sample solution (batch number: 2102001Y) was used to examine the elution effects of acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid, 0.1% acetic acid, and 0.1% phosphoric acid as the mobile phase. The information content of the chromatographic peak and the system suitability parameters were used as evaluation indicators to determine the appropriate mobile phase acid type. The results are shown in Tables 12-14.
[0200] Table 12 System suitability parameters obtained from the 0.1% formic acid-acetonitrile system test
[0201]
[0202] Table 13 System suitability parameters obtained from the 0.1% acetic acid-acetonitrile system test
[0203]
[0204] Table 14 System suitability parameters obtained from the 0.1% phosphoric acid-acetonitrile system test
[0205]
[0206]
[0207] It can be seen from Tables 12-14 that when 0.1% phosphoric acid is used as mobile phase B, the symmetry of the chromatographic peaks is better than that of acetic acid and formic acid at the same concentration.
[0208] (5) Investigation of phosphoric acid concentration in mobile phase B
[0209] The same sample solution (batch number: 2102001Y) was used to examine the elution effects of acetonitrile with 0.2% phosphoric acid and 0.1% phosphoric acid as the mobile phase. The information content of the chromatographic peak and the system suitability parameters were used as evaluation indicators to determine the appropriate mobile phase acid concentration. The specific results are shown in Tables 15 and 16.
[0210] Table 15 System suitability parameters obtained from the 0.2% phosphoric acid-acetonitrile system test
[0211]
[0212] Table 16 System suitability parameters obtained from the 0.1% phosphoric acid-acetonitrile system test
[0213]
[0214] As can be seen from Tables 15 and 16, there is no significant difference in the system suitability parameters of the chromatographic peaks using different concentrations of phosphoric acid-acetonitrile systems.
[0215] (6) Selection of column temperature
[0216] The same sample solution (batch number: 2102001Y) was taken, and the information content of the detected chromatographic peaks and the system suitability parameters were used as evaluation indicators to examine the chromatographic peak separation effect at different column temperatures (25°C, 30°C, 35°C) and determine the appropriate chromatographic column temperature. The specific results are shown in Tables 17-19.
[0217] Table 17 System suitability parameters obtained at a column temperature of 25°C
[0218]
[0219]
[0220] Table 18 System suitability parameters obtained at a column temperature of 30°C
[0221]
[0222] Table 19 System suitability parameters obtained at a column temperature of 35°C
[0223]
[0224] As shown in Tables 17-19, within the range of 25-30°C, column temperature changes have minimal impact on the chromatographic system adaptability parameters. In particular, at a column temperature of 30°C, characteristic peaks exhibited improved symmetry, with each peak experiencing minimal interference from surrounding smaller peaks.
[0225] (7) Selection of flow rate
[0226] The same test solution (batch number: 2102001Y) was taken, and the information content of the detected chromatographic peaks and the system suitability parameters were used as evaluation indicators to examine the chromatographic peak separation effect at different flow rates (0.3, 0.35, and 0.4 mL / min) and determine the appropriate flow rate. The specific results are shown in Tables 20-22.
[0227] Table 20 System suitability parameters obtained at a flow rate of 0.30 mL / min
[0228]
[0229]
[0230] Table 21 System suitability parameters obtained at a flow rate of 0.35 mL / min
[0231]
[0232] Table 22 System suitability parameters obtained at a flow rate of 0.40 mL / min
[0233]
[0234] As can be seen from Tables 20-22, different flow rates not only affect the retention time and peak area of each peak, but also the separation of each characteristic peak from surrounding minor peaks. In particular, within the flow rate range of 0.30-0.40 mL / min, the separation of peaks 1 and 7 from surrounding minor peaks is better at a flow rate of 0.35 mL / min.
[0235] Example 4
[0236] This example is used to perform methodological verification on the detection method in Example 1:
[0237] (1) Specificity verification
[0238] Use 70% methanol as negative control solution. Accurately pipette 1 μl of the test solution (batch number: 2102001Y) and negative control solution of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) slice standard decoction (lyophilized powder) and inject them into the high performance liquid chromatography instrument. Figure 8 and 9 As shown, Figure 8 is the negative control chromatogram, Figure 9 is the chromatogram of the test product. Figure 8 and Figure 9 It can be seen that the negative has no interference.
[0239] (2) Integrity Verification
[0240] Take the test sample solution (batch number: 2102001Y) and measure it according to the chromatographic conditions of the liquid phase characteristic spectrum of the standard decoction of Amomum villosum (Amomum yangchunsha) medicinal slices (lyophilized powder). The measurement is still carried out after the peak appears, and the measurement time is twice the time of the liquid phase characteristic spectrum of the standard decoction of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) medicinal slices (lyophilized powder).
[0241] The results are as follows Figure 10 As shown, it can be seen that after 80 minutes, there is basically no chromatographic peak in the liquid phase characteristic spectrum of the standard decoction (lyophilized powder) of Amomum villosum (Amomum yangchunsha) medicinal slices, indicating that the method can already determine the main chromatographic peaks of the liquid phase characteristic spectrum of the standard decoction (lyophilized powder) of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) medicinal slices, indicating that the method has good integrity.
[0242] (3) Precision verification
[0243] The same sample solution (batch number: 2102001Y) was injected 6 times (S1-S6) to measure the relative retention time and relative peak area of 11 characteristic peaks. The RSDs were all within the qualified range, indicating that the method and instrument precision were good. Figure 11 , Table 23 and Table 24.

[0247]
[0248] (4) Repeatability verification
[0249] Take the same portion of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) decoction standard decoction (lyophilized powder) (batch number: 2102001Y) to prepare 6 test solutions, and measure the relative retention time and relative peak area of 11 characteristic peaks. The RSDs are all within the qualified range, indicating that the method has good repeatability. Figure 12 , Table 25 and Table 26.

[0255] (5) Intermediate precision verification
[0256] The same standard decoction of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) slices (lyophilized powder) (batch number: 2102001Y) was taken and prepared by three experimenters. Each experimenter prepared two samples and measured the relative retention time and relative peak area of 11 characteristic peaks. The RSDs were all within the qualified range, indicating that the intermediate precision of the method was good. Figure 13 , Table 27 and Table 28.

[0261]
[0262] (6) Stability verification
[0263] The same sample solution (batch number: 2102001Y) was injected at 0, 4, 8, 12, 18, and 24 hours after preparation. The relative retention time and relative peak area of 11 characteristic peaks were measured. The RSDs were all within the qualified range, indicating that the method was stable within 24 hours and met the determination requirements. Figure 14 , Table 29 and Table 30.

[0267]
[0268] (7) Durability verification
[0269] ①Verification at different flow rates
[0270] The same sample solution (batch number: 2102001Y) was taken and the flow rates were set to 0.33 mL / min, 0.35 mL / min, and 0.37 mL / min respectively. The changes in the relative retention time and relative peak area of the characteristic peaks of this product when the flow rate changed slightly were investigated. The results are shown in Tables 31 and 32.
[0271] Table 31 Relative retention time results at different flow rates (mL / min)
[0272]
[0273] Table 32 Relative peak area results at different flow rates (mL / min)
[0274]
[0275] ②Verification at different column temperatures
[0276] Take the same test solution (batch number: 2102001Y) and set the column temperature to 28℃, 30℃, and 32℃ respectively. The changes in the relative retention time and relative peak area of the characteristic peaks when the column temperature changes are investigated. The results are shown in Tables 33 and 34.
[0277] Table 33 Relative retention time results at different column temperatures
[0278]
[0279] Table 34 Relative peak area results at different column temperatures
[0280]
[0281]
[0282] ③Verification at different phosphoric acid concentrations
[0283] The same sample solution (lot number: 2102001Y) was used to compare the separation performance of 0.08% phosphoric acid-acetonitrile, 0.1% phosphoric acid-acetonitrile, and 0.12% phosphoric acid-acetonitrile to determine the most suitable mobile phase system. Specific results are shown in Tables 35-37.
[0284] Table 35 Liquid phase characteristic spectrum system adaptability parameters obtained using 0.08% phosphoric acid detection
[0285]
[0286] Table 36 Liquid phase characteristic spectrum system adaptability parameters obtained using 0.1% phosphoric acid detection
[0287]
[0288] Table 37 Liquid phase characteristic spectrum system adaptability parameters obtained using 0.12% phosphoric acid detection
[0289]
[0290] ④ Validation of different types of chromatographic columns
[0291] Take the same sample solution (batch number: 2102001Y) and examine the separation effect of different types of chromatographic columns in the laboratory on the chromatographic peaks to determine whether a fixed chromatographic column is needed:
[0292] Column a: Waters CORTECS T3, 2.1*100 mm, 1.6 μm;
[0293] Column b: Thermo Hypersil GOLD, 2.1*100 mm, 1.9 μm;
[0294] Chromatographic column c: Agilent SB-C18, 2.1*100 mm, 1.8 μm.
[0295] The test results are shown in Tables 38-40.
[0296] Table 38 System suitability parameters of the liquid phase characteristic spectrum obtained by detection using chromatographic column a
[0297]
[0298] Table 39 System suitability parameters of the liquid phase characteristic spectrum obtained by detection using chromatographic column b
[0299]
[0300] Table 40 System suitability parameters of the liquid phase characteristic spectrum obtained by detection using chromatographic column c
[0301]
[0302] The results show that when using the Waters CORTECS T3 column, the peaks are less interfered with by the surrounding small chromatographic peaks and the symmetry of the characteristic peaks is better. When using other types of chromatographic columns, there are missing characteristic peaks or the characteristic peaks are more interfered with by the surrounding small chromatographic peaks.

[0328] Table 49 Results of relative peak area determination of liquid phase characteristic spectrum of 1 batch of Amomum villosum (green shell sand) decoction standard decoction (lyophilized powder)
[0329]
[0330] The results of Examples 5-7 show that the liquid phase characteristic chromatograms of multiple batches of standard decoctions (lyophilized powders) of Amomum villosum slices exhibit 11 characteristic peaks, which correspond to the retention times of the 11 characteristic peaks in the chromatograms of the reference medicinal material. Four of these peaks correspond to the retention times of the corresponding reference peaks. The peak corresponding to the epicatechin reference peak is the S peak. The relative retention times of each characteristic peak and the S peak were calculated, and the relative retention times were within ±10% of the specified values, which are: 0.21 (peak 1), 0.39 (peak 2), 0.42 (peak 3), 0.65 (peak 5), 0.90 (peak 6), 0.94 (peak 7), and 1.25 (peak 9).
[0331] There are obvious differences in the relative peak areas of peak 4 (vanillic acid) compared with peak 10 (isoquercetin) and peak 11 (quercetin) in the liquid phase characteristic spectra of the standard decoctions (lyophilized powder) of Amomum villosum (Yangchunsha), Amomum villosum (Hainansha) and Amomum villosum (Green Shell Sand) medicinal pieces.

[0333] According to the method of Example 1, the liquid phase characteristic spectrum of a batch of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) formula granules (batch number: 2112001Y) was measured, and the measurement results are shown in Table 50.
[0334] Table 50 Chromatographic peak system adaptability parameters of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) formula granules
[0335]
[0336]
[0337] It can be seen from Table 50 that when the chromatographic conditions of the liquid phase characteristic spectrum of the standard decoction (lyophilized powder) of Amomum villosum (Yangchunsha) medicinal slices are used for Amomum villosum (Yangchunsha) formula granules, the liquid phase characteristic spectrum method system of Amomum villosum (Yangchunsha) formula granules has good adaptability and specificity. Therefore, the chromatographic conditions of the liquid phase characteristic spectrum of the standard decoction (lyophilized powder) of Amomum villosum (Yangchunsha) medicinal slices can be used as the chromatographic conditions of the liquid phase characteristic spectrum of Amomum villosum (Yangchunsha) formula granules.
[0338] The chromatogram of the Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) formula granules should show 11 characteristic peaks, and their retention times should correspond to those of the 11 characteristic peaks in the chromatogram of the reference medicinal material. Four of these peaks should correspond to the retention times of the corresponding reference material peaks. The peak corresponding to the epicatechin reference peak is the S peak. Calculate the relative retention time of each characteristic peak to the S peak. The relative retention time should be within ±10% of the specified value: 0.21 (peak 1), 0.39 (peak 2), 0.42 (peak 3), 0.65 (peak 5), 0.90 (peak 6), 0.94 (peak 7), and 1.25 (peak 9). Calculate the relative peak area of Peak 4 to Peak 11. The relative peak area should be within the specified range: no less than 4.4 (peak 4).

[0340] Determination of liquid phase characteristic spectra of multiple batches of Amomum villosum (Amomum villosum) formula granules:
[0341] The liquid phase characteristic spectrum of three batches of Amomum villosum (Yangchunsha) formula granules (batch number: 2112001Y, 2112002Y, 2112003Y) was determined. The results showed that the chromatograms of the three batches of Amomum villosum (Yangchunsha) formula granules showed 11 characteristic peaks, and the retention times should correspond to the 11 characteristic peaks in the chromatogram of the reference medicinal material reference. Among them, 4 peaks should correspond to the retention times of the corresponding reference peaks, and the relative retention time and relative peak area are within the required range. The liquid phase characteristic spectrum is qualified. Among them, the liquid phase characteristic spectrum is shown in Figure 15 , relative retention times are shown in Table 51, and relative peak areas are shown in Table 52. Figure 15 Among them, the batch number corresponding to S1 is: 2112001Y, the batch number corresponding to S2 is: 2112002Y, and the batch number corresponding to S3 is: 2112003Y.
