The medicinal material mainly contains lycopodium alkaloids, terpenes, chromone and aliphatic components, and modern pharmacological studies show that Lycopodii Herba has cholinesterase inhibitory activity, anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory effects. At present, the basic research on Lycopodii Herba is relatively weak, there are a small amount of literatures related to chemical components, and no research on quality control is found, so that the quality of the medicinal material and its preparations is uneven, and the development and effective utilization of Lycopodii Herba are restricted. The present application provides a basis for the quality evaluation and resource development and utilization of Lycopodii Herba and its preparations.

[0003] At present, the existing quality research on Lycopodii Herba and its compound preparations is less, and no related report on high performance liquid analysis and determination is found, so that an effective means for quality control is lacked. SUMMARY

Gout-Relieving Herb is a commonly used medicinal material in folk medicine, which is recorded in many modern herbals. Gout-Relieving Herb is the dry aboveground part of Lycopodiastrum casuarinoides (Spring.) Holub. of Lycopodiaceae, which has the functions of dispelling wind and dampness, relieving the muscles and promoting blood circulation, and is used for treating wind-damp numbness, contusions and sprains, muscle and bone pain, abdominal distension during menstruation and other symptoms. The medicinal material mainly contains lycopodium alkaloids, terpenes, chromones and aliphatic compounds, etc. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that Gout-Relieving Herb has cholinesterase inhibitory activity, anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory effects, etc. At present, the basic research on Gout-Relieving Herb is relatively weak, there are only a few literatures related to chemical components, and there is no research on quality control, which makes it difficult to effectively control the quality of the medicinal material and leads to the long-term existence of the phenomenon that the quality of the medicinal material and its preparations is uneven, thereby restricting the development and effective utilization of Gout-Relieving Herb medicinal resources. The present application provides a basis for the quality evaluation and resource development and utilization of Gout-Relieving Herb medicinal material and its preparations.

[0067] 2.5 Investigation of chromatographic conditions

[0068] 2.5.1 Selection of mobile phase

[0069] Based on the proposed experiment, methanol-0.1% acetic acid solution and methanol-0.2% formic acid solution were selected as the mobile phases for determining the content of *Shujincao* (a traditional Chinese medicine) formula granules. The elution effect was investigated. Figure 1 And Table 1:

[0070] Table 1. Analysis results of different mobile phases

[0071]

[0072] The results showed that when the chromatographic conditions were methanol-0.1% acetic acid solution and methanol-0.2% formic acid solution as the mobile phase, the theoretical plate number and resolution of the 4-hydroxybenzoic acid peak were both high, and both could be used as the mobile phase for detection.

[0073] 2.5.2 Wavelength Selection

[0074] Based on the above-specified experimental conditions, a diode array detector was used to perform full-band scanning of the 4-hydroxybenzoic acid reference solution and the test solution, respectively. See... Figure 2 and Figure 3 .

[0075] 2.5.3 Flow velocity assessment

[0076] Under the proposed experimental conditions, the flow rates of 0.8 ml / min, 1.0 ml / min, and 1.2 ml / min were investigated. (See...) Figure 4 and Table 2;

[0077] Table 2 Analysis results of different flow rates

[0078]

[0079] The results show that when the flow rate is 0.8 ml / min, 1.0 ml / min, 1.2 ml / min, the chromatogram peak shape and separation effect meet the requirements, and the flow rate is determined as 1.0 ml / min.

[0080] 2.5.4 Column temperature investigation

[0081] On the basis of the above determined test conditions, the column temperature of 25°C, 30°C, 35°C was investigated, respectively, as shown in Table 2 and Table 3: Figure 5

[0082] Table 3 Analysis results of different column temperatures

[0083]

[0084] The results show that when the column temperature is 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, the chromatogram peak shape and separation effect meet the requirements, and the detection column temperature is determined as 30°C.

[0085] 2.5.5 Chromatographic conditions and system suitability test results

[0086] The chromatographic conditions and system suitability test use octadecylsilane bonded silica gel as the filler (column length is 250 mm, inner diameter is 4.6 mm, particle size is 5 μm); methanol is used as mobile phase A, and 0.2% formic acid solution is used as mobile phase B, which is gradient eluted according to the following table; the detection wavelength is 260 nm. The theoretical plate number calculated by 4-hydroxybenzoic acid peak should not be less than 5000.

[0087]

[0088] 2.6 Investigation of test solution preparation

[0089] 2.6.1 Investigation of extraction method

[0090] Take the product (batch number: SJC-CP-01) in an appropriate amount, grind finely, take about 0.3 g, accurately weigh, put into a conical flask with a plug, accurately add 70% methanol 20 ml, weigh, respectively, use heating reflux, ultrasonic (power 600 W, frequency 40 kHz) method to extract for 30 minutes, cool, make up the weight loss with 70% methanol, shake well, filter, take the filtrate, and get it. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0091] Table 4 Investigation results of extraction method

[0092]

[0093] From the above, there is no significant difference between reflux and ultrasonic extraction efficiency, so the ultrasonic method with simple operation is selected for extraction.

[0094] 2.6.2 Sample weight investigation

[0095] Take the product (batch number: SJC-CP-01) in an appropriate amount, grind finely, and take about 0.2 g, 0.3 g, and 0.5 g, accurately weigh, place in a conical flask with a stopper, respectively, accurately add 20 ml of 70% methanol, weigh, ultrasonic extraction (power 600 W, frequency 40 kHz) for 30 minutes, cool, weigh again, make up the weight loss with 70% methanol, shake well, filter, and take the filtrate, which is obtained. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0096] Table 5 Content results of sample weight investigation

[0097]

[0098] The results show that when the sample weight is 0.2 g, the chromatogram peak shape is good, the peak area is moderate, and the extraction efficiency is high. Therefore, the sample weight is determined to be 0.2 g.

[0099] 2.6.3 Extraction time investigation

[0100] Take the product (batch number: SJC-CP-01) in an appropriate amount, grind finely, and take about 0.2 g, accurately weigh, place in a conical flask with a stopper, accurately add 20 ml of 70% methanol, weigh, ultrasonic extraction (power 600 W, frequency 40 kHz) for 20 minutes, 30 minutes, and 40 minutes, respectively, cool, make up the weight loss with 70% methanol, shake well, filter, and take the filtrate, which is obtained. The results are shown in Table 6.

[0101] Table 6 Results of extraction time investigation

[0102]

[0103]

[0104] From the above, 30 minutes of extraction can be sufficient for extraction, so the extraction time of the test sample is determined to be 30 minutes.

[0105] 2.6.4 Extraction solvent investigation

[0106] Take the product (batch number: SJC-CP-01) in an appropriate amount, grind finely, and take about 0.2 g, accurately weigh, place in a conical flask with a stopper, respectively, accurately add water, ethanol, methanol, 30% ethanol, 30% methanol, 70% ethanol, and 70% methanol each 20 ml, weigh, ultrasonic treatment (power 600 W, frequency 40 kHz) for 30 minutes, cool, weigh again, make up the weight loss with the corresponding solvent, shake well, filter, and take the filtrate, which is obtained. The results are shown in Table 7.Figure 6 and Table 7:

[0107] Table 7 Extraction solvent investigation results

[0108]

[0109] From the above, the extraction efficiency of 70% methanol and 70% ethanol solution is the highest. Since the chromatogram baseline is flat, the peak shape of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid is good, and the integration is easier to separate from the baseline when 70% ethanol is used as the extraction solvent, therefore, the solution of 70% ethanol is selected as the extraction solvent for the content determination of Shujincao Formula Granules.

[0110] In summary, the preparation method of the test sample for the content determination of Shujincao Formula Granules is as follows: take an appropriate amount of the product, grind it finely, take about 0.2 g, accurately weigh it, place it in a conical flask with a plug, accurately add 20 ml of 70% ethanol, weigh it, ultrasonic treatment (power 600 W, frequency 40 kHz) for 30 minutes, cool it, weigh it again, make up the weight loss with 70% ethanol, shake it evenly, filter it, take the filtrate, and it is obtained.

[0111] 2.6.5 Method for the content determination of Shujincao Formula Granules

[0112] The chromatographic conditions and system suitability test use octadecylsilane-bonded silica gel as the filler (column length 250 mm, inner diameter 4.6 mm, particle size 5 μm); use methanol as the mobile phase A, and 0.2% formic acid solution as the mobile phase B, perform gradient elution according to the following table; the detection wavelength is 260 nm. The theoretical plate number calculated according to the peak of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid should not be less than 5000.

[0113]

[0114] Prepare the reference solution by accurately weighing an appropriate amount of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid reference substance, adding 70% ethanol to prepare a solution containing 10 μg of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid per 1 ml, and it is obtained.

[0115] Prepare the test solution by accurately weighing an appropriate amount of the product, grinding it finely, taking about 0.2 g, accurately weighing it, placing it in a conical flask with a plug, accurately adding 20 ml of 70% ethanol, weighing it, ultrasonic treatment (power 600 W, frequency 40 kHz) for 30 minutes, cooling it, weighing it again, making up the weight loss with 70% ethanol, shaking it evenly, filtering it, taking the filtrate, and it is obtained.

[0116] Prepare the test solution by accurately weighing an appropriate amount of the product, grinding it finely, taking about 0.2 g, accurately weighing it, placing it in a conical flask with a plug, accurately adding 20 ml of 70% ethanol, weighing it, ultrasonic treatment (power 600 W, frequency 40 kHz) for 30 minutes, cooling it, weighing it again, making up the weight loss with 70% ethanol, shaking it evenly, filtering it, taking the filtrate, and it is obtained.

[0117] 2.7 Methodology investigation

[0118] 2.7.1 Investigation of specificity

[0119] Preparation of reference solution: Weigh an appropriate amount of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid reference substance accurately, dissolve it in 70% ethanol to prepare a solution containing 10 μg of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid per 1 ml as the reference solution.

[0120] Preparation of test solution: According to the experimental conditions in "Tentative preparation method of test solution for content determination of Shujincao formula granules" in 2.6.4, prepare the test solution of Shujincao formula granules.

[0121] Preparation of negative control solution: According to the above-determined experimental conditions, prepare a negative control solution without Shujincao formula granules. The results are shown in Figure 7 , from Figure 7 it can be seen that the chromatogram of the negative solution has no interference on the determination of the target peak, indicating that the method has good specificity.

[0122] 2.7.2 Precision investigation

[0123] Inject the 4-hydroxybenzoic acid reference solution continuously for 6 times, record the peak areas, and calculate the RSD value. The results are shown in Table 8.

[0124] Table 8 Results of precision investigation

[0125]

[0126] From the above, it can be seen that the RSD value of the peak area of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid in the precision investigation is 0.1%, indicating good precision of the instrument.

[0127] 2.7.3 Linear relationship

[0128] Weigh an appropriate amount of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, place it in a 50 mL volumetric flask, dissolve it with 70% ethanol to prepare a solution containing 50.3600 μg / mL (purity 100.0%) of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, and then dilute it to concentrations of 1.0072 μg / ml, 2.0144 μg / ml, 5.0360 μg / ml, 10.0720 μg / ml, and 25.1800 μg / ml. Inject 10 μl of each solution into the liquid chromatograph for determination. Plot the response curve with the concentration (X, μg / mL) as the abscissa and the peak area (Y) as the ordinate. The results are shown in Table 9 and Figure 8 :

[0129] Table 9 Analysis results of the standard curve of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid

[0130]

[0131] From Figure 8 it can be seen that when the injection concentration of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid is within 1.0072 - 50.3600 μg / ml, the linear relationship is y = 54.1463x - 9.3959, R Figure 8 , = 0.9998, indicating that the 4-hydroxybenzoic acid sample concentration showed a good linear relationship at 1.0072-50.3600 μg / ml.
