Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for processing Sophora japonica pods, fingerprint spectrum, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Sophora japonica fruit, the dried, ripe fruit of the legume Sophora japonica L., is cold in nature and bitter in taste, and enters the liver and large intestine meridians. It has the effects of clearing heat and purging fire, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and is used for symptoms such as intestinal heat causing hematochezia, bleeding from hemorrhoids, liver heat causing headache, dizziness, and red eyes. The main components of Sophora japonica fruit include flavonoids, isoflavones, alkaloids, triterpenoid saponins, amino acids, and stearic acid, among which isoflavones and their glycosides are the most abundant. Sophora japonica fruit has anti-cancer and estrogen-like effects, and has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on cancer, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, and menopausal syndrome in women. Raw Sophora japonica fruit has a stronger effect in clearing heat and cooling blood, and is used to cool blood and stop bleeding. Charred Sophora japonica fruit has a significantly reduced cold nature and is better at astringing and stopping bleeding. The appearance and efficacy of Sophora japonica fruit change after processing, which is speculated to be related to the changes in active substances during the charring process. Sophora japonica charcoal is used as the principal ingredient in the classic formula Liangxue Dihuang Decoction, and its application is also recorded in collections of empirical prescriptions and Yang's Family Prescriptions. Currently, research on the processing of Sophora japonica charcoal is not systematic or in-depth enough. Standards for its properties are not yet unified, and judgment is based solely on subjective experience, resulting in significant differences in the quality of processed products from different regions, leading to substantial variations in clinical effects. There is also limited research on the identification of components before and after charring Sophora japonica charcoal, and no analysis of the hemostatic material basis of Sophora japonica charcoal is available.

[0003] The 2021 issue of Volume 52, Issue 21 of the Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs journal published a study by Li Jingfeng et al. on the establishment of HPLC fingerprint chromatograms and chemical pattern recognition of Sophora japonica fruit from different origins. The method used an Agilent Zorbax SB C18 column on an Agilent 1260 high-performance liquid chromatograph, with a detection wavelength of 260 nm, a flow rate of 0.6 mL / min, and isocratic elution using methanol-acetonitrile-0.07% phosphoric acid water (12:20:68) as the mobile phase. Nine common peaks were obtained, but only rutin, genistein, and sennain were identified, resulting in somewhat limited chemical information. Existing methods do not provide comprehensive information on the components of Sophora japonica fruit, making it difficult to objectively, accurately, and comprehensively evaluate the quality of both raw and charred Sophora japonica fruit. Therefore, establishing fingerprint chromatogram methods for raw and charred Sophora japonica fruit is of great significance for their quality control. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the limited number of detection methods for raw or charred Sophora japonica fruit, the limited number of detectable components, and the lack of effective and efficient methods for evaluating the quality of raw or charred Sophora japonica fruit. This invention provides a method for processing Sophora japonica fruit, a fingerprint spectrum, and its applications. The fingerprint spectrum provided by this invention can quickly and accurately evaluate the quality of raw or charred Sophora japonica fruit by separating and qualitatively identifying multiple effective components. It can comprehensively characterize the chemical information in Sophora japonica fruit and charred Sophora japonica fruit, guiding industrial production, better ensuring product quality, and providing a scientific and effective method for the research and quality control of the pharmacodynamic material basis of raw or charred Sophora japonica fruit.

[0130] 2. Preparation of Sophora japonica charcoal samples

[0131] Ten batches of prescription medicinal materials were purchased from major medicinal material producing areas and traditional producing areas across the country. The origin information of the medicinal materials is shown in Table 1.

[0132] Table 1 Information on the Origin of Medicinal Materials

[0133]

[0134] Unless otherwise stated, the preparation method of Sophora japonica charcoal in the embodiments is as follows: Weigh about 400g of cleaned raw Sophora japonica fruit, put it into a pot at a temperature of about 200℃ and stir-fry for 20 minutes. Take it out and let it cool for later use. Grind it into powder and pass it through a No. 3 sieve to obtain Sophora japonica charcoal reference material.

[0135] The medicinal materials listed in Table 1 were used as raw materials to prepare Sophora japonica charcoal, and were numbered sequentially as t1-t10; t9 was the batch used for method validation.

[0136] The present invention will be further explained and described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0137] Example 1

[0138] 1. Preparation of reference solution

[0139] Take appropriate amounts of naringin, sophoridine, sophoridine, rutin, kaempferol, genistein, genistein, isorhamnetin-3-O-β-D-rutinoside, kaempferol-3-O-β-D-rutinoside, kaempferol-3-O-β-D-sophora, kaempferol-3-O-β-D-sophorabiose-7-O-α-L-rhamnoside, and kaempferol-3-O-(2”-O-β-D-glucosyl)-β-D-rutinoside reference standards, dissolve them in methanol, and prepare a solution containing 10 μg of each reference standard per 1 mL as the reference solution.

[0140] 2. Preparation of the sample solution: Accurately measure about 1g of Sophora japonica fruit (s1-s10) or Sophora japonica fruit charcoal powder (t1-t10), place it in a 50mL stoppered conical flask, accurately add 30mL of 70% methanol, seal tightly, weigh, sonicate (power 250W, frequency 40KHz) for 60 minutes, cool, weigh again, replenish the lost weight with 70% methanol, shake well, filter, and collect the filtrate to obtain the sample solution.

[0141] When establishing the extraction method, preliminary experiments compared water extraction and alcohol extraction. Under the full wavelength scan of 200-400nm, methanol extraction yielded more peaks than water and ethanol extraction and was less expensive. Therefore, methanol extraction was chosen, and after comparing the extraction effects of different concentrations of methanol, the extraction concentration was determined to be 70% methanol.

[0185] The results showed that the RSD values ​​of the common peak area and retention time of the test solution were all less than 5.0% at each time point within 48 hours, indicating that the test solution was stable within 48 hours.

[0186] 5. Applications of fingerprint mapping

[0187] 5.1 Preparation of Sophora japonica charcoal samples

[0188] Weigh approximately 400g of cleaned raw Sophora japonica fruit (s1-s10), divide it into 8 portions, and put the remaining 7 portions into a pot at a temperature of about 200℃. Stir-fry for 5, 9, 12, 15, 20, 30 and 50 minutes respectively. Remove and let cool for later use. Prepare 10 batches of samples for each of the different degrees of stir-frying.

[0189] 5.2. Establishing UPLC fingerprints for charred Sophora japonica fruit at different processing times

[0190] 5.2.1 Preparation of Sophora japonica charcoal test solution

[0191] Grind the charred Sophora japonica fruit into powder and pass it through a No. 3 sieve. Weigh approximately 1g of each powder and accurately add 30mL of 70% methanol. Weigh the powder, sonicate (250w, 70KHz) for 60min, cool, weigh again, add 70% methanol to make up the weight, shake well, and filter through a 0.22μm microporous membrane to obtain test solution 1.

[0192] Weigh 10g of different coarse powders of Sophora japonica charcoal, soak them in 200mL of water for 30min, boil them and decoct them for 30min, add 160mL of water and continue to decoct for 20min, filter (single layer filter cloth 300 mesh), concentrate the filtrate to 100mL, freeze dry to obtain freeze-dried powder of Sophora japonica charcoal product, prepare a test solution with a concentration of 0.025g / mL using pure water.

[0193] Based on the results of the previous investigation of sample pretreatment methods, the chromatographic peaks of test solution 1 and 2 are basically consistent.

[0194] Preparation of Yunnan Baiyao test sample (batch number ZJA2014): The clinical dosage of Yunnan Baiyao is 2g / 70kg. The dosage of Yunnan Baiyao in this experiment is twice the clinical equivalent dose, i.e., 0.52g / kg. Accurately weigh 2.6g of Yunnan Baiyao into a 100mL volumetric flask, dilute to volume with physiological saline, and shake well.

[0195] 5.2.2 Fingerprint Spectrum Establishment: The fingerprint spectrum of the above-obtained samples was determined by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). Chromatographic conditions: Waters ACQUITY CSH C18 column (150 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) was used; the mobile phases were: A was 0.05% formic acid solution, and B was methanol; gradient elution was used: 0–9 min, 10%–20% (v / v) mobile phase B; 9–27 min, 20%–40% (v / v) mobile phase B; 27–30 min, 40% (v / v) mobile phase B; 30–39 min, 40%–60% (v / v) mobile phase B; 39–42 min, ... Flow rate: 0.15 mL / min; Detector: UV-DAD detector; Detection wavelength: 280 nm; Column temperature: 35 °C; Injection volume: 1 μl. Flow rate: 0.15 mL / min; Flow rate: 0.15 mL / min; Detector: UV-DAD detector; Detection wavelength: 280 nm; Column temperature: 35 °C; Injection volume: 1 μl.

[0196] 5.2.3 The characteristic peak data were obtained through analysis using the "Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprints of Traditional Chinese Medicine" software: Retention times were as follows: Peak 1 5.31 min, Peak 2 5.60 min, Peak 3 6.56 min, Peak 4 9.14 min, Peak 5 11.31 min, Peak 6 16.89 min, Peak 7 19.83 min, Peak 8 22.97 min, Peak 9 25.92 min, Peak 10 27.44 min, Peak 11 27.91 min, Peak 12 28.24 min, Peak 13 30.14 min, Peak 14 30.53 min, Peak 15 32.78 min, Peak 16 33.15 min, Peak 17 33.60 min. The chromatograms of characteristic peaks at different processing times are as follows: Peak 18 34.06 min, Peak 19 34.70 min, Peak 20 34.99 min, Peak 21 35.96 min, Peak 22 36.28 min, Peak 23 37.45 min, Peak 24 38.27 min, Peak 25 39.89 min, Peak 26 40.90 min, Peak 27 41.63 min, Peak 28 42.09 min, Peak 29 43.35 min, Peak 30 43.58 min, Peak 31 44.44 min, Peak 32 44.60 min, Peak 33 45.31 min, Peak 34 46.28 min, Peak 35 46.74 min, Peak 36 49.21 min. See the chromatograms of characteristic peaks at different processing times. Figure 4 After 22 minutes, the peak area of ​​flavonoid glycosides gradually decreased, while the aglycone gradually increased. Therefore, based on the characteristic of phenolic acid components first increasing and then decreasing in the first 20 minutes, it was found that they reached their maximum between 15 and 20 minutes. Thus, 15 to 20 minutes is temporarily considered to be the optimal processing time.

[0197] 5.3 Pharmacodynamic experiments were conducted on samples with different processing times.

[0198] 5.3.1 One hundred ICR mice weighing 19–21g were selected, half male and half female. After being fed normally for 3 days, they were randomly divided into 10 groups of 10 mice each, and were numbered and weighed.

[0199] 5.3.2 The samples were grouped as follows: saline group, Yunnan Baiyao group, raw Sophora japonica fruit group (fried for 0 min), Sophora japonica fruit sample group (fried for 5 min), Sophora japonica fruit sample group (fried for 9 min), Sophora japonica fruit sample group (fried for 12 min), Sophora japonica fruit sample group (fried for 15 min), Sophora japonica fruit sample group (fried for 20 min), Sophora japonica fruit sample group (fried for 30 min), and Sophora japonica fruit sample group (fried for 50 min).

[0200] 5.3.3 Bleeding Time (BT): All groups were administered the test solution 2 via gavage once daily, with a volume of 0.1 mL / 10 g. The normal control group received an equal volume of 0.9% saline via gavage for 6 consecutive days. One hour after the last gavage, the mice were placed in a restraint device and laid flat on the operating table. The tail was cut 1 mm from the tip with scissors. Timing was started when blood began to flow spontaneously. Blood droplets from the tail tip were absorbed with filter paper every 30 seconds until no more blood flowed (i.e., no bloodstains appeared on the filter paper). The time from the start of blood flow after tail amputation to the cessation of bleeding was defined as the bleeding time. Bleeding times were calculated, and inter-group comparisons were performed. Bleeding times exceeding 10 minutes were not included in the data analysis.

[0201] 5.3.4 Clotting Time (CT): Mice were administered 0.2 mL / 10 g via gavage for 6 consecutive days. One hour after the last administration, mice were fixed in a tethered dish, and blood was collected by tail clipping. Blood was dropped onto a glass slide (the first drop was discarded, two drops were added, and one drop was retested). The blood drop diameter was approximately 5 mm. A stopwatch was immediately used to time the event. Every 30 seconds, a clean No. 7 needle was used to gently prick the blood drop from the edge inwards, observing for any blood streaks. The time elapsed from blood collection to the appearance of blood streaks was the clotting time. Data are shown in Table 10 below, and the pharmacodynamic chromatogram is shown in […]. Figure 5 , 6 .

[0206] The results above show that roasting Sophora japonica charcoal for 20 minutes can significantly shorten the hemostasis and clotting time, verifying its hemostatic effect and indicating that a roasting time of 20 minutes is appropriate.

[0207] 5.3.5 Coagulation panel

[0208] Preparation of anticoagulated blood: homemade blood collection tubes (1 hour after administration to mice, the mouse eyeballs were removed and the blood was dripped into an EP tube containing 38 g / L sodium citrate anticoagulant (blood: anticoagulant = 9:1)).

[0209] Preparation of anticoagulated plasma: Centrifuge the anticoagulated blood at 3000 r / min for 10 min. The resulting supernatant plasma is platelet-poor plasma (PPP). The obtained plasma sample needs to be tested within 4 hours.

[0210] 5.3.5.1 Determination of Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT)

[0211] Equilibrate the APTT reagent to room temperature, incubate with 0.025 mol / L CaCl2 solution at 37°C for 5 min; take 50 μL of the plasma to be tested, add 50 μL of APTT reagent equilibrated to room temperature, mix well, and incubate in a water bath at 37°C for 3 min; add 50 μL of 0.025 mol / L CaCl2 solution pre-warmed to 37°C, mix well; immediately start a stopwatch and record the coagulation time, which is the APTT value (s). Repeat the experiment twice for each sample and take the average value.

[0212] 5.3.5.2 Measurement of prothrombin time (PT)

[0213] Preheat the PT reagent to 37°C before use; take 50 μL of the plasma to be tested, mix well, incubate at 37°C for 3 min, add 100 μL of the preheated PT reagent, mix well, immediately start the stopwatch, and record the coagulation time, which is the PT value (s). Repeat the experiment twice for each sample and take the average value.

[0214] 5.3.5.3 Determination of plasma thrombin time (TT)

[0215] Equilibrate the TT reagent to room temperature; take 100 μL of the plasma to be tested, mix well, and incubate at 37°C for 3 min; add 50 μL of the TT reagent equilibrated to room temperature, mix well, and immediately start a stopwatch to record the coagulation time, which is the TT value (s). Repeat the experiment twice for each sample and take the average value.

[0216] 5.3.5.4 Determination of fibrinogen (FIB)

[0217] Dilute the plasma sample 10-fold with imidazole buffer. Take 100 μL of the diluted plasma and incubate at 37°C for 3 min. Add 50 μL of FIB assay reagent equilibrated to room temperature, mix well, and immediately start a stopwatch to record the coagulation time. Repeat the experiment twice for each sample and take the average value.

[0218] Efficacy data are shown in Table 11, and the chromatogram is shown in [the original text]. Figure 7 The results of PT and FIB experiments showed that there were significant differences between the charred Sophora japonica fruit group and the saline group and the raw Sophora japonica fruit group. The charred Sophora japonica fruit group shortened the PT time and increased the FIB content, indicating that the hemostatic effect of charred Sophora japonica fruit may be related to the extrinsic coagulation pathway and the fibrin pathway.

[0224] 6.1 Method

[0225] 6.1.1 Bivariate Correlation Analysis

[0226] Using the quantified peak area as the independent variable and the efficacy index as the dependent variable, bivariate correlation analysis was performed using SPSS 18.0 statistical software to obtain the Pearson correlation coefficients between each relevant peak in the fingerprint spectrum and the efficacy.

[0227] 6.1.2 Multiple Linear Regression Analysis

[0228] Using the quantified peak area as the independent variable and the efficacy index as the dependent variable, linear regression analysis was performed on the data using SPSS 18.0, and the stepwise introduction method was used for model fitting.

[0229] 6.1.3 PCA Analysis and Ward Cluster Analysis

[0230] PCA analysis was performed on 35 common peaks of raw and charred Sophora japonica fruit using SPSS 18.0 to identify indicators with significant cumulative contribution rates to the differences between raw and charred Sophora japonica fruit, thus making the evaluation of spectral efficacy more accurate. The results of the PCA analysis were verified by Ward cluster analysis.

[0231] 6.2 Results

[0232] 62.1 Results of Bivariate Correlation Analysis

[0233] As shown in Table 12 below, 21 chromatographic peaks are correlated with hemostatic efficacy indicators. The chromatographic peaks with the best correlation are 2, 3, 7, 12, 17, 20, 22, 23, 27, 30 and 31. Among them, chromatographic peak 2 is strongly correlated with BT, chromatographic peaks 7, 12 and 31 are strongly correlated with CT, chromatographic peak 3 is strongly correlated with PT value, and chromatographic peak 20 is strongly correlated with FIB. Based on the comparison with reference standards and relative retention times, and the comparison of UV-Vis chromatograms and mass spectrometry data, the following chromatographic peaks were identified: peak 2 as gallic acid, peak 3 as p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, peak 7 as methyl gallate, peak 12 as dihydrokaempferol-3-O-glucoside, peak 17 as kaempferol-3-O-(2″-O-β-D-glucosyl)-β-D-rutin, peak 20 as kaempferol-3-O-sophorose, peak 22 as dihydroapigenin-7-O-glucoside, peak 23 as rutin, peak 27 as kaempferol-3-O-rutin, and peak 30 as eleutheroside. The structural formulas are as follows:

[0247] 6.2.2 Results of Multiple Linear Regression Analysis

[0248] As shown in Table 15 below, the correlation coefficients between the chromatographic peaks related to Sophora japonica charcoal and the two hemostatic indicators CT and PT established in the model are relatively high, R 2The values ​​were all greater than 0.85, indicating that 85% of the changes in CT and PT could be explained by the independent variables. The p-values ​​were all less than 0.05, which were statistically significant, indicating that the model could effectively evaluate the relationship between the carbonized peaks of Sophora japonica fruit and the hemostatic pharmacological activity.

[0250]

[0251]

[0252] Wherein, X2 represents the peak area of ​​the chromatographic peak (chromatographic peak 2) with a retention time of 5.60 min, X3 represents the peak area of ​​the chromatographic peak (chromatographic peak 3) with a retention time of 6.56 min, X26 represents the peak area of ​​the chromatographic peak (chromatographic peak 26) with a retention time of 40.90 min, X28 represents the peak area of ​​the chromatographic peak (chromatographic peak 28) with a retention time of 42.09 min, X31 represents the peak area of ​​the chromatographic peak (chromatographic peak 31) with a retention time of 44.34 min, and X33 represents the peak area of ​​the chromatographic peak (chromatographic peak 33) with a retention time of 45.31 min.

[0253] Based on the combined results of the two analytical methods, it can be basically determined that the components responsible for the hemostatic effect of Sophora japonica charcoal are small molecule compounds of flavonoids and phenolic acids. The chromatographic peaks 2 (gallic acid), 3 (p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol), 7 (methyl gallate), 12 (dihydrokaempferol-3-O-glucoside), 17 (kaempferol-3-O-(2″-O-β-D-glucosyl)-β-D-rutin), 20 (kaempferol-3-O-sophorose), 22 (dihydroapigenin-7-O-glucoside), 23 (rutin), 26 (apigenin-7-O-rutin), 28 (isorhamnoside-3-O-β-D-rutin), 27 (kaempferol-3-O-rutin), 30 (e.g., linalool), and 33 (e.g., genistein-4′-O-(6″-acetyl)-glucoside) may be the material basis for the hemostatic effect of Sophora japonica charcoal.

[0254] 6.2.3 Results of PCA and Ward cluster analysis

[0255] The chromatograms of raw and charred Sophora japonica fruit show common peaks. Figure 1 , 2 The analysis results are shown in Table 16. Components with a cumulative contribution rate of >90%, eigenvalues ​​>1, and passing the KMO (the closer to 1, the more suitable for PCA analysis) and Bartlett's test (P<0.01) were retained.

[0256] Table 16 Principal Component Analysis Results

[0257]

[0258] PCA score chart of raw and charred Sophora japonica fruit ( Figure 8 As can be seen from the graph, raw Sophora japonica fruit is located on the left side of the score chart, while charred Sophora japonica fruit is located on the right side, each clustering into a separate category. This indicates that charring significantly affects the overall chemical composition of Sophora japonica fruit. From the principal component analysis above, four main components can be identified. The first principal component has a contribution rate of 73.386%, the second principal component has a contribution rate of 9.995%, the third principal component has an independent contribution rate of 5.421%, and the fourth principal component has an independent contribution rate of 3.971%. The cumulative contribution rate of the four principal components is 92.773%, which meets the requirements. Table 17, the component loading matrix, illustrates the contribution rate of each variable to the principal components. The larger the absolute value of the loading, the greater the contribution to the principal component. The first principal component has the largest information content, with an independent contribution rate of 73.386%. Peaks 27 (0.988), 16 (0.987), 30 (0.975), 19 (0.965), 6 (0.964), 21 (0.962), and 4 (0.956) have relatively large loading values. The independent contribution rate of the second principal component was 9.995%, with peaks 2 (0.748), 35 (0.735), 1 (0.680), 34 (0.583), and 33 (0.582) showing relatively large loading values. The independent contribution rate of the third principal component was 5.421%, with peaks 25 (0.820), 20 (0.353), 28 (0.337), 9 (0.330), and 3 (0.329) showing relatively large loading values. The independent contribution rate of the fourth principal component was 3.971%, with peaks 34 (0.629), 25 (0.345), 10 (0.340), 9 (0.332), and 12 (0.308) showing relatively large loading values. This indicates that multiple chemical components contribute to the quality differences in Sophora japonica fruit.

[0260]

[0261]

[0262] Subsequently, the principal component analysis was validated using Ward's cluster analysis method in SPSS 18.0 software, such as... Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the raw and charred Sophora japonica fruit products also clustered into separate groups. The results shown in the figure are basically consistent with the PCA analysis results, indicating that the PCA analysis results are reliable. Furthermore, the differences in the chemical fingerprint peaks between the raw and charred Sophora japonica fruit products can be identified using clustering. Combining the peak areas of each of the 36 relevant peaks and the Pearson correlation analysis results, it can be confirmed that components 1 and 3 are mainly phenolic acids and flavonoid glycosides, component 2 is mainly phenolic acids and flavonoid aglycones, and component 4 is a flavonoid glycoside.

[0326] 2. Wavelength selection

[0327] Take an appropriate amount of Sophora japonica charcoal sample t8 (i.e., Sophora japonica charcoal sample of raw product with batch number 210100881 that has been stir-fried for 20 minutes), and prepare the test solution according to the preparation method of the test sample solution in Example 1. Record the chromatograms at detection wavelengths of 230, 254 and 280 nm respectively. Other chromatographic conditions are the same as in Example 1 above.

[0328] Test results are shown Figure 18 In the figure, the wavelengths from bottom to top are 230, 254, and 280 nm, respectively. The chromatographic peaks are not significantly different. At a wavelength of 280 nm, the chromatographic peak response is higher. Therefore, the preferred wavelength is 280 nm.

[0329] 3. Selection of chromatographic column

[0330] Take an appropriate amount of Sophora japonica charcoal sample t8 (i.e., Sophora japonica charcoal sample of raw product roasted for 20 min with batch number 210100881), and prepare the test solution according to the preparation method of the test sample solution in Example 1. Sequentially determine the test solution using a 1-ACQUITY CSH C18 column (150 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) and a 2-Hypersi1 Gold column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.9 μm), with other chromatographic conditions the same as in Example 1 above.

[0331] The test results are shown in Table 34 and Figure 19In the figure, from bottom to top, are the ACQUITY CSH C18 column and the Hypersi1 Gold column. The results show that the chromatographic peaks with retention times of 25.000 min and 31.508 min on the Hypersi1 Gold column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.9 μm) have poor resolution; therefore, the ACQUITY CSH C18 column (150 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) was used.

[0333]

[0334]

[0335] 4. Column temperature selection

[0336] Take an appropriate amount of Sophora japonica charcoal sample t8 (i.e., Sophora japonica charcoal sample of raw product roasted for 20 min with batch number 210100881), and prepare the test solution according to the preparation method of the test sample solution in Example 1. Adjust the column temperature to 30℃, 35℃ and 40℃ respectively for determination. Other chromatographic conditions are the same as in Example 1 above.

[0337] The test results are shown in Table 35 and Figure 20 In the figure, the column temperatures from bottom to top are 30℃, 35℃, and 40℃. A column temperature of 30℃ is suitable for flavonoids such as rutin (t...). R =39.357min), isorhamnetin-3-O-rutin (t R =41.159min) The resolution was not as good as at 35℃, and the small peaks after the seventh peak (t R =34.622min), none; the flavonoid separation was not as good at 40℃ as at 35℃, so 35℃ was chosen in summary.

[0339]

[0340] 5. Selection of flow rate

[0341] Take an appropriate amount of Sophora japonica charcoal sample t8 (i.e., Sophora japonica charcoal sample of raw product roasted for 20 min with batch number 210100881), and prepare the test solution according to the preparation method of the test sample solution in Example 1. Adjust the flow rate to 0.12 mL / min, 0.15 mL / min and 0.18 mL / min respectively and measure them sequentially. Other chromatographic conditions are the same as in Example 1 above.

[0342] The test results are shown in Table 36 and Figure 21In the figure, the flow rates from bottom to top are 0.12 mL / min, 0.15 mL / min, and 0.18 mL / min. The overall chromatographic peaks show little difference, except that the small peak disappears at a flow rate of 0.18 mL / min (t...). R =31.59min, 32.289min), therefore, 0.12~0.15mL / min is selected.
