[0053] Comparative Example 1:

[0054] This comparative example uses lotus root formula particles to compare different developing agent systems. The specific process is as follows:

[0055] Preparation of the test solution: Take 0.5 g of lotus root granules, grind them into powder, add 20 ml of methanol, treat with ultrasound for 30 minutes, filter, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, add 20 ml of water to the residue to dissolve it, shake and extract with ethyl acetate twice, 20 ml each time, combine the ethyl acetate solutions, evaporate to dryness, add 1 ml of methanol to the residue to dissolve it, and use it as the test solution.

[0056] Preparation of control medicinal solution: Take 1g of lotus stamen control medicinal material, add 50ml of water, heat and reflux for 1 hour, filter, concentrate the filtrate to near dryness, add 20ml of methanol to the residue, ultrasonically treat for 30 minutes, filter, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, add 20ml of water to the residue to dissolve it, shake and extract with ethyl acetate twice, 20ml each time, combine the ethyl acetate solutions, evaporate to dryness, add 1ml of methanol to the residue to dissolve it, and use it as the control medicinal solution.

[0057] Different development systems: 1) The thin layer developer under the lotus stamen item in the 2020 edition of the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia": cyclohexane-ethyl acetate-anhydrous formic acid (9:3:0.7), the color developer is 10% sulfuric acid ethanol solution; 2) methanol-glacial acetic acid-water (12:1:1), the color developer is 3% aluminum chloride ethanol solution; 3) The developer of the present invention: n-butanol-acetone-glacial acetic acid-water (2:2:1:7), the color developer is 3% aluminum chloride ethanol solution. Absorb the test solution of the lotus stamen formula granules prepared by the above method three and the control medicinal material solution prepared by method one, spot them on the polyamide film, develop them according to the above different thin layer identification conditions, spray them with the specified color developer, and inspect them under ultraviolet light (365nm).

[0058] Result analysis: Figure 7 ① to ③ correspond to three different development systems. ① is the developing agent for thin-layer identification of lotus stamens in the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, but the results show that when this developing agent system is applied to formula granules, there are fewer thin-layer spots and poor separation, so it is not suitable for identification of lotus stamens formula granules; at the same time, when the developing system in ② is used, the separation is poor. When ③, i.e., the developing agent system in the method of the present invention, is used, the separation of the test sample of the formula granules is good, the spot information is rich and corresponds one to one with the control medicinal materials.

[0059] Comparative Example 2:

[0060] This comparative example uses lotus root formula particles to compare different proportions of the developing agent. The specific process is as follows:

[0062] Preparation of control medicinal solution: Take 1g of lotus stamen control medicinal material, add 50ml of water, heat and reflux for 1 hour, filter, concentrate the filtrate to near dryness, add 20ml of methanol to the residue, ultrasonically treat for 30 minutes, filter, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, add 20ml of water to the residue to dissolve it, shake and extract with ethyl acetate twice, 20ml each time, combine the ethyl acetate solutions, evaporate to dryness, add 1ml of methanol to the residue to dissolve it, and use it as the control medicinal solution.

[0063] Different developing agent ratios: 1) n-butanol-acetone-glacial acetic acid-water (2:2:1:10); 2) n-butanol-acetone-glacial acetic acid-water (2:2:1:8); 3) n-butanol-acetone-glacial acetic acid-water (2:2:1:7); 4) n-butanol-acetone-glacial acetic acid-water (2:2:1:6), the lotus root formula granule test solution prepared by the above method 3 and the control medicinal material solution prepared by method 1 are taken, spotted on the polyamide film, developed according to the above different thin layer identification conditions, sprayed with the specified developer, and inspected under ultraviolet light (365nm),

[0064] Result analysis: Figure 8 ①~④ correspond to 4 different developing agent ratios. When using developing agent ratio ①, there are fewer thin layer spots and poor separation; when using medium developing agent ratio ②, the separation is poor. When using medium developing agent ratio ③, the separation of the formula granules is good, the spot information is rich and corresponds to the control medicinal materials one by one, and the Rf value is moderate; when using developing agent ratio ④, the chromatographic spots have overlapping tailing phenomenon.

[0065] Comparative Example 3:

[0066] This comparative example compares different developing agent systems, and at the same time compares and examines the preparation methods of the test sample and the control medicinal material solution under the method item of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia under the developing agent of the present invention, and the developing agent used for the detection of lotus root formula granules. The specific process is as follows:

[0067] (1) Preparation method of different lotus stamen formula granules as test samples: 1) Take 0.5 g of lotus stamen formula granules, grind them into powder, add 20 ml of methanol, ultrasonically treat for 30 minutes, filter, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, add 1 ml of methanol to the residue to dissolve it, and use it as the test sample solution.

[0068] 2) Take 0.5 g of lotus root granules, grind them into powder, add 20 ml of water to dissolve them, shake and extract with ethyl acetate twice, 20 ml each time, combine the ethyl acetate solutions, evaporate to dryness, add 1 ml of methanol to dissolve the residue, and use it as the test solution.

[0069] 3) Take 0.5 g of lotus root formula granules, grind them into powder, add 20 ml of methanol, ultrasonically treat for 30 minutes, filter, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, add 20 ml of water to the residue to dissolve it, shake and extract with ethyl acetate twice, 20 ml each time, combine the ethyl acetate solutions, evaporate to dryness, add 1 ml of methanol to the residue to dissolve it, and use it as the test solution.

[0070] (2) Preparation method of different lotus stamen reference medicinal material solutions: S1: Take 1 g of lotus stamen reference medicinal material, add 50 ml of water, heat and reflux for 1 hour, filter, concentrate the filtrate to near dryness, add 20 ml of methanol to the residue, ultrasonically treat for 30 minutes, filter, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, add 20 ml of water to the residue to dissolve it, shake and extract with ethyl acetate twice, 20 ml each time, combine the ethyl acetate solutions, evaporate to dryness, add 1 ml of methanol to the residue to dissolve it, and use it as the reference medicinal material solution.

[0071] S2: Take 1 g of lotus stamen reference medicinal material, add 20 ml of methanol, treat with ultrasound for 30 minutes, filter, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, add 1 ml of methanol to the residue to dissolve it, and use it as the reference medicinal material solution.

[0072] According to the thin layer chromatography method (General Rules 0502 of the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia), 1 μL of each of the three test sample solutions and 2 μL of each of the two control medicinal material solutions were taken and spotted on the same polyamide thin layer plate, and developed with n-butanol-acetone-glacial acetic acid-water (2:2:1:7) as the developing agent. After development, the plate was taken out, dried, sprayed with 3% aluminum chloride ethanol solution, and examined under ultraviolet light (365 nm).

[0073] Result analysis: Fig. 9 1 to 3 are the chromatograms of the test samples of lotus stamen formula granules prepared by the three preparation methods, and S1 to S2 are the chromatograms of the lotus stamen reference medicinal materials prepared by the two preparation methods. When the lotus stamen formula granules were prepared by methods 1 and 2, the sample spots were blurred, and the spots were clear and round when method 3 was used; when the reference medicinal material was prepared by method 1, the spot separation was good, and at this time, the spots of the granules method 3 corresponded one to one.

[0074] Comprehensive analysis: The thin-layer identification method of lotus stamens and its preparation provided by the present invention is simple and fast in sample preparation operation. The developing agent in the present invention can be used for thin-layer identification of lotus stamens medicinal materials and thin-layer identification of lotus stamen preparations. The chromatographic spots are more abundant and the separation is good, which overcomes the problems of few spots of the sample and few spot information of the thin-layer spectrum of lotus stamen preparations in the existing thin-layer identification method. At the same time, aluminum chloride ethanol is used as a color developer, which is a color developer unique to flavonoid components. Therefore, the thin-layer identification method presents the flavonoid components unique to lotus stamens. At the same time, the method of the present invention uses a polyamide film as a thin-layer plate, which greatly reduces the amount of sample spotting, and can achieve the effect of rich spot information and good separation.
