Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine detection, and specifically relates to a quality detection method for Yishen Qingli Huoxue Prescription. Background Technique

[0002] Yishen Qingli Huoxue Prescription is a characteristic hospital preparation in Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Professor Sun Wei has been long engaged in the clinical and basic research of chronic kidney disease (CKD). On the basis of inheriting the academic thoughts of Professor Zou Yunxiang, the founder of modern traditional Chinese medicine nephrology, and Professor Zou Yanqin, a national master of traditional Chinese medicine, through clinical efficacy analysis, prescription data mining, epidemiological research, and expert surveys, etc., it is found that "kidney deficiency", "damp-heat", and "blood stasis" are the core pathogenesis of CKD, and the theory of "kidney deficiency, dampness, and blood stasis" in CKD is creatively proposed, advocating the prevention and treatment of CKD with the theory of "protecting the kidney and delaying senility", and on this basis, Yishen Qingli Huoxue Prescription is created. This prescription is composed of astragalus membranaceus, angelica sinensis, polygonum cuspidatum, serissa japonica, smilax glabra, achyranthes bidentata, pyrrosia lingua, rheum officinale, centella asiatica, polygonatum sibiricum, and abelmoschus manihot. It has the effects of invigorating the spleen and kidney, clearing away damp-heat, and removing blood stasis and discharging turbidity. Astragalus membranaceus is slightly warm in nature and is an important medicine for tonifying the kidney, which can greatly tonify primordial qi. Astragalus membranaceus combined with angelica sinensis tonifies the kidney and nourishes blood, astragalus membranaceus combined with polygonatum sibiricum supplements qi and nourishes yin, angelica sinensis combined with achyranthes bidentata promotes blood circulation and nourishes blood, and the supplementation is not stagnant. Centella asiatica, polygonum cuspidatum, pyrrosia lingua, and abelmoschus manihot clear away damp-heat and promote diuresis for treating stranguria; smilax glabra, serissa japonica, and rheum officinale activate blood circulation to break stasis and dredge the bowel to discharge turbidity. All the medicines work together to achieve the effect of tonifying the kidney, clearing away damp-heat, and activating blood circulation, and good clinical effects have been obtained.

[0003] The components of Yishen Qingli Huoxue Prescription are complex. Relying on a single detection method, it is impossible to comprehensively and objectively detect its quality. In order to fully control its clinical effectiveness and safety and safeguard the interests of patients, it is very necessary to research and design a detection method that can comprehensively and accurately detect the active ingredients of Yishen Qingli Huoxue Prescription on the basis of the existing technology, which can provide a reference basis for comprehensively evaluating and controlling the quality and clinical application of Yishen Qingli Huoxue Prescription.

[0038] Optimization of detection conditions

[0039] 1. Selection of mobile phase

[0040] In positive ion mode, the aqueous phase consisted of pure water, 0.1% formic acid, 0.2% formic acid, and 0.3% formic acid, while the organic phase consisted of methanol and acetonitrile. Different combinations and ratios of the above aqueous and organic phases were investigated, and finally, 0.1% formic acid:acetonitrile = 60:40 was determined as the mobile phase. Under this condition, the chromatographic peaks of each component were well-shaped and well-separated.

[0041] In negative ion mode, the aqueous phase selected was pure water with a concentration of 1 mmol·L⁻¹. -1 Aqueous solution of methyl / ammonium acetate, 2 mmol·L -1 Aqueous solution of methyl / ammonium acetate, 5 mmol·L -1 An aqueous solution of methyl / ammonium acetate was prepared, with methanol and acetonitrile selected as the organic phase. Different combinations and ratios of the above aqueous and organic phases were investigated, and finally, a concentration of 2 mmol·L⁻¹ was determined. -1 Gradient elution with ammonium formate aqueous solution (aqueous phase) and acetonitrile (organic phase) resulted in good peak shapes and separation for each component.

[0042] 2. Selection of column temperature and flow rate

[0043] This study investigated different column temperatures (25, 30, 35, 40 °C) and flow rates (0.2, 0.3, 0.4 mL·min). -1 The effect of the column temperature on the chromatographic peak was investigated, and the results showed that the optimal column temperature was 40℃ and the flow rate was 0.2 mL / min. -1 The obtained chromatographic peaks showed good performance in terms of peak shape, number, and resolution.

[0044] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0045] (1) Because the Yishen Qingli Huoxue Formula consists of 11 Chinese medicinal herbs, its chemical composition is very complex, containing compounds of various structural types such as anthraquinones, flavonoids, aromatic acids, and sterones. Conventional chromatographic conditions cannot effectively separate them, and the sensitivity of ultraviolet detectors is not high. This invention, through extensive experimentation, screened the optimal preparation methods for the test sample and the reference sample, as well as the optimal chromatographic separation conditions and highly sensitive mass spectrometry analysis conditions, and established a method for determining the content of the Yishen Qingli Huoxue Formula. This method can simultaneously detect the content of 11 compounds of different structural types, including resveratrol, rhein, styracin, aloe-emodin, rhein, chlorogenic acid, polygalactosidin, astilbin, hyperoside, verbascoside, and β-ecdysterone. The establishment of this method can not only effectively characterize the quality of the Yishen Qingli Huoxue Formula, but also facilitate comprehensive monitoring of the quality of the drug and ensure clinical efficacy.

[0046] (2) The method of the present invention has the advantages of good stability, high precision, high accuracy, and good reproducibility. It can comprehensively, objectively, and accurately evaluate and control the quality of the kidney-tonifying, blood-activating, and detoxifying formula. Attached Figure Description
