Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fingerprinting, specifically relating to a method for targeted detection of medicinal stems of Dendrobium nobile from Sichuan. Background Technology
[0002] Dendrobium nobile Lindl. is a perennial epiphytic herb with extensive and outstanding medicinal value. Clinically, it is widely used to treat chronic pharyngitis, gastrointestinal diseases, ophthalmic diseases, thrombotic obliterative diseases, diabetes, arthritis, and cancer. Dendrobium nobile is mainly distributed in Chishui and Xishui in Guizhou Province, and Luzhou in Sichuan Province, with the Dendrobium nobile from Hejiang County, Luzhou, Sichuan Province, being particularly prized and protected as a national geographical indication product.
[0003] However, in recent years, the Dendrobium medicinal herb industry has been plagued by mixed seed sources and the substitution of inferior products for superior ones, making it difficult to specifically identify Dendrobium from specific production areas, harvesting seasons, and varieties.
[0004] The fingerprint spectrum of Chinese medicinal materials refers to the spectrum obtained by using specific analytical methods and instruments after appropriate processing of Chinese medicinal materials, which can indicate the characteristics of the medicinal materials. Currently, there is no research specifically on the stems of *Dendrobium nobile* from the traditional producing area of Sichuan. While some existing studies have established fingerprint spectra for *Dendrobium* from other regions or varieties, they generally suffer from the following shortcomings: 1) Insufficient common peaks in the chromatograms, making it impossible to establish a characteristic fingerprint spectrum for *Dendrobium nobile*, and it is easily confused with *Dendrobium officinale*, *Dendrobium chrysanthum*, etc.; 2) Differences between *Dendrobium nobile* from the traditional producing area of Sichuan and other producing areas; 3) Inability to distinguish *Dendrobium nobile* harvested during the optimal harvesting season from those harvested in other seasons. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for targeted detection of medicinal stems of Dendrobium nobile from Sichuan.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is: a method for constructing a Dendrobium fingerprint spectrum, comprising the following steps:
[0007] (1) Mix the Dendrobium powder to be tested with methanol, sonicate, remove, cool and filter; evaporate the filtrate under reduced pressure, dissolve the residue in methanol, filter, shake well to obtain the test solution;
[0008] (2) Take the test solution, perform high performance liquid chromatography detection, and record the fingerprint spectrum;
[0009] The chromatographic conditions for the chromatographic detection were as follows: the chromatographic column was a C18 reversed-phase column; the column temperature was 30℃; the detection wavelength was 270nm; and the total flow rate was 0.8mL / min.
[0010] Preferably, in step (1), after the first filtration and before the filtrate is evaporated under reduced pressure, the dregs and filter paper obtained from the first filtration are cut into small pieces and placed in an Erlenmeyer flask, mixed with 80% methanol, ultrasonically treated, taken out, cooled, filtered, and the two filtrates are combined and then evaporated under reduced pressure.
[0011] Preferably, in the chromatographic conditions of step (2), mobile phase A is acetonitrile and mobile phase B is 0.2% formic acid solution.
[0012] Preferably, in the chromatographic conditions of step (2), the sample loading volume of the test solution is 10 μL.
[0013] Preferably, in step (2), the elution program is as follows: 0-10 min, mobile phase A accounts for 5%-10% of the total mobile phase volume, with the remainder being mobile phase B; 10-35 min, mobile phase A accounts for 10%-20% of the total mobile phase volume, with the remainder being mobile phase B; 35-55 min, mobile phase A accounts for 20%-28% of the total mobile phase volume, with the remainder being mobile phase B; 55-60 min, mobile phase A accounts for 28%-80% of the total mobile phase volume, with the remainder being mobile phase B; 60-75 min, mobile phase A accounts for 80%-85% of the total mobile phase volume, with the remainder being mobile phase B.
[0014] Accordingly, the method is applied to the identification of Dendrobium nobile harvested in winter from Sichuan.
[0015] Accordingly, the standard fingerprint spectrum obtained using the method contains 15 characteristic peaks.
[0016] Accordingly, the application of the standard fingerprint spectrum in identifying Dendrobium nobile harvested in winter from Sichuan involves obtaining a fingerprint spectrum of the Dendrobium nobile to be tested using the method described above, comparing it with the standard fingerprint spectrum, and identifying the Dendrobium nobile with the fingerprint spectrum containing all 15 characteristic peaks of the standard fingerprint spectrum as Dendrobium nobile harvested in winter from Sichuan.
[0017] This invention offers the following advantages: It constructs a novel HPLC fingerprint chromatogram for Dendrobium nobile, identifying 15 key characteristic peaks as common peaks, and establishing for the first time a standard HPLC fingerprint chromatogram for authentic Dendrobium nobile from Sichuan. This chromatogram can separate most chemical components from authentic Dendrobium nobile from Sichuan, exhibiting strong characteristic properties and comprehensively reflecting the chemical composition information of authentic Dendrobium nobile from Sichuan. It can also highly specifically identify the authenticity of authentic Dendrobium nobile from Sichuan.

Detailed Implementation
[0037] I. This invention provides a method for targeted detection of medicinal stems of Dendrobium nobile harvested in winter from Sichuan, specifically including the following steps:
[0038] 1. Preparation of the test solution. Mix Dendrobium nobile powder with methanol, sonicate, remove, cool, and filter. Cut the residue and filter paper into small pieces and place them in an Erlenmeyer flask, mix with 80% methanol, sonicate, remove, cool, and filter. Combine the two filtrates, evaporate to dryness under reduced pressure, dissolve the residue in methanol, filter through a 0.45 μm microporous membrane, and shake well to obtain the test solution.
[0039] 2. HPLC detection. Pipette the test solution and inject it into a high-performance liquid chromatograph for detection, recording the fingerprint chromatogram.
[0040] The chromatographic conditions were as follows: C18 reversed-phase column; column temperature 30℃; detection wavelength 270nm; mobile phase A was acetonitrile, mobile phase B was 0.2% formic acid solution; and total flow rate was 0.8mL / min.
[0041] The preferred elution program is as follows: 0–10 min, mobile phase A accounts for 5%–10% of the total mobile phase volume, with the remainder being mobile phase B; 10–35 min, mobile phase A accounts for 10%–20% of the total mobile phase volume, with the remainder being mobile phase B; 35–55 min, mobile phase A accounts for 20%–28% of the total mobile phase volume, with the remainder being mobile phase B; 55–60 min, mobile phase A accounts for 28%–80% of the total mobile phase volume, with the remainder being mobile phase B; 60–75 min, mobile phase A accounts for 80%–85% of the total mobile phase volume, with the remainder being mobile phase B.
[0042] 3. Record the chromatogram obtained in step 2 and import it into the National Pharmacopoeia Commission's "Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Characteristic Chromatographic Profiles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (2012 Edition)". Select stems from multiple batches of Sichuan-produced Dendrobium nobile medicinal materials, and obtain fingerprint profiles according to steps 1 and 2. Determine the standard fingerprint profile, and calibrate the chromatographic peaks with larger peak areas and better resolution. The standard fingerprint profile is determined to have 15 characteristic peaks. The standard fingerprint profile is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the retention times (average of multiple batches) of the 15 characteristic peaks are as follows: 6.882 min for peak 1, 8.284 min for peak 2, 10.674 min for peak 3, 11.67 min for peak 4, 18.69 min for peak 5, 28.94 min for peak 6, 33.726 min for peak 7, 37.842 min for peak 8, 47.593 min for peak 9, 48.965 min for peak 10, 53.437 min for peak 11, 54.201 min for peak 12, 61.312 min for peak 13, 68.968 min for peak 14, and 71.671 min for peak 15.
[0043] 4. Grind the Dendrobium to be tested into powder, perform the tests according to steps 1 and 2, and draw a chromatogram. Compare the drawn chromatogram with the standard fingerprint chromatogram prepared in step 3. If both have 15 characteristic peaks, it is Dendrobium nobile from Sichuan and harvested in winter (experiments have shown that the stems of Dendrobium nobile harvested in winter have the best quality).
[0044] Second, this invention also provides a standard fingerprint spectrum that can specifically identify the harvesting time and source of Dendrobium. The standard fingerprint spectrum is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the sample obtained by following steps 1 to 3 above has 15 characteristic peaks.
[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the embodiments are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art. All obtained data are average values obtained after at least three repetitions, and each repetition yields valid data.
[0046] Example 1: The effect of different extraction methods on the results of the test solution
[0047] 1. Select Dendrobium nobile from the same batch harvested in December 2020 from Hejiang County, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, and prepare test solutions according to the following methods:
[0048] Method (1): Weigh 0.4g of Dendrobium nobile powder, add 20mL of methanol, sonicate for 60min, remove, cool, and filter. Cut the residue and filter paper into small pieces and place them in an Erlenmeyer flask, add 20mL of 80% methanol, sonicate for 60min, remove, cool, and filter. Combine the two filtrates, evaporate to dryness under reduced pressure, dissolve the residue in an appropriate amount of methanol, place in a 2mL volumetric flask, add methanol to the mark, filter through a microporous membrane (0.45μm), shake well, and obtain test solution A.
[0049] Method (2): Weigh 0.4 g of Dendrobium nobile powder, place it in a stoppered conical flask, add 50 mL of acetonitrile, sonicate (power 250 W, frequency 40 kHz) for 2.5 h, cool to room temperature, centrifuge, and concentrate the supernatant under reduced pressure to dryness. Dissolve the residue in 20 mL of water, extract three times with 20 mL of ether each time. Combine the ether layers, evaporate to dryness using a rotary evaporator, dissolve the residue in 90% acetonitrile, make up to 1.5 mL, filter through a 0.45 μm microporous membrane to obtain test solution B.
[0050] Method (3): Weigh 1g of Dendrobium nobile powder into a ground glass flask, moisten with an appropriate amount of 10% ammonia, add 50mL of methanol, seal and let stand for 30min, reflux in a water bath at 85℃ for 4h, filter while hot, evaporate the filtrate to dryness at 65℃, dissolve with 5mL of methanol and make up to volume, filter with a 0.45μm microporous membrane to obtain test solution C.
[0051] 2. Chromatographic conditions were set as follows: Agilent ZORBAX SB-C18 column (250×4.6mm, 5μm); mobile phase: acetonitrile (A)-0.2% formic acid (B); gradient elution (0–10 min, 5%–10% A; 10–35 min, 10%–20% A; 35–55 min, 20%–28% A; 55–60 min, 28%–80% A; 60–75 min, 80%–85% A). Detection wavelength: 270 nm; flow rate: 0.6 mL / min; column temperature: 30℃; injection volume: 10 μL.
[0052] 3. Conduct a methodological review.
[0053] 3.1 Precision test: Accurately weigh the same sample powder, prepare the test solution according to step 1 (1), and detect it according to the chromatographic conditions in step 2. Repeat the injection 6 times, with 10 μL injected each time, and record the chromatogram. Using peak 7 as the reference peak, its retention time and peak area are 1. Calculate that the relative retention time of the common chromatographic peak is ≤1.13%, and the RSD value of the relative peak area is ≤2.19%, indicating that the instrument precision is good.
[0054] 3.2 Stability test: The same sample powder was accurately weighed and the test solution was prepared according to the method (1) in step 1. The chromatographic conditions in step 2 were used for detection. The sample was injected at 0h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 12h and 24h respectively, and the chromatograms were recorded. The chromatographic peak with better peak shape and larger peak area was used as the internal reference peak. The RSD of the relative retention time of the common chromatographic peak was calculated to be ≤1.29%, and the RSD of the relative peak area was ≤2.53%, indicating that the method has good stability within 24h.
[0055] 3.3 Repeatability test: Six portions of the same sample powder were accurately weighed and tested according to the chromatographic conditions in step 1 (1). Chromatographic peaks with better peak shape and larger peak area were used as internal reference peaks. The RSD of the relative retention time of the common chromatographic peaks was calculated to be ≤1.27 and the RSD of the relative peak area was ≤1.99%, indicating that the method has good repeatability.
[0056] 4. Fingerprint chromatogram determination: 10 μL of each group of test solutions from step 1 is injected into the high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC), and the determination is performed under the chromatographic conditions of step 2. The chromatograms are recorded. The chromatograms of methods (1) to (3) are shown below. Figure 2 As shown in S1 to S3. Figure 2 The baseline of the chromatogram obtained by using the test solution obtained by method (1) is stable, and there are many chromatographic peaks with high peak height and large peak area. Therefore, method (1) is selected for subsequent experiments.
[0057] Example 2: The effect of different chromatographic detection conditions on the results
[0058] 1. Effect of sample loading volume. The test solution was obtained according to step 1 of Example 1, method (1), and the chromatographic conditions were set according to step 2 of Example 1, wherein the sample loading volume was set to 2 μL and 10 μL, respectively, with other conditions remaining unchanged. The chromatograms obtained at 2 μL and 10 μL are shown below. Figure 3 As shown in S1 and S2.
[0059] The results showed that using a 10 μL sample loading volume resulted in more chromatographic peaks in the chromatogram, which was the preferred condition.
[0060] 2. Effect of HPLC Detection Wavelength. The test solution was obtained according to step 1 (1) of Example 1, and the chromatographic conditions were set according to step 2 of Example 1, wherein the detection wavelengths were set to 220 nm, 270 nm, and 330 nm, respectively, while other conditions remained unchanged. The chromatograms obtained at 220 nm, 270 nm, and 330 nm are shown below. Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 6.
[0061] The results showed that more chromatographic peaks appeared at 270 nm, the main chromatographic peaks could be separated and the peak shapes were better, which is a more preferred condition.
[0062] 3. Effect of elution mobile phase. The test solution was obtained according to step 1 of Example 1, method (1), and the chromatographic conditions were set according to step 2 of Example 1, wherein the mobile phases were set as follows: methanol (A)-water (B), acetonitrile (A)-water (B), acetonitrile (A)-0.2% formic acid (B), and acetonitrile (A)-0.2% glacial acetic acid (B); other conditions remained unchanged; the chromatograms obtained for each group are shown below. Figures 7-10 As shown.
[0063] The results showed that using acetonitrile (A)-0.2% formic acid (B) as the mobile phase resulted in a more stable baseline and better resolution in the chromatograms, making it a more preferred condition.
[0064] 4. Effect of elution program. The test solution was obtained according to step 1 of Example 1, and the chromatographic conditions were set according to step 2 of Example 1. The elution program was adjusted as follows (repeated twice):
[0065] Elution program 1: 0–5 min, 0%–5% A; 5–10 min, 5%–10% A; 10–20 min, 10%–60% A; 20–30 min, 60%–80% A; 30–40 min, 80%–100% A. The resulting fingerprint chromatogram is as follows: Figure 11 As shown.
[0066] Elution program 2: 0–5 min, 0%–1% A; 5–15 min, 1%–10% A; 15–55 min, 10%–30% A; 55–65 min, 30%–35% A; 65–75 min, 35%–60% A; 75–85 min, 60%–80% A. The resulting fingerprint chromatogram is as follows: Figure 12 As shown.
[0067] Elution program 3: 0–10 min, 5%–10% A; 10–35 min, 10%–20% A; 35–55 min, 20%–28% A; 55–60 min, 28%–80% A; 60–75 min, 80%–85% A. The resulting fingerprint chromatogram is as follows: Figure 13 As shown.
[0068] In the above elution procedures, 0%-5%A means that mobile phase A accounts for 0%-5% of the total mobile phase volume, and the remainder is mobile phase B, and so on.
[0069] The results showed that the chromatogram obtained by elution program 3 had a stable baseline, a shorter total detection time, was able to separate the main chromatographic peaks with better peak shapes, and had high detection efficiency, making it a better condition.
[0070] Example 3: Repeatability demonstration of optimized fingerprint pattern construction conditions and construction of standard fingerprint patterns
[0071] Ten batches of Dendrobium nobile were selected, and test solutions were obtained according to step 1 of Example 1. Chromatographic conditions were set according to step 2 of Example 1 to obtain fingerprint spectra. The sources of each batch of Dendrobium nobile are shown in Table 1.

[0074] The chromatograms were imported into the National Pharmacopoeia Commission's "Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Characteristic Chromatograms of Traditional Chinese Medicine (2012 Edition)". The original HPLC fingerprints of the medicinal stems of 10 batches of Dendrobium nobile from Sichuan's traditional producing areas are shown below.

[0077] Based on the fingerprint profiles of the stems of 10 batches of Sichuan-produced Dendrobium nobile medicinal materials, a standard fingerprint profile was developed, such as... Figure 1 As shown, chromatographic peaks with larger peak areas and better resolution were calibrated, and 15 characteristic peaks were identified in the standard fingerprint spectrum.

[0079] Different sources / species of Dendrobium were selected, and test solutions were obtained according to step 1 (1) of Example 1. Chromatographic conditions were set according to step 2 of Example 1 to obtain fingerprint spectra. The sources of each batch of Dendrobium and their corresponding fingerprint spectra are shown in Table 3.
