Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical testing technology, specifically to a method for constructing and applying the fingerprint spectrum of Shentong Zhuyu Decoction. Background Technology
[0002] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0003] Shen Tong Zhu Yu Tang (Body Pain Relief Decoction) is a classic Chinese medicine formula composed of 12 herbs: Gentiana macrophylla, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Prunus persica, Carthamus tinctorius, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Notopterygium incisum, Commiphora myrrha, Angelica sinensis, Trogopterus xanthipes, Cyperus rotundus, Achyranthes bidentata, and Pheretima aspergillum. Its functions are to invigorate blood circulation, promote qi circulation, resolve phlegm, unblock meridians, and relieve pain. It is mainly used for syndromes of blood stasis obstructing meridians, such as shoulder pain, arm pain, back pain, leg pain, or general body pain, sharp, stabbing pain that is persistent, accompanied by a dark tongue or ecchymosis, and a choppy pulse. According to the inventor's research, although there are currently detection methods for the characteristic chromatograms of Shen Tong Zhu Yu Tang, liquid chromatography detection takes more than 3 hours and cannot fully represent all 12 herbs, making it difficult to effectively control its intrinsic quality during production. Furthermore, even with shorter detection times, the peak shapes of the constructed characteristic chromatograms of Shen Tong Zhu Yu Tang are poor, and the separation of each peak is insufficient, making it impossible to simultaneously detect the content of various active ingredients in Shen Tong Zhu Yu Tang, thus hindering precise quality control. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for constructing and applying a fingerprint spectrum of Shentong Zhuyu Decoction. The fingerprint spectrum constructed by this invention contains common peaks of loganic acid, amygdalin, hydroxysafflower yellow A, ferulic acid, notopterygium alcohol, isoimperatorin, ammonium glycyrrhizate, and kaempferol, which can better detect the 12 medicinal materials in Shentong Zhuyu Decoction, shorten the detection time, and simultaneously detect the content of the above 8 components, thereby improving the quality control level of the product.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0006] The first aspect of this invention provides a method for constructing the fingerprint spectrum of Shentong Zhuyu Decoction, comprising the following steps:
[0007] The test solution and the reference solution were taken separately and determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Common peaks containing the characteristic peaks of loganic acid, amygdalin, hydroxysafflower yellow A, ferulic acid, notopterygol, isoimperatorin, glycyrrhizic acid ammonium, and kaempferol were obtained, and a fingerprint spectrum of Shentong Zhuyu Decoction was established.
[0008] The detection conditions for the high-performance liquid chromatography method include:
[0009] Mobile phase A is acetonitrile, and mobile phase B is a 0.03–0.08 mol / L potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer solution with pH = 3.0–4.0. Gradient elution is used, and the detection wavelength is 200–250 nm.
[0010] The inventors discovered that current methods for detecting the characteristic chromatograms of Shentong Zhuyu Decoction mostly use acetonitrile and phosphoric acid aqueous solution as the mobile phase. While these methods can successfully establish characteristic chromatograms for Shentong Zhuyu Decoction, the peak shapes are poor and the separation between peaks is insufficient. This prevents the simultaneous detection of the content of various components in Shentong Zhuyu Decoction, requiring different elution procedures to detect the content of each component. To address this, the inventors conducted extensive research and discovered that using acetonitrile and potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer solution as the mobile phase, and increasing the proportion of the organic phase from 5% to 68%, allows most components of Shentong Zhuyu Decoction to be displayed in the chromatogram. This enables comprehensive detection of the 12 medicinal herbs in Shentong Zhuyu Decoction and allows for multiple evaluations in one measurement, simultaneously detecting the content of eight components in Shentong Zhuyu Decoction: loganic acid, amygdalin, hydroxysaffron yellow A, ferulic acid, notopterygium alcohol, isoimperatorin, ammonium glycyrrhizate, and kaempferol. The method of this invention simultaneously detects 12 medicinal materials in Shentong Zhuyu Decoction from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives, and the detection results are accurate, thereby improving the quality control level of Shentong Zhuyu Decoction products.
[0011] This invention selects 200-250 nm as the detection wavelength for the fingerprint spectrum of Shentong Zhuyu Decoction. This wavelength is rich in chemical composition information, and 27 common peaks can be obtained. The positions of loganic acid, amygdalin, hydroxysafflower yellow A, ferulic acid, notopterygium alcohol, isoimperatorin, ammonium glycyrrhizate, and kaempferol are identified by reference standards.
[0012] In some embodiments of the present invention, the method for preparing the test solution includes the following steps:
[0013] Methanol was added to the Shen Tong Zhu Yu Decoction to be tested, the volume was adjusted, and the mixture was sonicated, cooled, and the weight loss was replenished with methanol. The mixture was then shaken well and filtered through a membrane to obtain the test solution. Sonication helps to evenly disperse the Shen Tong Zhu Yu Decoction in the methanol; however, the increased temperature during sonication causes methanol to evaporate and its concentration to rise, leading to higher errors. Therefore, adding methanol after cooling reduces the impact of methanol evaporation and minimizes measurement errors. Furthermore, the sonication time is 20–40 minutes.
[0014] Preferably, the concentration of Shentong Zhuyu Decoction in the test solution is 48-52% by volume.
[0015] In some embodiments of the present invention, the method for preparing the reference solution includes the following steps:
[0016] Loganic acid, amygdalin, hydroxysafflower yellow A, ferulic acid, gentianol, isoimperatorin, ammonium glycyrrhizate, and kaempferol were dissolved in solvents to prepare reference solutions.
[0017] Preferably, the solvent is methanol. Methanol has better solubility for loganic acid, amygdalin, hydroxysaffron yellow A, ferulic acid, citronellol, isoimperatorin, ammonium glycyrrhizate, and kaempferol, which facilitates the dispersion of each compound, improves the detector's detection efficiency, and enhances detection stability. Furthermore, using the same solvent for the test solution and the reference solution reduces matrix effects and improves the accuracy of the fingerprint spectrum.
[0018] Preferably, the concentrations of loganic acid, amygdalin, hydroxysaffron yellow A, ferulic acid, gentianol, isoimperatorin, ammonium glycyrrhizate, and kaempferol in the reference solution are all 0.08–0.12 mg / mL.

[0046] 85–12 5 min, 50%–68% mobile phase A, balance mobile phase B;

[0115] Example 10
[0116] Best implementation method:
[0117] Precisely aspirate 10 μL each of the test sample and reference solution, and inject them into a high-performance liquid chromatograph for detection.
[0118] Chromatographic conditions: Chromatographic column: Agilent XDB-C18 (250 * 4.6 mm, 5 μm), mobile phase: acetonitrile (A) - 0.05 mol / L potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer solution (pH = 3.5) (B), gradient elution sequence: 0 - 14 min, 5% - 11% A, flow rate 0.8 mL / min; 14 - 26 min, 11% A, flow rate 0.8 mL / min; 26 - 42 min, 11% - 18% A, flow rate 0.8 mL / min; 42 - 47 min, 18% A, flow rate 0.8 mL / min; 47 - 66 min, 18% - 26% A, flow rate 0.8 - 1.0 mL / min; 66 - 85 min, 26% - 50% A, flow rate 1.0 mL / min; 85 - 125 min, 50% - 68% A, flow rate 1.0 mL / min; column temperature 30 °C, injection volume 10 μL, detection wavelength 220 nm.
[0119] The test results are as Figure 6 shown. Using 0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution is not as good as using 0.05 mol / L potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer solution. The latter gives a better peak shape in the chromatogram because the potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer solution has the functions of salt balance and can control the pH of the system. Therefore, under this system, the resolution of each peak has better separation and improvement.

[0121] Establishment of the fingerprint of Shentong Zhuyu Decoction:
[0122] Calibration of common peaks: Ten batches of samples (S1 - S10) of Shentong Zhuyu Decoction with batch numbers 231101, 231102, 231103, 231201, 231202, 231301, 231302, 231303, 231401, and 231402 were determined according to the chromatographic conditions of Example 10.

Set the S1 sample with more chemical composition information as the reference chromatogram. As Figure 6 shown, 27 common peaks were calibrated. The 13th peak with a large peak area and good resolution was used as the reference peak S, and the relative retention times of other common peaks and peak S were calculated, as shown in Table 1.
