Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine analysis and detection, more particularly to a method for establishing a gynecological menstruation regulating tablet fingerprint by using high performance liquid chromatography technology and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The gynecological menstruation regulating tablet is developed from a traditional Chinese medicine prescription and is made of ten kinds of medicines, including Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Angelica sinensis, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Rhizoma Corydalis (vinegar processed), Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Rhizoma Cyperi (vinegar processed), Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae (fermented with wheat bran), Fructus Jujubae and Radix Glycyrrhizae, and has the effects of nourishing blood and soothing liver, regulating qi and menstruation, and is commonly used for irregular menstruation, irregular menstruation, and abdominal pain during menstruation caused by liver stagnation and blood deficiency.

[0003] At present, the current quality standard of the gynecological menstruation regulating tablet is the first part of Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 edition, and the preparation method thereof is mentioned as follows: “fry Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, vinegar processed Rhizoma Corydalis, Angelica sinensis and Ligusticum chuanxiong into fine powder, sieve; the rest of vinegar processed Rhizoma Cyperi and the like are added with water and decocted twice, 3 hours for the first time and 2 hours for the second time, filter, combine the filtrates, concentrate to thick paste, add the fine powder of fried Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae and the like and appropriate amount of excipients, mix uniformly, dry at 60℃ or below, press into 1000 tablets, coat with sugar or film, and obtain the product.” It can be seen that the gynecological menstruation regulating tablet is prepared by mixing the fine powder of fried Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, vinegar processed Rhizoma Corydalis, Angelica sinensis and Ligusticum chuanxiong, and the extract of vinegar processed Rhizoma Cyperi and the like and excipients.

[0004] It is also pointed out in the first part of Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 edition that, in addition to the content determination of ferulic acid in Angelica sinensis and Ligusticum chuanxiong and paeoniflorin in Radix Paeoniae Alba and Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Rhizoma Corydalis, Angelica sinensis, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae and Radix Glycyrrhizae are also subjected to thin layer identification, which can better control the quality of the gynecological menstruation regulating tablet, but cannot comprehensively control the quality status and batch consistency, and cannot control the intermediate of the gynecological menstruation regulating tablet, i.e. the quality status of the fine powder of fried Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, vinegar processed Rhizoma Corydalis, Angelica sinensis and Ligusticum chuanxiong. Compared with single component or even multiple component qualitative and quantitative determination, traditional Chinese medicine fingerprint has obvious advantages, especially for traditional Chinese medicine compound preparations with multiple medicines, complex components and unclear material basis, which can realize comprehensive evaluation of the internal quality of traditional Chinese medicine and effective control of the whole material, and is one of the effective means for the quality control of traditional Chinese medicine at present.

[0005] However, there is no report on the method for establishing the fingerprint of Gynecological Tiaojing Tablets and the quality detection method for the mixed fine powder of Angelica sinensis, Bupleurum chinense, and Rhizoma Corydalis and Rhizoma Chuanxiong in Gynecological Tiaojing Tablets. Chinese Patent: CN106018576A discloses a method for establishing the UPLC fingerprint of Gynecological Zaizao Pills. Although some of the medicinal ingredients contained in Gynecological Zaizao Pills are the same as those in Gynecological Tiaojing Tablets, the patent does not provide the attribution of each chromatographic peak to a medicinal ingredient, nor does it identify the chemical components of each chromatographic peak. Therefore, it cannot be applied to the quality analysis of Gynecological Tiaojing Tablets. Similarly, although the method for establishing the UPLC fingerprint of Dingkundan, which contains Angelica sinensis, Bupleurum chinense, Rhizoma Corydalis, and Rhizoma Chuanxiong, is disclosed in the prior art, the attribution of each chromatographic peak to a medicinal ingredient is not provided (Wang Nan. Research on Potential Quality Markers of Dingkundan [D]. Shanxi University [2024-03-15]). Different drug combinations and preparation processes can cause the same medicinal ingredient to exhibit different characteristics on the chromatographic fingerprint. Therefore, independent fingerprint establishment and medicinal ingredient attribution analysis are still needed for the study of Gynecological Tiaojing Tablets to accurately understand the chemical components and their effects in the drug and provide strong support for the quality control of the drug.

[0006] In order to comprehensively control the quality status and batch consistency, and grasp the quality status of the intermediates of Gynecological Tiaojing Tablets, i.e., the mixed fine powder of Angelica sinensis, Bupleurum chinense, Rhizoma Corydalis, and Rhizoma Chuanxiong, it is urgent to establish the fingerprint of Gynecological Tiaojing Tablets and the quality detection method for the mixed fine powder of Angelica sinensis, Bupleurum chinense, Rhizoma Corydalis, and Rhizoma Chuanxiong and the finished product of Gynecological Tiaojing Tablets.

[0230] The four-ingredient mixed powder of gynaecological menstrual regulation tablets is composed of Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum chuanxiong, coicis rhizoma prepared with wheat bran, and rhizoma Corydalis, all of which are single base original medicine ingredients. Five batches of four-ingredient mixed powder samples are obtained according to the combinations in Table 9.

[0231] Table 9 Sample combination information table

[0232]

[0233] (2) Marking of common peaks

[0234] The method of Example 6 was used to determine the four-medicinal-ingredient mixed fine powder samples of the five batches of gynecological menstruation-regulating tablets obtained in this example "(1) Multi-batch sample preparation", and the obtained fingerprint spectra were analyzed. The chromatographic peaks with better stability and suitable response values in the fingerprint spectra of the five samples were selected as common peaks. A total of 12 common peaks were labeled, which were the fingerprint peaks in Example 5. The source medicinal ingredients and peak numbers are shown in Table 7.

[0235] The fingerprint spectra of the five samples are shown in Figure 12 , Figure 12 In Table 8, S1 is the fingerprint spectrum of the sample with batch number M; S2 is the fingerprint spectrum of the sample with batch number M'; S3 is the fingerprint spectrum of the sample with batch number XS20231020-1; S4 is the fingerprint spectrum of the sample with batch number XS20231020-2; S5 is the fingerprint spectrum of the sample with batch number XS20231020-3; and R is the control fingerprint spectrum automatically matched by "Traditional Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System (2012 Edition)" based on S1-S5.

[0236] The results show that the five sample test samples present 12 common characteristic peaks in the fingerprint spectra, among which the peak corresponding to the angelica lactone I reference is the S peak. The relative retention times of each characteristic peak and the S peak were calculated, and the average values of the relative retention times of each characteristic peak were as follows: peak 1, 0.27; peak 2, 0.32; peak 3, 0.61; S peak (peak 4), 1.00; peak 5, 1.29; peak 6, 1.48; peak 7, 1.68; peak 8, 1.81; peak 9, 1.84; peak 10, 1.89; peak 11, 1.92; and peak 12, 1.95.

[0237] (3) Establishment of control fingerprint spectrum

[0238] Using the method of "Traditional Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System (2012 Edition)", S1 in this example "(2) Labeling of common peaks" was used as the reference spectrum, the time window width was 0.1 min, the median method and full-spectrum peak automatic matching spectrum were used, and the control fingerprint spectrum was generated. The control fingerprint spectrum is shown in Figure 13 , Figure 13 In Table 8, the 12 common peaks are the fingerprint peaks in Example 5, so according to Figure 10 、 Figure 13 and Table 8, it can be seen that Figure 13 In Table 8, peak 1 is the chlorogenic acid chromatographic peak; peak 3 is the ferulic acid chromatographic peak; peak 4 (S peak) is the angelica lactone I chromatographic peak; peak 10 is the ligusticum lactone chromatographic peak; and peak 11 is the butenyl phthalide chromatographic peak.

[0239] (4) Similarity calculation

[0240] The similarity of the fingerprint chromatograms of the five batches of four-ingredient mixed fine powder samples prepared in "(1) Preparation of multiple batches of samples" to the reference fingerprint chromatogram was calculated using the method of "Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine (2012 Edition)", and the results are shown in Table 10. In Table 10, R is the number of the reference fingerprint chromatogram; S1 is the number of the fingerprint chromatogram of the sample with batch number M; S2 is the number of the fingerprint chromatogram of the sample with batch number M'; S3 is the number of the fingerprint chromatogram of the sample with batch number XS20231020-1; S4 is the number of the fingerprint chromatogram of the sample with batch number XS20231020-2; and S5 is the number of the fingerprint chromatogram of the sample with batch number XS20231020-3.

[0241] Table 10 Similarity results of the fingerprint chromatograms of the four-ingredient mixed fine powder in five batches of Gynecological Menstrual Regulation Tablets

[0242]

[0243] According to the results in Table 10, the similarity of the fingerprint chromatograms of the five batches of four-ingredient mixed fine powder samples prepared in "(1) Preparation of multiple batches of samples" to the reference fingerprint chromatogram is greater than 0.95, i.e., the similarity of the samples between different batches is good.

[0244] Therefore, it is tentatively determined that the test sample fingerprint chromatogram should exhibit chromatographic peaks consistent with the retention times of the reference material chromatographic peaks, and should exhibit 12 common peaks (i.e., fingerprint peaks), and the similarity calculated using the common peaks according to the method of "Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine (2012 Edition)" should be no less than 0.90, then the test sample can be determined as a qualified sample.

Figure 14 Figure 14 It can be seen from Table 6 that the blank solvent does not interfere with the fingerprint peaks of the test solution; the test solution has no effective chromatographic peaks after 75 minutes, basically satisfying the principle of maximizing the amount of effective information. It is shown that the specificity and integrity of the fingerprint spectrum determination method described in Example 6 meet the requirements.

The sample numbers were recorded as precision 1 (S2), precision 2 (S3), precision 3 (S4), precision 4 (S5) and precision 5 (S6), respectively. The chromatograms were recorded. The peaks corresponding to the reference peaks were S peaks, and the relative retention times of 12 fingerprint peaks were calculated. The method of Traditional Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System (2012 version) was used to automatically match the repeatability HPLC chromatogram peaks to form a common mode diagram, and a control chromatogram R was established to calculate the similarity.
