Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of quality control of Chinese patent medicine compound preparations, and in particular to a quality detection method for a reference sample of Banxia Xiexin granules. Background Art
[0002] Modern drugs must possess three key characteristics: stability, uniformity, safety, and efficacy. For compound preparations of traditional Chinese medicines, multiple testing methods are required to ensure the reliability and stability of test results. Banxia Xiexin Decoction, originating from the Treatise on Febrile Diseases in Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases in the Eastern Han Dynasty, is a classic decoction widely used in clinical practice. The original recipe states: "Fullness without pain is considered a lump in the abdomen. Bupleurum is inappropriate for this condition; Banxia Xiexin Decoction is appropriate. Half a liter of washed Banxia; 3 liang each of Scutellaria baicalensis, dried ginger, ginseng, and roasted Licorice root; 1 liang of Coptis chinensis; 12 split jujubes. Add these seven ingredients to 1 dou of water and boil until 6 liters are obtained. Remove the residue and boil again until 3 liters are obtained. Take 1 liter warm three times a day." The main ingredient is Banxia, which dissipates lumps and eliminates lump in the abdomen. The auxiliary ingredients are dried ginger, which warms the middle and dispels cold, while Coptis chinensis and Scutellaria baicalensis have bitter and cold properties that dissipate heat. Ginseng and jujube are supplementary ingredients to replenish deficiency and invigorate Qi. Licorice root strengthens the spleen and harmonizes the middle, which will naturally dissipate the lump and resolve all symptoms. Banxia Xiexin Decoction mainly contains flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, and glycoside compounds. The compound preparation of Chinese patent medicine is composed of multiple Chinese medicinal materials. The multiple components work synergistically and have multiple targets. It is made by using modern scientific technology and imitating the traditional Chinese medicine decoction decoction method. It is refined through extraction, concentration, drying and other processes. It has the advantages of no need for decoction, easy to take, fast absorption, accurate dosage, safe and clean, and easy to carry. Compared with traditional medicinal raw materials, the morphological characteristics of Banxia Xiexin Granules have changed significantly. The authenticity and quality of the product cannot be observed with the naked eye. The existing technology does not have a detection method that can accurately reflect the overall intrinsic quality of Banxia Xiexin Granules, and it cannot meet the quality control requirements of Chinese patent medicine compound preparations. Therefore, it is very necessary to establish a Banxia Xiexin Granule benchmark sample quality detection method for quality control that can reflect the overall basic material situation of the classic prescription.

[0047] Clean Pinellia: Take clean Pinellia, separate the large and small ones, and soak them in 8% alum solution until there is no dry core left and a slight numbness on the tongue. Remove, wash, cut into thick slices, and dry. For every 100kg of clean Pinellia, use 12.5kg of alum for boiling and 20kg for soaking.

[0049] Dried ginger: remove impurities, soak briefly, wash, moisten thoroughly, cut into thick slices or blocks, and dry.
[0050] Ginseng: moisten thoroughly, slice thinly, and dry
[0051] Stir-fry licorice: remove impurities, wash, soak, cut into thick slices, dry and sieve the medicine; take the licorice slices and stir-fry until slightly yellow, then take out and let cool.
[0052] Coptis chinensis: remove impurities, soak thoroughly, cut into thin slices, and dry.
[0053] Jujube: Remove impurities, wash, and dry in the sun. Crack or remove the core before use.
[0054] 1.3 Decoction process of the reference sample of Banxia Xiexin Granules
[0055] Prescription: Pinellia 34.5g, Scutellaria baicalensis 41.4g, Dried ginger 41.4g, Ginseng 41.4g, Fried licorice 41.4g, Coptis chinensis 13.8g, Jujube 36.0g.
[0056] The preparation method of the benchmark sample is as follows: according to the prescription ratio, 34.50g of Pinellia ternata, 41.40g of Scutellaria baicalensis, 41.40g of dried ginger, 41.40g of ginseng, 41.40g of stir-fried licorice, 13.80g of Coptis chinensis, and 36.00g of jujube were weighed, totaling 249.90g, placed in a ceramic jar, added with 2000ml of water, and soaked for 30min. First, heated to boiling with high heat (800w), and then decocted with low heat (500w) for 55min. The decoction was about 1200ml. The solid-liquid separation was carried out while hot (filtered with a 150-mesh pharmacopoeia sieve), and the decoction was concentrated under reduced pressure at 60℃ to 600ml. The concentrate was freeze-dried in a freeze dryer and freeze-dried for 48h. The freeze-dried powder was collected, weighed, and the yield was calculated. The freeze-dried powder was packaged with a pharmaceutical composite film and sealed for storage, thus obtaining 15 batches of benchmark samples.
[0057] Properties: This product is a light yellow to brown powder with a slight fragrance and a sweet taste followed by a bitter aftertaste.
[0058] 1.4 Investigation of the paste yield of benchmark samples
[0059] Decoction was performed according to the process in 1.3 above and the paste yield of the benchmark sample was calculated. The relevant information is shown in Table 1.
[0060] Table 1: Test data of paste yield of 15 batches of benchmark samples
[0061]
[0062] Method for determining the dry extract yield: Accurately measure 25 ml of a known volume of prepared medicinal solution and place it in an evaporating dish at a constant weight. Evaporate to dryness in a waterbath, dry at 105°C for 3 hours, cool in a desiccator for 30 minutes, quickly weigh, and continue drying in a 105°C oven until constant weight is reached. Calculate: Extract yield = (weight of dried extract and evaporating dish - weight of evaporating dish) × (volume of filtrate at constant volume / volume of aspirated filtrate) / weight of the medicinal piece × 100%.
[0063] The average yield of 15 batches of Banxia Xiexin Granule benchmark samples was 23.49%, with a standard deviation of 1.17 and a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 4.98%. Based on relevant technical guidelines, the yield range was established as 90% to 110% of the mean, resulting in a yield range of 21.1% to 25.8%. These results indicate that the yield of all 15 benchmark samples fell within this range, providing a reference for quality control studies of Banxia Xiexin Granules. Taking all these factors into consideration, the yield range was established as 21.1% to 25.8%.

[0075] 2.3 Characteristic spectrum test method of the reference sample of Banxia Xiexin Granules
[0076] Banxia Xiexin Decoction primarily contains flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, and glycosides. Traditional Chinese medicine compound preparations are composed of multiple Chinese medicinal materials, with multiple components acting synergistically and targeting multiple targets. Characteristic chromatograms combined with multi-index component content determination can reflect the overall basic substance content of classic prescriptions. Using a constructed HPLC characteristic chromatogram method for Banxia Xiexin Decoction, the mass fractions of four components—6-gingerol, baicalin, glycyrrhizic acid, and berberine hydrochloride—were simultaneously determined. This method provides a basis for the development and production of reference samples and granule preparations for the classic Banxia Xiexin Decoction.
[0077] The characteristic spectrum was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (General Chapter 0512 of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 Edition).
[0078] 2.3.1 Determination of chromatographic conditions
[0079] (1) Selection of organic phase: Two organic phases, methanol and acetonitrile, were investigated in the experiment. When the organic phase in the mobile phase was methanol, the separation was better, so methanol was selected as the organic phase.
[0080] (2) Investigation of aqueous phase: The experiment investigated three different aqueous phases: 0.1% formic acid water, 0.1% acetic acid water and 0.1% phosphoric acid water. The results showed that the peak shape of 0.1% acetic acid water was poor, and the fingerprint spectra of 0.1% formic acid water and 0.1% phosphoric acid water were slightly different. Considering that phosphoric acid is an inorganic acid and has poor solubility with organic acids, 0.1% formic acid water was selected as the aqueous phase.
[0081] (3) Selection of extraction solvent: The experiment investigated five extraction solvents, including methanol, 50% methanol, pure water, 50% ethanol and ethanol. It was found that the extraction efficiency of methanol and ethanol was low and the chromatographic peaks were fewer. When the solvent was 50% methanol, the peak area was larger, so 50% ethanol was selected as the extraction solvent.
[0082] (4) Selection of extraction method: The experiment investigated two extraction methods: reflux and ultrasonic. The results showed that the peak areas of different extraction methods at a retention time of 36 min were 38287525 and 25550772 respectively. Reflux extraction efficiency was better, and the peak shape of reflux was better than that of ultrasonic. Therefore, reflux was selected as the extraction method.
[0083] (5) Selection of extraction time: The experiment examined reflux times of 30 min, 60 min, and 120 min. The results showed that the extraction time had little effect on the peak shape, separation, and peak area, so 30 min was finally selected as the extraction time.
[0084] (6) Optimization of separation conditions
[0085] Chromatographic column: InertSustain C18 (5μm, 4.6×250mm); mobile phase: methanol-0.1% formic acid water; volume flow rate: 1.0ml / min; column temperature, 30°C; wavelength: 254nm (glycyrrhizic acid), 280nm (berberine hydrochloride, baicalin, 6-gingerol); injection volume, 5μl, optimized chromatographic gradient conditions, the results showed that under the separation gradient 5, the separation degree of the index component peak was better, so gradient 5 was selected as the separation gradient.

[0170]
[0171] The experimental results indicate that a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for detecting the characteristic spectrum of this product has been established. Methodological validation has demonstrated excellent repeatability, precision, and stability. This method was also used to determine the characteristic spectrum peaks (11 characteristic peaks) in a reference sample of Banxia Xiexin Granules. The characteristic spectrum of 15 batches of samples was analyzed and evaluated using the "Traditional Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System (2004 Edition)" to determine the reference sample characteristic spectrum. The test sample chromatogram should exhibit 11 characteristic peaks, four of which should correspond to the retention times of the corresponding reference peaks. The peak corresponding to the baicalin reference peak is the S peak. Calculate the relative retention time of each characteristic peak and S peak. The relative retention time should be within ±10% of the specified value, 0.54 (peak 1), 0.60 (peak 2), 0.72 (peak 3), 0.75 (peak 4), 1.10 (peak 6), 1.14 (peak 7), 1.15 (peak 8), 1.19 (peak 9), 1.34 (peak 10), 1.48 (peak 11).
[0172] The average berberine content of 15 batches of benchmark samples was 2.66 mg / g, with a range of ±30% of the mean of 1.86 to 3.46 mg / g. The actual content range was 2.28 to 3.29 mg / g, all within the range of ±30% of the mean, meeting the standard requirements.
[0173] The average baicalin content of 15 batches of benchmark samples was 54.04 mg / g, with a range of ±30% of the mean of 37.83 to 70.26 mg / g. The actual content range was 41.08 to 65.84 mg / g, all within the range of ±30% of the mean, meeting the standard requirements.
[0174] The average 6-gingerol content of 15 batches of benchmark samples was 0.37 mg / g, with a mean ± 30% range of 0.26 to 0.49 mg / g. The actual content range was 0.15 to 0.53 mg / g.
[0175] The average glycyrrhizic acid content of 15 batches of benchmark samples was 5.59 mg / g, with a range of ±30% of the mean of 3.91 to 7.27 mg / g. The actual content range was 4.34 to 7.05 mg / g, all within the range of ±30% of the mean, meeting the standard requirements.
[0176] The final benchmark sample content was determined to be 1.86-3.46 mg / g for berberine, 37.83-70.26 mg / g for baicalin, 0.26-0.49 mg / g for 6-gingerol, and 3.91-7.27 mg / g for glycyrrhizic acid. Because 6-gingerol is relatively discrete and falls outside the ±30% range of the mean, it is not included in the quality standard.
