Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of drug detection, and in particular to a method for determining the content of paeoniflorin in Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction granules. Background Art

[0002] Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction comes from Zhang Zhongjing's "Golden Chamber" in the Han Dynasty. The original prescription is: 3 liang of Huangqi, 3 liang of Shaoyao, 3 liang of Guizhi, 6 liang of ginger, and 12 jujubes. The above five flavors are boiled with 6 liters of water to obtain 2 liters, and 7 he of warm water is taken three times a day. The effect of this prescription is to invigorate qi and warm the meridians, harmonize blood and relieve arthralgia. It is mainly used to treat blood arthralgia syndrome, with symptoms such as numbness of the skin, slight aversion to wind and cold, pale tongue with white fur, and slightly astringent and tight pulse. Huangqi in the prescription is sweet and warm and invigorates qi as the main medicine. Guizhi dispels wind and cold and warms the meridians and relieves arthralgia, while white peony nourishes blood and nourishes the skin to relieve blood arthralgia. Both are assistant medicines. Ginger is pungent and warm, dispersing wind evil; jujube is sweet and warm, invigorating qi and nourishing blood, and both are used as adjuvants. Paeoniflorin is one of the active ingredients in Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Granules, which has pharmacological effects such as anti-allergy and sedation. By measuring its content, the efficacy of the drug can be indirectly evaluated. Ensure that the content of paeoniflorin in the drug reaches an effective therapeutic concentration, thereby ensuring the therapeutic effect of the drug. The process route of this party is to sample aromatic water and directly include cyclodextrin. The inclusion compound is not blended before the traditional drying preparation, but is directly blended into the concentrated solution for drying after the inclusion is completed, which reduces the process links, improves efficiency, and retains volatile oily active ingredients better. The existing method for determining the content of paeoniflorin may not be able to accurately distinguish paeoniflorin from other compounds with similar structures, resulting in interference with the measurement results. During the measurement process, due to the influence of various factors, the content of paeoniflorin may change, resulting in unstable measurement results. Therefore, the present invention proposes a method for determining the content of paeoniflorin in Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction Granules, which can effectively solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0168] Example 9: Separation and quantitative analysis of chromatographic peaks by multi-wavelength signal deconvolution algorithm is achieved in the following manner:

[0169] (1) The wavelength of the chromatogram is scanned by a diode array detector at a sampling interval of 0.001 min to collect a signal data matrix in the range of 200-400 nm. The signal data of the main wavelengths of 230 nm, 280 nm, and 290 nm are separated and extracted from the data matrix to obtain a three-dimensional raw data sequence;

[0170] (2) A 9-point sliding average calculation is performed based on the signal data with a main wavelength of 230 nm in the three-dimensional original data sequence, and the signal intensity of the four points before and after each data point is weighted averaged to obtain the main peak baseline characteristic value sequence;

[0171] (3) A three-dimensional peak shape characteristic model was established by correlating the main peak baseline characteristic value sequence with the auxiliary wavelength data of 280 nm and 290 nm, and the co-elution region signal was deconvoluted and separated to obtain the peak area data of each component;

[0172] (4) According to the peak area data of each component, the content of each component is calculated according to the external standard method, using the reference solution as the external standard to obtain the content determination result.

[0173] Specifically, the signal is collected by a diode array detector, which is a photoelectric conversion device composed of a plurality of photodiodes arranged and capable of simultaneously collecting spectral signals of multiple wavelengths. When scanning, the sampling interval is set to 0.001 minutes, and this high-frequency sampling can ensure the accurate description of the chromatographic peak shape. In the ultraviolet spectrum range of 200-400nm, peony glycosides and related compounds have characteristic absorption. By collecting the full spectrum of signals in this range, a data matrix containing three dimensions of wavelength, time and absorbance is formed. From the data matrix, the signal data of the three characteristic wavelengths of 230nm, 280nm and 290nm are extracted. 230nm is the maximum absorption wavelength of peony glycosides, and the selection of this wavelength as the main wavelength for quantitative analysis has a high sensitivity; and 280nm and 290nm as auxiliary wavelengths can provide spectral characteristic information of the target compound, which is helpful for the accurate identification and quantification of the target peak in complex samples. The signal data of these three wavelengths constitute a three-dimensional raw data sequence, laying the foundation for subsequent data processing.

[0174] In order to improve the data quality, the signal data of the main wavelength of 230nm was processed by a 9-point sliding average algorithm. The sliding average algorithm is a commonly used data smoothing method that reduces the impact of random noise by weighted averaging continuous data points in the time series. In the specific operation, for each data point, the 4 points before and after it are taken for weighted calculation, and the weight coefficient is in the form of symmetrical distribution, so that the data point closer to the center point has a greater weight. The main peak baseline characteristic value sequence obtained after this treatment has a better peak shape profile, which is conducive to subsequent quantitative analysis. After obtaining the main peak baseline characteristic value sequence, it is associated with the data of the two auxiliary wavelengths of 280nm and 290nm. This step first requires ensuring the precise alignment of the three wavelength data on the time axis, and establishing a pairing relationship between the sampling points at intervals of 0.001 minutes. For each data point in the co-elution area, the response ratio of the three wavelengths is calculated to construct a signal intensity ratio matrix. This matrix reflects the relative response characteristics of different compounds at each wavelength, providing an important basis for peak deconvolution. Subsequently, the co-elution area was segmented into 0.05-minute time windows to analyze the distribution characteristics of the signal in each window. The response range of the target component was determined by observing the change pattern of the signal intensity ratio. Based on this information, a three-dimensional peak shape feature model was established, which comprehensively considered the information of the three dimensions of time, wavelength and signal intensity, and could more accurately describe the contour characteristics of overlapping peaks.

[0175] In the actual sample analysis process, when multiple components are detected to co-elute on the chromatogram, the established three-dimensional peak shape characteristic model is used to perform mathematical deconvolution calculations on the overlapping chromatographic peaks. During the deconvolution process, the overlapping peaks are decomposed into the chromatographic peaks of each individual component according to the response characteristics of each component at different wavelengths, and quantitative integration is performed according to the maximum absorption wavelength of each component to obtain the peak area data of each component. Finally, the external standard method is used for quantitative analysis. The prepared peony glycoside reference solution is used as the external standard. The standard curve is established according to the concentration and peak area of ​​the reference. The actual content of peony glycoside in the sample is calculated by comparing the peak area of ​​the target in the sample solution with the standard curve. In actual operation, when the peony glycoside in Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction Granules is analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography, the collected raw data is subjected to multi-wavelength signal deconvolution processing, which significantly improves the separation and quantitative accuracy. By performing multi-wavelength data acquisition on the co-elution area, a data matrix containing three characteristic wavelengths is established, and the data is subjected to sliding average processing to eliminate baseline noise, and then the overlapping peaks are deconvoluted and separated using the three-dimensional peak shape characteristic model. During the deconvolution process, the target compound paeoniflorin was accurately identified and quantified by analyzing the response ratio characteristics at different wavelengths. The entire data processing process made full use of multidimensional spectral information to achieve accurate determination of the content of paeoniflorin in complex Chinese medicine preparations. Through this method, even when the sample components are complex and the chromatographic peaks overlap, the accurate quantification of paeoniflorin can be achieved, providing a reliable analytical method for the quality control of Chinese medicine preparations. For example: the spectral data in the range of 200-400nm was collected by a diode array detector. A complex overlapping peak region was found on the chromatogram, and a three-dimensional data matrix was constructed by extracting data at three characteristic wavelengths of 230nm, 280nm and 290nm. The data at the main wavelength of 230nm was processed by a 9-point sliding average, which significantly reduced the baseline noise. Subsequently, the retention time range of the target peak was identified by analyzing the change law of the response ratio of the three wavelength data. Using the established three-dimensional peak shape feature model, the overlapping peaks were successfully parsed into individual components, and the content of paeoniflorin in the sample was accurately quantified by comparing the response characteristics with those of the paeoniflorin reference substance.

[0176] Example 10: A three-dimensional peak shape characteristic model is established by correlating the main peak baseline characteristic value sequence with the auxiliary wavelength data of 280 nm and 290 nm, and the co-elution region signal is deconvoluted and separated to obtain the peak area data of each component, including:

[0177] (1) The time axis of the main peak baseline characteristic value sequence was aligned with the auxiliary wavelength data of 280 nm and 290 nm, and a sampling point pairing relationship was established at intervals of 0.001 min to obtain a three-dimensional signal pairing sequence;

[0178] (2) Calculate the response ratio of the three wavelengths at each sampling point based on the three-dimensional signal pairing sequence, establish a signal intensity ratio matrix for each data point in the co-flow area, and obtain a wavelength characteristic distribution map;

[0179] (3) Based on the change law of the signal intensity ratio in the wavelength characteristic distribution diagram, the co-elution area is segmented into 0.05 min time windows, the signal distribution characteristics in each window are calculated, and the target component response interval is obtained;

[0180] (4) Based on the signal distribution of the target component response range, a three-dimensional peak shape mathematical model is established, and the profiles of the overlapping chromatographic peaks are fitted to obtain the peak shape fitting parameters of each component;

[0181] (5) The signal in the co-elution region is mathematically deconvoluted using the peak shape fitting parameters, and the overlapping peaks are quantitatively integrated according to the maximum absorption wavelength of each component to obtain the peak area data of each component.

[0182] Specifically, after collecting the baseline characteristic value sequence of the main wavelength 230nm and the data of the auxiliary wavelengths 280nm and 290nm through the diode array detector, the time axis alignment of the data is first required. Time axis alignment refers to the precise matching of the data points collected at different wavelengths in the time dimension, using 0.001 minutes as the sampling interval to ensure the precise correspondence between the data points. In the process of time axis alignment, a strict one-to-one correspondence is established for the three wavelength data at each time point to form a three-dimensional signal pairing sequence. Based on the established three-dimensional signal pairing sequence, the response ratio of the three wavelengths is calculated for each sampling point. The response ratio refers to the proportional relationship between the detection signal intensity at different wavelengths at the same time point. Two sets of ratio data are obtained by calculation: the ratio of 280nm to 230nm, and the ratio of 290nm to 230nm. These ratio data constitute a signal intensity ratio matrix, which reflects the spectral characteristics of different compounds at each wavelength. By plotting the change curves of these ratios over time, a wavelength characteristic distribution diagram is obtained, which intuitively shows the spectral characteristic differences of each component in the co-elution area. The wavelength characteristic distribution diagram provides important compound identification information. Based on the change law of the signal intensity ratio, the co-elution area is segmented into 0.05-minute time windows. The selection of the time window takes into account the broadening effect of the chromatographic peak and the data acquisition frequency. The 0.05-minute window width can ensure sufficient data points for feature extraction without causing excessive smoothing. In each time window, the signal distribution characteristics of the three wavelengths are calculated, including the mean, standard deviation and ratio change trend of the signal intensity. By analyzing these characteristic parameters, the response range of the target component, that is, the precise retention time range of paeoniflorin and its related compounds on the chromatogram, is determined.

[0183] After obtaining the response interval of the target component, a three-dimensional peak shape mathematical model is established according to the signal distribution characteristics in each interval. The model uses time, wavelength and signal intensity as three dimensions to describe the profile characteristics of overlapping chromatographic peaks through mathematical functions. The model is established using the nonlinear least squares method to perform curve fitting on the measured data points to obtain the peak shape fitting parameters of each component, including characteristic parameters such as peak position, peak height, and peak width.

[0184] Finally, the obtained peak shape fitting parameters were used to perform mathematical deconvolution calculations on the signals in the co-elution area. During the deconvolution process, the overlapping chromatographic peaks were decomposed into independent single-component peaks based on the spectral characteristics of each component at different wavelengths. The peak area of ​​each component peak separated was integrated at its maximum absorption wavelength. Among them, paeoniflorin was quantitatively integrated at 230nm, and the content of paeoniflorin in the sample was finally obtained by comparing the peak area with that of the reference substance.

[0185] For example, chromatogram data from 0 to 30 minutes are collected. When the time axis is aligned, the data points of the three wavelengths are paired at intervals of 0.001 minutes, forming a three-dimensional paired sequence containing 30,000 data points. When calculating the response ratio, it was found that a complex overlapping peak region appeared near the retention time of 12.5 minutes. The signal intensity ratio in this region was observed to change significantly through the wavelength characteristic distribution diagram, indicating that there are multiple co-eluting components. This region was segmented and analyzed according to the time window of 0.05 minutes, and a total of 20 time windows of data were obtained. In each time window, the signal distribution characteristics of the three wavelengths were analyzed, and the response interval of paeoniflorin was accurately determined to be 12.3-12.7 minutes in combination with the spectral characteristics of the paeoniflorin standard. Subsequently, a three-dimensional peak shape model was established, and the peak shape parameters of each component were obtained by fitting calculation, among which the paeoniflorin peak had good symmetry and the width was consistent with the characteristics of the theoretical chromatographic peak. Finally, through deconvolution calculation, the overlapping peaks were successfully separated into independent component peaks, and the paeoniflorin peak was accurately quantitatively integrated at a wavelength of 230nm.
