Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fluorescence analysis, relates to a hemicyanin probe compound and a preparation method thereof, and also relates to the application of the probe compound in the rapid detection of sulfite ions and sulfur-fumigated Chinese medicinal materials. Background Art

[0002] Sulfur fumigation is a common method for processing Chinese medicinal materials (TCMs). It has long been used in the processing, storage, and maintenance of TCMs, foods, and agricultural products. Its primary purpose is to dry and enhance the color of TCMs, while also providing preservation, mildew prevention, bleaching, and insect repellency. Sulfite, the primary residue left after sulfur fumigation of TCMs, can cause clinical symptoms such as asthma, urticaria, itching, angioedema, and even anaphylactic shock and death. It may also be carcinogenic and cause tissue, organ, and nervous system toxicity. Currently, sulfur fumigation is primarily used for certain TCMs that are difficult to dry or prone to spoilage, such as kudzu root, yam, wolfberry, and gastrodia elata. The sulfur fumigation process generates significant amounts of SO₂, which exists in TCMs in both free and bound forms. The free form includes SO₂ molecules, sulfite, and bisulfite. The bound state is primarily SO2, formed by the reaction of free SO2 with certain components of traditional Chinese medicines. Since irreversibly bound sulfites do not dissociate under physiological conditions and pose no health risks, free and reversibly bound sulfites are the targets of detection. The 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia has strict detection limits for residual SO2: limits of 400 mg / kg are permitted for Chinese yam, Gastrodia elata, Asparagus cochinchinensis, Achyranthes bidentata, Radix Trichosanthis, Atractylodes macrocephala, Bletilla striata, Codonopsis pilosula, Paeonia lactiflora, and Pueraria lobata; limits of 10 mg / kg are permitted for Chinese yam slices; and limits for other Chinese medicinal materials are 150 mg / kg. However, to enhance the appearance of Chinese medicinal materials and pursue economic benefits, farmers excessively sulfur-fumigate them, resulting in excessive SO2 levels. To accelerate the market circulation of Chinese medicinal materials, ensure their safe use, and mitigate potential health risks, developing sensitive, rapid, and real-time methods for detecting residual SO2 in sulfur-fumigated Chinese medicinal materials is of great significance.

[0030] 4.2 Application of Sulfur Fumigation in Rapid Detection of Chinese Medicinal Materials

The fitting curve y = - 9.54539x +491.42732, SO3 2- The concentration range is 0~3.7μM and the linear relationship is good. 2 = 0.99728.

[0033] 4.2.2 Investigation of Codonopsis Extraction Methods

[0034] Using the SO2 content in sulfur-fumigated Codonopsis as an indicator, three different extraction methods were selected: ultrasound, maceration, and oscillation. The results showed that the oscillation extraction method produced the highest residual SO2 in sulfur-fumigated Codonopsis, so the oscillation method was chosen to extract SO2 from sulfur-fumigated herbs. See Table 1.

[0035]

[0036] Taking the SO2 content in sulfur-fumigated Codonopsis as the investigation index, five different NaOH concentrations of 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.8% and 1% were selected. The results showed that the residual SO2 in sulfur-fumigated Codonopsis was the highest when the NaOH concentration was 1%. Therefore, the extraction solution with a concentration of 1% NaOH was selected to extract SO2 from sulfur-fumigated medicinal materials, see Table 2.

[0037]

[0038] Taking the SO2 content in sulfur-fumigated Codonopsis as the investigation index, six different solid-liquid ratios of 1:10, 1:20, 1:30, 1:40, 1:50 and 1:60 were selected. The results showed that the residual amount of SO2 in sulfur-fumigated Codonopsis was the highest when the solid-liquid ratio was 1:60. Therefore, the solid-liquid ratio of 1:60 was selected to extract SO2 from sulfur-fumigated medicinal materials, see Table 3.

[0039]

[0040] Taking the SO2 content in sulfur-fumigated Codonopsis as the investigation index, five different extraction temperatures of 30℃, 40℃, 50℃, 60℃ and 70℃ were selected. The results showed that the residual amount of SO2 in sulfur-fumigated Codonopsis was the highest when the extraction temperature was 30℃, so the extraction temperature of 30℃ was selected to extract SO2 from sulfur-fumigated medicinal materials, see Table 4.

[0041]

[0042] Taking the SO2 content in sulfur-fumigated Codonopsis as the investigation index, six different extraction times of 10min, 20min, 30min, 40min, 50min and 60min were selected. The results showed that the residual amount of SO2 in sulfur-fumigated Codonopsis was the highest when the extraction time was 50min. Therefore, the extraction time of 50min was selected to extract SO2 from sulfur-fumigated medicinal materials. 2, See Table 5.

[0043]

[0044] From the above results, it can be seen that when the extraction method is oscillation method, the extraction solution is 1% NaOH, the material-liquid ratio is 1:60, the extraction temperature is 30℃, and the extraction time is 50 min, the residual amount of SO2 in the sulfur-fumigated medicinal materials is the highest.

The average value of 6 tests was 2683.89 mg / Kg, and the RSD was 1.76%. The results proved the reliability of the precision of this method.

[0048]

[0049] 4.2.3.2 Repeatability study

[0050] The extract of fumigated Codonopsis pilosula was obtained using the established extraction method, and the probe compound HCY-FN was used to detect the residual SO2 in fumigated Codonopsis pilosula. The average value of 6 tests was 2539.31 mg / Kg, and the RSD was 1.85%. The results demonstrated the reliability of the detection method, as shown in Table 7.

[0051]

[0052] 4.2.3.3 Stability assessment

[0053] The extract of fumigated Codonopsis pilosula was obtained using the established extraction method, and the probe compound HCY-FN was used to detect the residual SO2 in fumigated Codonopsis pilosula. In the five tests, the fluorescence intensity tended to be stable when the time exceeded 70 minutes, as shown in Figure 8.

[0054]

[0055] 4.2.3.4 Sample recovery rate investigation

[0056] The extract of Codonopsis pilosula was obtained by the established extraction method, and the SO3 in the extract was detected by the probe compound HCY-FN. 2- content, then add an equal amount of SO3 2- The fluorescence intensity was measured using the probe compound HCY-FN, and the calculated recovery rate was within the range of 98.52%-104.02%, with an RSD value of 1.90%. The results showed that this detection method can accurately determine the SO3 in the sulfur-fumigated medicinal material extract. 2- The content is shown in Table 9.

[0057]

[0058] 4.2.3.5 Blank control

[0059] The extract of unfumigated Codonopsis pilosula was obtained using the established extraction method, and the fluorescence intensity corresponding to the unfumigated Codonopsis pilosula was detected by the probe compound HCY-FN. The results showed that the fluorescence intensity of the six tests was the same as that without the addition of the extract.

[0060] 4.2.4 Results of sulfur dioxide residues in Chinese medicinal materials

[0061] Since the sample processing process is an alkaline environment and an acidic environment, the reversibly bound sulfite in the medicinal material can be extracted under alkaline conditions. Therefore, the residual SO2 in the fumigated sulfur astragalus measured by probe HCY-FN is higher than the residual SO2 in the fumigated sulfur astragalus measured by acid-base titration. The value measured by the probe compound is closer to the actual sulfur content of the medicinal material. The results are shown in Table 10.

[0062]

[0063] In summary, the highest content was detected when the oscillation method was used, the extraction time was 50 min, the extraction temperature was 30℃, 1% NaOH solution was used, and the solid-liquid ratio was 1:60. The precision (RSD ≤ 1.76%), repeatability (RSD ≤ 1.85%), and sample recovery rate (RSD ≤ 1.90%) were also good, indicating that this method can be used for the quantitative detection of SO2 residues in sulfur-fumigated Chinese medicinal materials and realize the rapid detection of sulfur-fumigated Chinese medicinal materials.

[0064] The present invention provides a hemicyanin probe compound, and establishes a method for detecting sulfite ions and sulfide ions in a solution using the probe molecule under ultraviolet-visible and fluorescence conditions. When common anions are added to a solution of the probe molecule (C2H5OH:Hepes = 1:9, V / V), only the sulfite and sulfide ions undergo changes. The sulfite can discolor the solution and quench the solution fluorescence, resulting in good anti-interference performance, while the sulfide ion can deepen the fluorescence color. The sulfur dioxide residue in sulfur-fumigated Chinese medicinal materials is used as the detection target. By treating the sulfur-fumigated Chinese medicinal materials under alkaline conditions, ultrasensitive and rapid detection of sulfur-fumigated Chinese medicinal materials is achieved using a standard curve method. The hemicyanin probe compound has the advantages of fast analysis speed, stable fluorescence performance, and real-time detection for the determination of sulfur dioxide residue in Chinese medicinal materials, and has the value of being promoted and used in the detection of sulfur dioxide residues in the fields of traditional Chinese medicine and food.

The mixture was then centrifuged at high speed (4500 rpm, 10 min) and the supernatant was collected to obtain the sulfur-fumigated Chinese medicinal material extract.

[0105] (3) Determination of SO2 residues in sulfur-fumigated Chinese medicinal materials

[0106] Probe compound method:

[0107] Take the probe compound HCY-FN in Hepes buffer solution (C HCY-FN = 2×10 -54 M) was placed in a 5 mL colorimetric tube, and the sulfur-fumigated Astragalus membranaceus extract was added. The tube was incubated at 30°C for 40 min. The fluorescence intensity was measured using a 1 cm*1 cm quartz sample cell with an incident and exit slit width of 10 nm, an excitation wavelength of 500 nm, and a voltage of 700 V. The sulfite ion concentration in the Astragalus membranaceus solution was determined using the regression equation: y = - 9.54539x + 491.42732. The residual sulfur dioxide in the Astragalus membranaceus was calculated to be 5435.15 based on the mass of the Chinese medicine sample.

[0108] Comparative Example

[0109] Acid-base titration:

[0110] According to the acid-base titration method of Part IV (General Chapter 2331) of the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the residual SO2 in sulfur-fumigated Astragalus was determined. 5 g of the Astragalus powder in Example 4 was accurately weighed and placed in a two-necked round-bottom flask. 300 mL of ultrapure water and 10 mL of 6 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution were added. A condenser was connected, and an air guide tube was connected to the upper end of the condenser. The other end of the air guide tube was placed in a conical flask. 50 mL of 3% H2O2 solution and 3 drops of 2.5 mg / mL methyl red ethanol solution indicator were added to the conical flask as absorption liquid. Nitrogen was introduced to the bottom of the conical flask at a flow rate of 0.2 L / min. The solution in the two-necked flask was heated to boiling. Heating was stopped after 1.5 h. After the absorption liquid was allowed to cool, it was titrated with 0.01 mol / L NaOH to determine the residual SO2 in the Astragalus, which was 3532.82 mg / kg.

[0111] The fluorescence method proposed in the present invention was used for determination. The results are shown in Table 10. Each experiment was repeated 6 times. The results show that the fluorescence method proposed in the present invention was successfully used for determination of sulfur dioxide in sulfur-fumigated traditional Chinese medicine. Compared with the pharmacopoeial method, the method is accurate, reliable and feasible.
