Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for quality inspection of a five-color and nine-flavor granule, belonging to the technical field of analysis of traditional Chinese medicine preparations. Background Art

[0002] Flat warts are viral skin diseases caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Adolescents are susceptible, and they tend to occur in exposed areas such as the face, back of the hand, and forearm. They appear as flat, raised papules of brown or normal skin color, round or oval in shape, ranging from the size of a grain of rice to a soybean. Long-existing flat warts can fuse into patches, and in severe cases, they can spread throughout the body. This disease is often chronic, prone to recurrence, and has a certain degree of infectivity. It can auto-inoculate or be mutually infected among people through direct or indirect contact.

[0003] Clinically, the treatment of flat warts mainly relies on physical therapy and drug therapy. The mechanism of action of drug therapy is clear, but there are problems such as long treatment time, incomplete treatment, and easy recurrence of skin lesions. Physical therapy, surgical resection and other means can directly destroy skin warts, with significant short-term curative effects, but they cannot inhibit and eliminate the virus, cannot reduce the recurrence rate, and have disadvantages such as large wound surfaces, easy infection, difficult healing, painful treatment, easy formation of scars and pigmentation.

[0004] In the previously authorized patent CN116211985B of the applicant, a traditional Chinese medicine composition, a traditional Chinese medicine preparation and their applications for treating flat warts are disclosed. The traditional Chinese medicine composition is composed of the following raw materials: polygonum cuspidatum, oldenlandia diffusa, arnebia euchroma, isatis root, oyster, curcuma aromatica, safflower, zedoary turmeric and licorice. The prepared pharmaceutical composition has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting qi circulation and removing blood stasis, and has a good therapeutic effect on flat warts caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis and scattered flat papules on the skin. However, the preparation method of the traditional Chinese medicine composition is the decoction method, with complex components, difficult quality control, short storage time, inconvenient to carry, and unstable clinical curative effects. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare it into a granule preparation - a five-color and nine-flavor granule.

[0005] However, there is currently no literature report on a comprehensive analysis of the chemical components of the traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation containing polygonum cuspidatum and zedoary turmeric required to be protected by the present invention. In the prior art, only the quality analysis of single components in this traditional Chinese medicine preparation is carried out, and there is no relatively comprehensive and systematic quality control method to reflect the quality status of the main reference sample components in the traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation of the present invention, and it is impossible to effectively control its production process and product quality, and it is unable to better ensure its clinical curative effects.

[0054] Step 2: Decoct with water for 1 hour, then filter the decoction to obtain filtrate A;

[0055] Step 3: Continue to decoct with water for 1 hour and then filter to obtain filtrate B;

[0056] Step 4: Combine filtrate A and filtrate B, concentrate, and let stand for 12 hours;

[0057] Step 5: Take the supernatant and concentrate it to an appropriate amount, pass it through a sieve to obtain a clear paste, mix the clear paste evenly with dextrin, make the obtained soft material into wet granules, dry, sieve and size the granules, and finally mix them, and package them in bags of 12 g each to obtain the product.

[0058] Example 2. Thin layer identification study of Rhizoma zedoariae

[0059] Take 1.5 g of the sample prepared in Example 1, add 25 ml of water, and treat with ultrasound for 30 minutes. The supernatant is extracted with ethyl acetate and evaporated to dryness. The residue is dissolved with 1 ml of methanol to prepare the test solution.

[0060] Take 0.5 g of Curcuma zedoaria (Wenyujin) as a control medicinal material, add 30 ml of methanol, ultrasonically treat for 30 minutes, centrifuge, evaporate the supernatant, dissolve the residue in 25 ml of water, extract with dichloromethane, discard the dichloromethane liquid, extract the aqueous phase with ethyl acetate, evaporate to dryness, and dissolve the residue in 1 ml of methanol as a control medicinal material solution.

[0061] Pipette 5-10 μl of the test sample solution and 3-5 μl of the control drug solution, spot them separately on the same silica gel G thin layer plate, use petroleum ether (60-90℃)-ethyl acetate-anhydrous formic acid (20:20:1) as the developing agent, develop, take out, dry, spray with 10 v / v% sulfuric acid-ethanol solution containing 2 v / v% vanillin, blow with hot air until the spots are clear, and examine under sunlight.

[0062] For the specificity test, 1.5 g of negative control sample prepared by the prescription ratio of other medicinal ingredients except Curcuma zedoariae was taken, 25 ml of water was added, ultrasonic treatment was performed for 30 minutes, centrifuged, the supernatant was extracted with ethyl acetate, evaporated to dryness, and 1 ml of methanol was added to the residue to dissolve it as the negative control solution.

After development, in the test sample chromatogram, at the corresponding position to the reference substance chromatogram, there are fluorescent spots showing the same color; in the negative control chromatogram, at the corresponding position to the control crude drug chromatogram, there are no fluorescent spots showing the same color.

[0074] It shows that the negative control without Polygonum cuspidatum has no interference with the experiment, and the test results are as Figure 2 shown, where 1, 2, 3 - test sample, 4 - emodin reference substance, 5 - negative control.

[0075] Example 5. TLC Identification Study of Polygonum cuspidatum

[0076] Take 1.5 g of the sample prepared in Example 1, add 25 ml of water, ultrasonically treat for 30 minutes, extract the supernatant with ethyl acetate, evaporate to dryness, dissolve the residue in 1 ml of methanol to obtain the test solution.

[0079] As a result, the developing effect is poor or the color development is not clear.

[0080] Example 6. TLC Identification Study of Licorice

After development, in the test sample chromatogram, at the corresponding position to the reference substance chromatogram, there are fluorescent spots showing the same color; in the negative control chromatogram, at the corresponding position to the reference medicinal material chromatogram, there are no fluorescent spots showing the same color.

[0085] It shows that the negative control without licorice has no interference with the experiment, and the test results are as Figure 3 shown, where 1, 2, 3 - test sample, 4 - liquiritin reference substance, 5 - negative control.

[0086] Example 7, TLC Identification Study of Licorice

[0087] Take 3 g of the sample prepared in Example 1, add 25 ml of water, ultrasonicate for 10 minutes, centrifuge, extract the supernatant once with 20 ml of dichloromethane, discard the dichloromethane liquid, saturate the aqueous phase with water-saturated n-butanol twice, 20 ml each time, combine the n-butanol, wash the n-butanol liquid with 10 ml of 0.1% sodium hydroxide solution, add 10 ml of hydrochloric acid solution (0.5 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid is diluted to 10 ml with water), shake well, extract twice with ethyl acetate, 20 ml each time, combine the ethyl acetate liquid, evaporate to dryness, add 1 ml of methanol to dissolve the residue, and use it as the test solution.

[0088] Accurately weigh 1 mg of liquiritin reference substance, add methanol to dissolve it, and prepare a solution containing 0.1 mg of liquiritin per 1 ml as the reference substance solution.
