Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for detecting volatile components in Apium graveolens L. var. dulce DC. and constructing a fingerprint, and particularly relates to a method for establishing and applying a gas chromatography - fingerprint of volatile components in Apium graveolens L. var. dulce DC., belonging to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine analysis. Background Art
[0002] The Twenty-five Flavor Pearl Pills are a commonly used Tibetan patent medicine of the precious category in Tibetan medicine, and are the main products of Tibet Zangnuo Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. It is a pill prepared from 27 medicinal materials including pearl, mother-of-pearl, nutmeg, safflower, Terminalia chebula Retz., Apium graveolens L. var. dulce DC., Zhidasa Zeng, clove, dalbergia wood, etc., and has the efficacy of calming the mind and opening the orifices. It is commonly used in the treatment of diseases such as stroke, hemiplegia, deviation of the mouth and eyes, coma, mental disorder, delirium and mania, and has remarkable curative effects. Improving the quality standard is particularly important for enhancing the quality control level of Tibetan patent medicines, and most preparations of Tibetan medicines have increased the internal control chemical composition indexes. However, there is relatively little research on the quality control of the Twenty-five Flavor Pearl Pills and their related medicinal materials. As a traditional Chinese medicine, Apium graveolens L. var. dulce DC. is not currently included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and its quality standard was only simply controlled in the 1985 edition of the Tibetan Pharmacopoeia, the 2010 edition of the Tibetan Medicine Processing Specification of Qinghai Province, and the 2020 edition of the Inner Mongolia Mongolian Medicine Decoction Pieces Processing Specification, and its quality cannot be effectively guaranteed. In order to ensure the internal quality of the raw materials of Apium graveolens L. var. dulce DC. and clarify its origin, our company has carried out relevant research on the quality standard of Apium graveolens L. var. dulce DC.
[0003] Apium graveolens L. var. dulce DC., also known as Cuminum cyminum L., is a plant of the Umbelliferae family, and is an annual or biennial herb. The fruit is oblong, with a strong fragrance, slightly sweet and spicy. The dried and mature fruit has the efficacy of clearing lung heat, promoting gastric fire, and promoting digestion, and is one of the important raw materials of traditional Tibetan medicine. It is mainly produced in the Mediterranean and Central Asian regions, and is also planted in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and other places in China. Due to the strong aromatic smell of Apium graveolens L. var. dulce DC., it has always been used as a natural plant spice and medicinal plant. Its volatile components have important medicinal values. As an important raw material of traditional Tibetan medicine, confirming its volatile components and establishing a detection method for its volatile components play an important role in ensuring the quality of medicinal materials.
[0004] In view of the fact that there is no standard for Apium graveolens L. var. dulce DC. in the Pharmacopoeia (2020 Edition, Volume I); in the 1985 Edition of the Tibetan Pharmacopoeia, only a simple identification of Apium graveolens L. var. dulce DC. was carried out. At present, there are more component analyses of the volatile components in Apium graveolens L. var. dulce DC., and the components are mostly confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Due to the relatively high purchase cost of the detection equipment, it is difficult to be widely promoted. As a common device for determining volatile substances, the gas chromatograph (equipped with an FID detector) has a lower equipment cost. At present, there is no literature report on the gas chromatography (GC) analysis of the volatile components of Apium graveolens L. var. dulce DC. Therefore, it is of great academic research value and practical application value to invent a method that can quickly and accurately analyze the volatile components of Apium graveolens L. var. dulce DC., with a lower detection cost, and can reflect the quality of the medicinal materials to a certain extent.
