Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine analysis, and particularly relates to the construction of a fingerprint spectrum of Qingbai Tongbi Capsule and its application in drug quality control. Background Art
[0002] Qingbai Tongbi Capsules (QTC), a classic Chinese medicine formula meticulously developed by Shaanxi Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Shaanxi Medicine Registration Number: Z20130059), are specifically designed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (Fengshi Bi). This unique treatment was meticulously developed by Professor Hu Xiaojuan, a renowned Shaanxi TCM practitioner, drawing on her extensive research into historical documents and a deep understanding of Fengshi Bi. She also drew on years of clinical experience and insights into the properties of classic formulas such as Guizhi Decoction and Shaoyao Gancao Decoction, incorporating advanced research findings from traditional Chinese medicine pharmacology. It significantly reduces symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune joint diseases, including joint swelling, pain, cramps, and paralysis, thereby slowing disease progression. This formulation has been used in clinical practice for over 10 years and has demonstrated satisfactory results. As a compound preparation, the quality control of Qingbai Tongbi Capsules is currently primarily performed through two methods: thin-layer chromatography (TLC) to characterize Sinomenine and Paeonia lactiflora; and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) to precisely determine the sinomenine content. However, research on the overall properties of QTC remains limited, necessitating the establishment and improvement of relevant quality standards.
[0003] This study establishes a QTC HPLC fingerprint, combines it with chemical pattern recognition methods to initially screen for differential markers, and uses network pharmacology to identify potential targets and pathways, thereby predicting quality control indicators. The resulting indicators are closely integrated with clinical applications, providing a basis for holistic QTC quality control. Summary of the Invention

[0077]
[0078] Example 3 Optimization of chromatographic conditions
[0079] The present invention investigated different mobile phases, including methanol-water, acetonitrile-water, and acetonitrile-0.1wt% phosphoric acid aqueous solution. The results showed that the acetonitrile-0.1wt% phosphoric acid aqueous solution system had the best peak separation effect, so the acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution was selected as the mobile phase. Simultaneously, an investigation of the detection wavelength revealed that at 210nm, the number of chromatographic peaks was relatively large, and the absorption of each peak was relatively uniform, which can reflect the integrity and fuzziness of the fingerprint spectrum.
[0080] Secondly, when optimizing the preparation method of the test solution, the present invention investigated the effects of extraction solvents (ethanol, methanol, 40% methanol, 60% methanol, 80% methanol), extraction methods (ultrasonic extraction, heating reflux extraction), extraction time (15, 30, 45 min), and material-liquid ratio (1:50, 1:100, 1:200) on the extraction effect, and determined the optimal extraction conditions: the solvent corresponding to 1 g of capsule content is 50 mL of 80% methanol solution by volume, and ultrasonic extraction is performed for 30 min.
