Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medicinal material quality control, and in particular to an HPLC fingerprint detection method for Korean angelica. Background Art
[0002] Korean angelica is the source plant of angelica in Chinese Korean medicine (abbreviated as Korean medicine). It is the root of the Apiaceae plant Korean angelica (Angelica gigas Nakai), also known as wild angelica. It is distributed in various provinces in Northeast China, the Korean Peninsula and Japan. Korean angelica often grows on high mountain slopes above 1,000 meters above sea level and prefers sandy and rocky soil. It is distributed wild in various counties and cities in the Changbai Mountain area and is also cultivated.
[0003] The root of Korean angelica has the effects of dispelling wind and unblocking meridians, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, and moisturizing and lubricating the intestines. It is primarily used to treat dysmenorrhea, traumatic injuries, blood deficiency, and constipation. Literature reports indicate that Korean angelica contains a variety of chemical components, including coumarins, volatile oils, organic acids, and sugars. The Korean Pharmacopoeia stipulates that the total content of the coumarin compounds purpurogenol, purpurogenol, and purpurogenol angelate in authentic Korean angelica must not be less than 6.0%. These chemical components have various pharmacological activities, including anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties.
[0004] While extensive research has been conducted both domestically and internationally on the chemical composition and pharmacological effects of Korean angelica, little research has been conducted on the quality standards for this ethnic medicine. This study, using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprint analysis, aims to establish comprehensive, systematic, and scientific quality standards for Korean angelica. This study is of vital importance for standardizing and regulating the quality of Korean angelica and ensuring the safety and effectiveness of clinical medication. This study fills a gap in the quality standards for Korean angelica and provides a scientific basis for establishing these standards. Summary of the Invention

[0034] 2. Methods and Results 2.1.1 Selection of detection wavelength In order to obtain the most abundant information on the chemical components of Angelica sinensis in the fingerprint, a diode array detector (DAD) was used to scan the entire band from 200 to 400 nm. After a comprehensive investigation of the peak area, peak shape and number of chromatographic peaks, it was found that the peak shape and separation were good when the detection wavelength was 325 nm. Therefore, 325 nm was used as the detection wavelength to establish the HPLC fingerprint.
[0035] 2.1.2 Mobile phase selection Gradient elution was performed using methanol-water and acetonitrile-water systems as the mobile phases, respectively. The results showed that the chromatogram of Korean Angelica obtained by elution with acetonitrile-water system was better, but the separation was not ideal. In order to improve the separation, formic acid, acetic acid, phosphoric acid, and trifluoroacetic acid were added to the aqueous phase to improve the peak shape and separation. The results showed that the peak shape was better when 0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution was used as the mobile phase. Therefore, acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution was selected as the mobile phase, and the elution time program is shown in Table 1.
[0036] 2.1.3 Determination of experimental conditions The chromatographic column was Promosil C18 (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 m); the flow rate was 1.0 mL / min; the column temperature was 30°C; the detection wavelength was 325 nm; the injection volume was 10 L; the mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid water; and the detection time was 70 min.
[0037] 2.2 Preparation of sample solution 2.2.1 Preparation of reference solution Accurately weigh 2 mg of each of the reference substances: chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, 7-demethylxanthin, purpurogenol, and purpurogenol angelate. Place the solution in a 10 mL volumetric flask. Add 70% ethanol, shake well, and dilute to the mark to a concentration of 200 g / mL. Take appropriate amounts of each and mix to obtain a reference solution. Filter through a 0.45 µm microporous membrane and set aside.
[0038] 2.2.2 Preparation of test solution Accurately weigh 0.5 g of Korean Angelica sinensis powder (passed through a 40-mesh sieve) and place it in a stoppered conical flask. Accurately add 10 mL of 70% ethanol, tightly plug the stopper, weigh its mass, ultrasonicate for 40 minutes, cool to room temperature, make up the lost weight with 70% ethanol, shake well, let it stand, take the supernatant and filter it through a microporous filter membrane (0.45 μm), and take the filtrate to obtain the product.
[0039] 2.3 Establishment of Korean Angelica fingerprint like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, according to the above chromatographic conditions, batches 1 to 10 of the test samples were sampled and analyzed, and 20 common peaks with a separation degree greater than 1.0 were determined; by comparing the UV absorption spectrum, retention time and the addition of mixed reference solution to the test samples, it was confirmed that peaks 1, 4, 17, 18, and 19 were the chromatographic peaks of chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, 7-demethyledulosin, purpurogenol, and purpurogenol angelic acid ester, respectively; among them, peak 17 (7-demethyledulosin) had a stable retention time and no interference from other peaks, so it was used as the reference peak to calculate the relative retention times and relative peak areas of the 20 common peaks, as shown in Tables 2 and 3; wherein relative retention time = retention time of each component peak / retention time of the reference peak, relative peak area = peak area of each component peak / peak area of the reference peak.
[0040] Table 2 Relative retention times of common peaks in the fingerprints of 10 batches of Korean Angelica Table 3 Relative peak areas of common peaks in the fingerprints of 10 batches of Korean Angelica As shown in Tables 2 and 3, the RSD of the relative retention time of the common peaks in the HPLC fingerprints of 10 batches of Korean Angelica from different origins was 0.054%-0.300%, which was less than 3%, indicating good reproducibility; however, the RSD value of the relative peak area was 27%-92%, which showed significant differences. This indicates that the chemical component contents of the 10 batches of Korean Angelica from different origins were different due to their different growth environments.
[0041] 2.4 Similarity Calculation and Comparison Prepare the test sample solution according to the method under "2.2" and inject the sample into the system using the "Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System 2004A Edition" software provided by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia Committee. Import the chromatogram data of 1 to 10 batches of test samples into the system, set S1 as the reference spectrum, and use the "median" method to generate the reference spectrum. After multi-point correction and automatic matching, a common pattern was established. Based on the matched data, 20 common peaks (such as Figure 6 ), and calculated the similarity between Korean Angelicae Sinensis from different origins and the common pattern. The results are shown in Table 4.
[0042] 2.5 Methodological Validation 2.5.1 Precision experiment Accurately pipette 10 L of the same sample solution and inject it 5 times in a row according to the chromatographic conditions under 2.1. Use the "Chinese Herbal Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System 2004A Version" software to examine and calculate the retention time and peak area of each major chromatographic peak with Peak 17 (7-demethylcorticoidin) as the reference peak. The results show that the standard deviation of the relative retention time and relative peak area of each major chromatographic peak is less than 3%, indicating that the instrument has good precision.

The retention time and peak area of each major chromatographic peak were calculated. The results showed that the standard deviation of the relative retention time and relative peak area of each major chromatographic peak was less than 3%, indicating good reproducibility of the method.

Figure 5 , Table 7) Table 7-1 Results of stability test of Korean Angelica fingerprint (relative retention time) Table 7-2 Results of stability test of Korean Angelica fingerprint (relative peak area) 2.6 Cluster Analysis The test solution was prepared according to the method under "2.2" and sampled for analysis. The peak area values of the 10 batches of samples were used as variables. SPSS 19.0 statistical analysis software was used to perform a systematic cluster analysis on the samples. Euclidean distance was used as the sample measurement, and the vertical axis was the sample number. The cluster analysis results of 10 batches of Korean Angelica medicinal materials were obtained, see Figure 8 According to the cluster analysis results, Korean angelica medicinal materials from different origins can be clustered into six categories. S2 and 3 are clustered into one category, S6 and 7 are clustered into one category, S4 and 5 are clustered into one category, S8 and 9 are clustered into one category, S10 is clustered into one category, and S1 is clustered into one category, which can be used as a reference for quality evaluation.
[0044] 3. Summary This study established a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprint detection method for Korean angelica. By systematically optimizing chromatographic conditions (detection wavelength 325 nm, Promosil C18 column, acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid gradient elution), 20 common peaks were identified from 10 batches of Korean angelica from different origins, with Peak 17 (7-demethylcorticoidin) serving as the reference peak. The relative retention time RSDs of all peaks were less than 3%, demonstrating good reproducibility. The common peaks accounted for over 90% of the fingerprint area, while the non-common peaks accounted for less than 10%. Similarity evaluation showed that the similarity of samples from different origins was greater than 0.90, demonstrating the method's significant specificity and systematicity.
[0045] Methodological validation results demonstrated that the method demonstrated excellent precision, reproducibility, and stability, with the sample solution remaining stable for 24 hours, making it reliable for component analysis of Korean angelica. Combined with cluster analysis, 10 sample batches were clustered into six categories based on origin, providing data support for quality grading and origin traceability of the medicinal material.
[0046] This fingerprint detection method breaks through the limitations of traditional single ingredient detection and realizes the simultaneous analysis of multiple active ingredients such as chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, and purpurogenol in Korean angelica. It provides a scientific basis for the authenticity identification, quality control and standardized production of Korean angelica, and is of great significance to promoting the standardized development of Korean ethnic medicinal materials.
