Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of quality control technology for traditional Chinese medicine preparations, and specifically relates to a detection method for Ruyi Jinhuang San (a traditional Chinese medicine preparation). Background Technology
[0002] Ruyi Jinhuang San is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation made from ten herbs: turmeric, rhubarb, phellodendron bark, atractylodes rhizome, magnolia bark, tangerine peel, licorice root, raw arisaema rhizome, angelica root, and trichosanthes root. It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain. It is suitable for boils and carbuncles caused by heat toxin stagnation in the skin, characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain. It can also be used for traumatic injuries. The preparation method is as follows: pulverize the above ten herbs into a fine powder, sift, and mix well.
[0003] Currently, the testing methods used in the quality standards of this product are relatively limited, lacking quantitative testing methods related to the pharmacodynamic material basis. This makes it difficult to comprehensively and objectively reflect its intrinsic quality, which is not conducive to precise control of the production process and guarantee of product efficacy.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an analytical method that can accurately detect the active ingredients in Ruyi Jinhuang San in order to achieve systematic control over product quality.
[0005] Research has found that the Arisaema heterophyllum in Ruyi Jinhuang San contains apigenin (C... 15 H 10 The total flavonoid content, represented by apigenin (O5), is relatively high. Flavonoids generally possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, and are one of the important pharmacodynamic material bases related to the overall efficacy of the preparation. Moreover, apigenin has a stable structure and high detection sensitivity, making it very suitable as an indicator component for quantitative analysis. Therefore, establishing a method for determining the total flavonoid content using apigenin as a reference standard can provide a stable, reliable, and partially pharmacodynamic quantitative evaluation indicator for the quality control of Ruyi Jinhuang Powder. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Technical problem solved: The existing quality standards for Ruyi Jinhuang San preparations use limited testing methods, lacking quantitative detection methods related to the pharmacodynamic material basis. This makes it difficult to comprehensively and objectively reflect its intrinsic quality, hindering precise control of the production process and ensuring product efficacy. This invention proposes a testing method for Ruyi Jinhuang San that can objectively, comprehensively, and accurately evaluate its quality, significantly contributing to both product efficacy and quality assurance.
