Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine quality analysis and testing technology, and in particular to a method for constructing a leech characteristic spectrum. Background Technology
[0002] Characteristic maps of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have become an effective method for controlling the quality of raw TCM materials and compound TCM preparations in recent years, providing a broader perspective for TCM quality control research. TCM characteristic maps are holistic and quantifiable, highlighting the complete picture of the complex chemical components of TCM. Relying on these maps, a comprehensive evaluation of the intrinsic chemical components of TCM and overall quality control can be achieved, making the quality of TCM materials more controllable.
[0003] Leeches possess the properties of breaking up blood stasis and promoting menstruation, as well as removing blood stasis and eliminating masses. They are used for amenorrhea due to blood stasis, abdominal masses, hemiplegia due to stroke, and injuries from falls. Their main components are proteins and polypeptides, along with some small molecule compounds and trace elements. However, current research on leeches largely focuses on the content determination of single components such as proteins, nucleosides, or pteridines. Due to the diversity and complexity of effective components in traditional Chinese medicine, the determination of the content of a single component is insufficient to explain the intrinsic quality of the medicinal material and lacks specificity.
[0004] Chinese invention patent application No. 202211271229.X discloses a method of eluting with acetonitrile as mobile phase A and formic acid as mobile phase B to establish a characteristic spectrum. However, the spectrum in this prior art has poor peak shape and poor separation.
[0005] Therefore, it is very important to establish a method for constructing a leech feature map with better peak shape and separation. Summary of the Invention

[0011] 3) Accurately pipette the reference solution and the test solution separately and inject them into the liquid chromatograph for detection.

[0015] 0–18 min, excluding 0 min: 2–3% methanol;
[0016] 18–19 min, excluding 18 min: 3–10% methanol;

[0019] 43–48 min, excluding 43 min: 35–56% methanol;
[0020] 48–58 min, excluding 48 min: 56–62% methanol;
[0021] 58–62 min, excluding 58 min: 62% methanol.
[0022] Furthermore, the pH of the 0.1 mol / L ammonium formate solution is 3 to 5.
[0023] Furthermore, in step 1), the mass concentration of uracil reference standard in the reference solution is 40–60 μg / mL, the mass concentration of hypoxanthine reference standard is 40–60 μg / mL, the mass concentration of xanthine reference standard is 40–60 μg / mL, and the mass concentration of hirudin C reference standard is 8–10 μg / mL.
[0024] Furthermore, in steps 1) and 2), the mass fraction of the methanol aqueous solution is independently 25% to 75%.
[0025] Furthermore, in step 2), the mass-to-volume ratio of the test sample to the methanol-water solution is 0.5–2 g: 20–40 mL.
[0026] Furthermore, in step 2), the ultrasonic extraction time is 20–40 min.
[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0028] The method of this invention can fully reveal the chemical composition characteristics of leeches, providing rich and highly specific characteristic peak information, comprehensively reflecting the quality information of leeches, and thus achieving comprehensive and effective control over leech quality. This invention solves the problem of difficulty in identifying leeches in traditional Chinese medicine preparations due to the lack of visual characteristics, providing a solid basis for the quality control and evaluation of leeches and their products, especially traditional Chinese medicine preparations.

[0066] Example 1
[0067] Uracil reference standard, hypoxanthine reference standard, xanthine reference standard, and hirudin C reference standard were dissolved in 50% methanol aqueous solution to obtain standard solutions. Then, each standard solution was dissolved in 50% methanol aqueous solution to obtain reference solutions. In the reference solutions, the mass concentrations of uracil reference standard, hypoxanthine reference standard, xanthine reference standard, and hirudin C reference standard were 50 μg / mL, 50 μg / mL, and 8.4 μg / mL, respectively.
[0068] Add 1g of leech powder (batch number 20231009SZ010) to 25mL of 50% methanol, weigh it, extract it by ultrasound for 30min, make up the weight loss with 50% methanol, shake well, filter, and take the filtrate to obtain the test solution.

[0103] Examples 2-3
[0104] Compared with Example 1, the difference lies in the extraction solvent used in Examples 2 and 3, which were 25% methanol aqueous solution and 75% methanol aqueous solution, respectively. The test results are as follows: Figures 2-3 As shown.
[0105] Comparative Example 1
[0106] The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the mobile phase B in Comparative Example 1 is acetonitrile.
[0107] Tests were performed on Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, and the test results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the results indicate that, compared to acetonitrile, methanol provides better separation when the organic phase in the mobile phase is methanol. Therefore, methanol was selected as the mobile phase B in this invention.
[0108] Comparative Examples 2-4
[0109] Compared with Example 1, the difference is that in Comparative Examples 2 to 4, mobile phase A was pure water, 0.1% formic acid solution, and 0.1% acetic acid solution, respectively.
[0110] Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 2-4 were tested, and the results are as follows: Figures 5-7 As shown, the results indicate that the 0.01 mol / L formic acid ammonium solution has a better peak shape, while the fingerprint spectra of 0.1% formic acid water, 0.1% acetic acid water, and pure water have poor peak shapes and poor separation. Therefore, this invention selects 0.01 mol / L formic acid ammonium solution as mobile phase A.
[0111] Comparative Examples 5-7
[0112] Compared with Example 1, the difference is that in Comparative Examples 5 to 7, mobile phase A was 0.02 mol / L formic acid ammonium solution (adjusted to pH 4), 0.005 mol / L formic acid ammonium solution (adjusted to pH 4), and 0.01 mol / L formic acid ammonium solution (without pH adjustment), respectively.
[0113] Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 5-7 were tested, and the test results are as follows: Figures 8-10As shown, the results indicate that the fingerprint peaks of 0.005 mol / L formate solution (adjusted to pH 4) and 0.01 mol / L formate solution (without pH adjustment) are poor and the separation is not good. Therefore, this invention selects 0.01 mol / L formate solution (adjusted to pH 4) as mobile phase A.
[0114] Comparative Examples 8-9
[0115] Compared with Example 1, the difference is that the extraction solvents in Comparative Examples 8-9 are pure water and ethanol, respectively.
[0116] Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 8-9 were tested, and the test results are as follows: Figures 11-12 As shown, the results indicate that pure water and ethanol have low extraction efficiency and fewer chromatographic peaks; the peak area is larger when the solvent is 50% methanol. Therefore, this invention selects 50% ethanol as the extraction solvent.
[0117] Comparative Example 10
[0118] The difference between this example and Example 1 is that reflux extraction was used in Comparative Example 10.
[0119] Tests were performed on Example 1 and Comparative Example 10, and the results are as follows: Figure 13 As shown, the results indicate that when the retention time for reflux and ultrasonic extraction is 17.6 min, the peak areas are 2027239 and 2197922, respectively. Ultrasonic extraction has better efficiency and the peak shape is better than that of reflux. Therefore, ultrasonic extraction is selected as the extraction method in this invention.
[0120] The HPLC characteristic chromatograms were evaluated as follows: 15 batches of leech samples were treated as test samples to prepare test solutions. The batch numbers of the 15 batches of leech samples are shown in Table 11. The samples were injected according to the chromatographic conditions under the optimal chromatographic conditions section, and the HPLC characteristic chromatograms of the 15 batches of leech samples were recorded. The HPLC characteristic chromatograms of the 15 batches of leech samples were imported into the "Traditional Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System (2010 version)". Using S1 as a reference, the median method was used to generate a control chromatogram. The fingerprint similarity results are shown in Table 12.
