Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical analysis technology, specifically relating to a quality testing method for Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng oral liquid. Background Technology
[0002] Lingzhi Shuangshen Oral Liquid is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation composed of Lingzhi (Ganoderma lucidum), ginseng, salvia miltiorrhiza, eucommia ulmoides, wolfberry, prepared he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum), stir-fried jujube seed, schisandra chinensis, prepared rehmannia glutinosa, angelica sinensis, and honey. It is a unique product in China and was approved for marketing by the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) in 2002. The main functions of Lingzhi Shuangshen Oral Liquid are to nourish qi and blood, and calm the mind. It is suitable for those with deficiency of both qi and blood, and restlessness of the mind, manifested as palpitations, anxiety, soreness and weakness of the lower back and knees, insomnia, and forgetfulness. It also has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on neurasthenia.
[0003] The Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng oral liquid of this invention is made from the following medicinal materials in the indicated weight ratios: 500g Ganoderma lucidum, 6g ginseng, 20g Eucommia ulmoides, 20g Lycium barbarum, 20g processed Polygonum multiflorum, 20g stir-fried Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa, 20g Schisandra chinensis, 20g Rehmannia glutinosa, 15g Angelica sinensis, and 650g honey. Except for ginseng and honey, the remaining nine ingredients (Ganoderma lucidum, etc.) are pulverized into coarse powder and extracted three times by reflux. The first extraction uses 6 times the amount of 60% ethanol and is refluxed for 2 hours. The second extraction uses 50% ethanol... Extract with 4 times the volume of 40% ethanol under reflux for 2 hours. Then, extract again with 4 times the volume of 40% ethanol under reflux for 2 hours. Filter, combine the filtrates, recover the ethanol, and concentrate to 1.18-1.23 (50°C). Add an equal volume of freshly boiled water, filter, and reserve the filtrate. Ginseng is coarsely ground, soaked in 60% ethanol for 24 hours, then percolated, collecting 100 ml of the percolate. Then, percolate again with 40% ethanol, collecting 80 ml of the percolate. Combine the percolates, recover the ethanol, and concentrate to 1.02. 1.05 (50°C), refrigerate, filter, and reserve the filtrate. Boil honey, filter, combine the filtrate with the above filtrate and percolate, add 3g of sodium benzoate to dissolve, add water to 1000ml, refrigerate for 72 hours, filter, fill, and sterilize to obtain the final product. Currently, Lingzhi Shuangshen Oral Liquid has qualified thin-layer chromatography identification experiments for major medicinal materials such as Lingzhi, Ziziphus jujuba seed, and Lycium barbarum, and also has qualified experiments for the content determination of medicinal materials such as Salvia miltiorrhiza. However, it has the following technical defects: 1. Defects in the identification of Salvia miltiorrhiza: The original method uses protocatechuic aldehyde as a reference standard, but it is a degradation product of Salvia miltiorrhiza (not a native component), which requires multiple extraction steps (ether extraction, sodium carbonate solution back extraction, acid adjustment of pH, and then ether extraction). The operation is cumbersome, the sample loss rate is high, and the loss rate is >20%. Moreover, the content of protocatechuic aldehyde in Salvia miltiorrhiza is low (about 0.03%~0.16%), which is not representative enough, has insufficient sensitivity, and is not a major active ingredient.
[0004] 2. Lack of identification of Angelica sinensis: The original standard did not include identification methods for Angelica sinensis, resulting in a lack of quality control for this herb and failing to meet the requirement of the National Center for Drug Evaluation to "suggest the establishment of identification methods for Angelica sinensis". Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a quality testing method for Ganoderma lucidum and Ginseng oral liquid. This invention optimizes thin-layer chromatography to achieve efficient and specific identification of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Angelica sinensis in Ganoderma lucidum and Ginseng oral liquid, providing a reliable technical solution for the quality control of traditional Chinese medicine preparations. Furthermore, this method has passed methodological validation (specificity, robustness, etc.) and demonstrated stability in stability studies, further ensuring the quality and safety of Ganoderma lucidum and Ginseng oral liquid and enabling comprehensive evaluation.
[0006] To address the above issues, the following technical solution is provided: A quality testing method for Ganoderma lucidum and Angelica sinensis oral liquid, including a thin-layer chromatography method for identifying Salvia miltiorrhiza and Angelica sinensis and / or a method for determining the content of Salvia miltiorrhiza using liquid chromatography.
[0007] Furthermore, the thin-layer chromatography identification method for Danshen uses two reference materials: Danshen reference material and sodium tanshinone.
[0008] Furthermore, the thin-layer chromatography identification method includes any one or any two of the following identification methods; (1) Thin-layer chromatographic identification method of Salvia miltiorrhiza Preparation of test solution: Take 30-50 ml of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng oral liquid sample, adjust the pH value to 1-2 with hydrochloric acid, add ether and shake to extract 3 times, 40 ml each time, combine the ether extracts, evaporate the solvent, and add 1 ml of methanol to dissolve the residue.
[0009] Preparation of control solution: Danshen control herb solution: Take 0.5g of Danshen control herb, add appropriate amount of water, heat under reflux for 2 hours, filter, add water to 20ml of filtrate, adjust pH to 1~2 with hydrochloric acid, add ether and shake to extract 3 times, 40ml each time, combine ether extracts, evaporate to dryness, add 1ml of methanol to dissolve the residue; Tanshinone sodium reference solution: Take an appropriate amount of tanshinone sodium reference standard and add methanol to prepare a solution containing 1 mg per 1 ml; Determination: Apply 5-10 μl of the test solution, 5 μl of the tanshinone reference material solution, and 2 μl of the sodium tanshinone reference solution to the same silica gel G thin-layer plate. Develop the plate using chloroform-acetone-acetic acid (25:10:4) as the developing solvent. After development, remove the plate, air dry it, fumigate it in ammonia vapor for about 10 minutes, remove it and let it stand for more than half an hour, then examine it under ultraviolet light (365 nm). If fluorescent spots of the same color appear at the corresponding positions in the chromatograms of the test sample, tanshinone reference material, and sodium tanshinone reference solution, it is considered a positive result for tanshinone identification.
[0010] (2) Thin-layer chromatographic identification method of Angelica sinensis Preparation of test solution: Take 30-50 ml of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng oral liquid sample, extract with 30 ml of ether three times, combine the ether extracts, evaporate the solvent, and dissolve the residue in 1 ml of methanol.
[0011] Preparation of control solution: Take 0.1g of Angelica sinensis reference material, add 20ml of ether, sonicate for 10 minutes, filter, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, and dissolve the residue in 1ml of methanol.
[0012] Determination: Apply 5-20 μl of the test solution and 2 μl of the Angelica sinensis reference material solution to the same silica gel G thin-layer plate; Development: Develop with n-hexane-ethyl acetate (9:1) as the developing solvent; After development, remove the thin-layer plate and examine it under ultraviolet light (365 nm); If fluorescent spots of the same color appear at the corresponding positions in the chromatogram of the test sample and the Angelica sinensis reference material, it is considered a positive result for Angelica sinensis identification.
[0013] Furthermore, when determining the content of tanshinone using liquid chromatography, salvianolic acid B is used as a reference standard.
[0014] Furthermore, the determination of the content of *Salvia miltiorrhiza* using liquid chromatography includes the following steps: Preparation of reference solution: Weigh an appropriate amount of salvianolic acid B reference standard, accurately weigh it, dissolve it in 80% methanol and quantitatively dilute it to prepare a solution containing approximately 0.16 mg per 1 ml, which is used as the reference solution; Preparation of Danshen negative solution: Take 10 ml of Danshen negative sample (batch number: 22082501) into a 15 ml volumetric flask, dilute with methanol and make up to the mark, shake well, filter through a 0.45 μm filter membrane, and take the filtrate as Danshen negative solution. Preparation of test solution: Accurately measure 10 ml of this product (batch number: 230301) into a 15 ml volumetric flask, dilute with methanol and bring to volume, shake well, filter through a 0.45 μm filter membrane, and take the filtrate as the test solution; Determination: Accurately measure 10 μl of each of the above solutions and inject them into the liquid chromatograph, and record the chromatograms; the chromatographic column used is an Agilent ZORBAX SB-C18 5μm 4.6×250mm stainless steel column, and the mobile phase is: A. 0.05% phosphoric acid, B. acetonitrile.
[0015] Further, perform gradient elution as shown in the table below: .
[0016] Beneficial effects Identification of Salvia miltiorrhiza: 1. High specificity: Using Salvia miltiorrhiza reference material and sodium tanshinone reference standard as dual controls solves the problem of insufficient representativeness of protocatechuic aldehyde. 2. Simple operation: The preparation of the test solution is simplified, and the pretreatment is optimized, retaining only one step of acid adjustment for pH and ether extraction. Ether extraction is performed 3 times × 40ml, eliminating the alkaline washing step and improving efficiency by 50%. The developing solvent is optimized to be chloroform-acetone-acetic acid, with a ratio of 25:10:4. After fumigation with ammonia vapor and ultraviolet detection, clear separation of spots is achieved, significantly improving the clarity and specificity of the spots.
[0017] Determination of Salvia miltiorrhiza content: 1. Indicator substitution: Protocatechuic aldehyde was abandoned, and salvianolic acid B was selected. 2. Breakthrough in chromatographic conditions: Mobile phase: 0.05% phosphoric acid (A)-acetonitrile (B) gradient elution (35℃ column temperature, 286nm detection), the resolution is better than the original method. 3. Simplified sample processing: direct methanol dilution and filtration.
[0018] Identification of Angelica sinensis: A new identification method using Angelica sinensis reference material as a reference has been added, which only requires extraction of the test sample with ether, reducing the time by 50%; the developing solvent is n-hexane-ethyl acetate (9:1), and direct ultraviolet detection is simple to operate and produces obvious spots; the new identification method for Angelica sinensis covers the flavor of prescription herbs, and there is no interference from negative samples.
[0019] The method of this invention can withstand changes in the brand of thin-layer plates and temperature and humidity, and the spots are clear and stable.
[0020] This invention addresses the specificity deficiencies of existing detection methods, ensuring drug safety and efficacy while meeting modern quality control requirements, and guaranteeing product safety, effectiveness, and quality control. It resolves the shortcomings of the original standard, complies with the "Technical Guidelines for Pharmaceutical Change Research of Marketed Traditional Chinese Medicines," and is applicable to the post-marketing quality standard upgrade of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng oral liquid.

[0067] (4) Determination of the limit of quantitation Take the linear relationship experiment linear 1 # A suitable amount of solution was gradually diluted with 80% methanol solution. Under the chromatographic conditions described above, 10 μl of the diluted solution was accurately measured and injected into the chromatograph, and the chromatogram was recorded. The signal-to-noise ratio was calculated; when the peak height was approximately 10 times the baseline noise (s / n≈10), this concentration of the diluted solution was considered the limit of quantitation (LOQ). The LOQ solution was injected six times consecutively under the chromatographic conditions described above, and the chromatograms were recorded. The LOQ for the determination of salvianolic acid B was 0.50 µg / ml (1.11% of the limit concentration of the test sample), and the RSD of the LOQ precision was 3.54% (<10%), indicating good precision. Data obtained from the chromatograms are shown in Table 8.
