Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine decoction preparation technology, and in particular to the preparation process of honeysuckle standard decoction. Background Technology

[0002] Honeysuckle is a semi-evergreen vine. Its young branches are reddish-brown and densely covered with yellowish-brown, spreading, stiff, rough hairs, glandular hairs, and short soft hairs. The lower parts are often hairless. Honeysuckle is highly adaptable, tolerating a wide range of temperatures. It prefers moist conditions and is tolerant of waterlogging. It requires moist soil and thrives in low light and shady, rainy environments. It grows slowly under strong light. Sandy loam with a thick soil layer is optimal. It can be cultivated on hillsides, terraces, embankments, dikes, and barren hills. Honeysuckle is sweet and cold in nature, clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing inflammation and swelling. It is effective against bacterial dysentery and various suppurative diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine decoctions are a widely used form of medication in clinical practice. Standardized decoctions are single-herb Chinese medicinal decoctions prepared using standardized processes, guided by traditional Chinese medicine theory and based on clinical application, referencing modern extraction methods. They are used for standardized clinical medication to ensure accuracy and consistency of dosage.

[0003] Currently, there are no quality studies or standards for honeysuckle decoctions, making it impossible to measure the quality and efficacy of the decoction after preparation. This also prevents the establishment of quality standards for the final product of honeysuckle decoctions, leaving room for improvement. Therefore, we propose a preparation process for a standard honeysuckle decoction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a preparation process for a standard honeysuckle decoction to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This invention relates to a preparation process for a standard honeysuckle decoction, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1: Place honeysuckle slices in a clay pot, add 12 times the amount of water, and soak for 60 minutes. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for 20 minutes to obtain one decoction. Pour out the first decoction.

[0008] S2: Add 10 times the amount of water to the clay pot again, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for 15 minutes to obtain a second decoction. Pour out the second decoction.

[0009] S3: Filter the first and second medicinal solutions obtained from S1 and S2 through a 200-mesh filter, cool the filtrate to room temperature in a cold water bath, and then combine the two filtrates to obtain honeysuckle medicinal solution;

[0010] S4: The obtained honeysuckle extract was concentrated under vacuum at a temperature of 50℃, with an absolute vacuum of 30-40 mbar, until the weight ratio of the medicinal material to the fluid extract was 1:1.

[0011] S5: Based on S4 above, the concentrated liquid is collected and freeze-dried to obtain the standard honeysuckle decoction.

[0012] Concentration and freeze-drying are used to measure the yield and extract indicators of honeysuckle in decoctions.

[0013] In this invention, standard decoctions serve as a "bridge" connecting traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces and modern Chinese medicine preparations. They provide a reference for controlling the quality of Chinese medicine end products, a tool for standardizing different forms of Chinese medicine administration to ensure the uniformity of quality and the consistency of efficacy, and a reference for evaluating the consistency of product quality from different manufacturers. Therefore, the research on the quality standards of standard decoctions of Chinese medicine decoction pieces will provide a foundation for the formulation of quality standards for all end products derived from decoctions of Chinese medicine decoction pieces.

[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The preparation process of the honeysuckle standard decoction of the present invention uses objective quality standards to measure the component transfer of honeysuckle slices into decoction, and ensures the quality and effectiveness of honeysuckle decoction.

[0016] The "standard" in the honeysuckle standard decoction of this invention mainly covers the representativeness of the raw materials, the consistency of the preparation process with the traditional method, and the rigor of quality control, which basically ensures the stability and uniformity of the efficacy and quality of the honeysuckle prescription. In addition, the honeysuckle standard decoction has not undergone a drying process, thus maintaining the consistency with the traditional decoction in clinical practice to the greatest extent.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

Honeysuckle is a cultivated product, distributed throughout my country. It is mainly produced in Shandong, Hebei, and Henan provinces, where its cultivation has reached a large scale and is the main source of commercial honeysuckle. Based on a comprehensive evaluation of raw material quality, sustainable resource supply, and other factors, the preliminary production areas for raw materials used in large-scale production were determined to be Pingyi, Yishui, and Yinan in Shandong Province, Julu in Hebei Province, and Fengqiu in Henan Province. Ultimately, 15 qualified batches were selected for the research of standard decoctions.

[0080] The upper and lower limits of the standard decoction transfer rate were set at 24.4% to 45.4%.

[0081] Content Research and Standard Setting: Modern research shows that the main chemical components of honeysuckle are organic acids (chlorogenic acid, 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid), flavonoids (luteolin), iridoid glycosides, triterpenoid saponins, iridoid glycosides, volatile oils, and other components. Among them, phenolic acids and luteolin have antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, hepatoprotective, choleretic, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, immune-enhancing, antioxidant, antifertility, and hemostatic effects. The 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia lists luteolin as an indicator component for quality control of honeysuckle. Combined with the provisions in the national drug standard YBZ-PFKL-2021073 (content determination) of honeysuckle formula granules, this study selected chlorogenic acid, total phenolic acids (including 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid and 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid), and luteolin as the quality control indicator components for standard honeysuckle decoctions.

[0082] Chlorogenic acid, phenolic acids (with chlorogenic acid (C 16 H 18 O9), 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (C 25 H 24 O 12 ) and 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (C 25 H 24 O 12 ));

[0090] Based on the actual range of 60.2mg to 72.5mg, the average value of 70% to 130%, i.e., 45.6mg to 84.6mg, was adopted as the upper and lower limits of the standard decoction content.

[0091] Based on the data of chlorogenic acid content in 15 batches of honeysuckle medicinal materials, content in standard decoctions, and yield of extract, the average transfer rate of content in standard decoctions was calculated to be 38.7%.

[0092] The range calculated using the mean plus or minus 3 times the SD is 25.2% to 39.0%.

[0093] The range calculated using 70% to 130% of the mean is 22.5% to 41.7%.

[0094] Based on the actual range of 29.2% to 36.2%;

[0095] The upper and lower limits of the standard decoction transfer rate were set at 22.5% to 41.7%.

[0096] Based on the data of honeysuckle content (total phenolic acids), standard decoction content and extract yield of 15 batches of medicinal materials, the average transfer rate of standard decoction content was calculated to be 58%.

[0097] The range calculated using the mean plus or minus 3 times the SD is 30.4% to 38.4%.

[0098] The range calculated using 70% to 130% of the mean is 24.1% to 47.7%.

[0099] Based on the actual range, it is 32.3% to 36.7%;

[0100] The upper and lower limits of the standard decoction transfer rate were set at 24.1% to 47.7%.

[0101] Luteolin: Based on the "Technical Requirements for Quality Control and Standard Formulation of Traditional Chinese Medicine Formula Granules", and combined with the data of luteolin in 15 batches of standard honeysuckle decoction, the limits and upper and lower limits of luteolin in standard decoction were calculated.

[0102] The range calculated using the mean plus or minus 3 times the SD is: 0.64 mg to 1.12 mg;

[0103] The range calculated using 70%–130% of the mean is 0.62 mg–1.14 mg.

[0104] Based on the actual range of 0.75mg to 1.00mg, the upper and lower limits of the standard decoction content are adopted as the average value of 70% to 130%, i.e., 0.62mg to 1.14mg.

[0109] The upper and lower limits of the standard decoction transfer rate were set at 24.4% to 45.4%.

[0110] Feature mapping research and standard setting, such as Figure 3 As shown, the chromatogram of the standard honeysuckle decoction with experimental batch number BT(JYH)211001 was selected as the reference chromatogram to establish a control characteristic chromatogram. Based on the data analysis results, eight common peaks were finally selected as characteristic peaks, and luteolin was selected as the reference peak. The relative retention times of the characteristic peaks in the chromatogram were calculated.

[0111] By comparing the chromatogram with that of the reference standard, it was found that among the eight characteristic peaks in the characteristic chromatogram of the honeysuckle standard decoction, peak 2(S) is luteolin. According to the national drug standard YBZ-PFKL-2021073 "Honeysuckle Formula Granules", peak 2(S) is chlorogenic acid, peak 4 is rutin, and peak 5 is luteolin.

[0112] Table 7 shows a comparison of retention times for 15 batches of standard honeysuckle decoction:

[0113]

[0114]

[0115] Table 8 shows the relative peak areas of 15 batches of standard honeysuckle decoctions:

[0116]

[0117]

[0118] The results showed that the characteristic chromatograms of the 15 batches of honeysuckle standard decoction test samples all showed chromatographic peaks corresponding to the retention times of the 8 main characteristic peaks in the reference medicinal material. The relative retention time RSD of peaks 1, 2 to 8 was less than 2%, indicating that the elution time of each peak was consistent among the batches.

[0119] Based on the determination results of 15 batches of honeysuckle standard decoction and the retention time data in the repeatability and precision tests of the methodology, it can be seen that the relative retention times of peaks 1 and 3 are relatively stable, basically within ±2%, while the retention times of peaks 6, 7, and 8 are relatively large, with relative retention times basically within ±6%. Therefore, it is stipulated that the chromatogram of the test sample should show 8 characteristic peaks, and the retention times should correspond to the 8 characteristic peaks in the chromatogram of the reference medicinal material. Among them, peaks 2, 4, and 5 should correspond to the retention times of the corresponding reference peaks. The peak corresponding to the chlorogenic acid reference peak is the S peak. The relative retention times of each characteristic peak and the S peak should be within ±2% of the specified value for peaks 1 and 3, and within ±6% of the specified value for peaks 6, 7, and 8.

[0120] Extractives study and standard setting: Extractives were determined using ethanol as the solvent, following the hot extraction method under the "Determination of Alcohol-Soluble Extractives" section of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020, Part IV, General Chapter 2201. The test results for 15 batches of honeysuckle standard decoction are shown in Table 9.

[0121] Table 9 is a comparison table of the results of extract determination of 15 batches of honeysuckle:

[0122]

[0123]

[0124] The average value of the alcohol-soluble extract from 15 batches of standard decoction was 37.4%.

[0125] The range calculated using the mean plus or minus 3 times the SD is 33.4% to 40.4%.

[0126] The range calculated using 70% to 130% of the mean is 26.2% to 48.6%.

[0127] Based on the actual range, it is 35.7% to 39.7%;

[0128] It is recommended to use 36% to 49% as the upper and lower limits of the standard decoction extract.
