Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine analysis technology, and specifically relates to a method for constructing a characteristic spectrum of a traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation for Alzheimer's disease. Background Technology
[0002] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease, clinically characterized by progressive cognitive impairment and memory decline. Currently, the selection of drugs for treating this disease is limited, and most primarily aim to alleviate symptoms, failing to fundamentally slow or reverse disease progression. Traditional Chinese medicine compound preparations, due to their multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway holistic regulatory characteristics, are receiving increasing attention in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
[0003] The present invention relates to a compound granule preparation for treating Alzheimer's disease, composed of Epimedium, Polygala tenuifolia, ginseng, and natural borneol. In this preparation, Epimedium tonifies kidney yang and strengthens bones and muscles; its flavonoid glycosides are considered an important material basis for improving cognitive function. Polygala tenuifolia calms the mind and improves intelligence; its saponins and oligosaccharide esters have protective effects on the nervous system. Ginseng greatly replenishes vital energy, improves intelligence, and calms the mind; its ginsenosides have significant effects on improving memory and anti-aging. Natural borneol opens the orifices and refreshes the mind, helping to guide the medicine upwards and promote blood-brain barrier permeability. The combined effects of these herbs are to improve intelligence, strengthen the brain, tonify the kidneys, and calm the mind, making it suitable for the adjunctive treatment of Alzheimer's disease and related cognitive impairments.
[0004] However, this formulation is a typical complex system consisting of multiple medicinal materials and various types of components. Its chemical composition encompasses different categories with a wide range of polarities: including weakly polar icariin flavonoids, moderately polar ginsenosides, and strongly polar polygala saponins and oligosaccharide esters. Under current analytical techniques, a single chromatographic method is insufficient to achieve the simultaneous and effective separation and detection of these diverse active ingredients with significantly different properties, resulting in an incomplete quality evaluation and an inability to truly reflect the overall material basis and intrinsic quality of the formulation.
[0005] Furthermore, the excipients introduced during the preparation of this formulation, as well as the complex matrices such as polysaccharides, pigments, and proteins contained in the medicinal materials themselves, can severely interfere with the detection of target components. Traditional pretreatment methods often fail to effectively remove matrix interference while efficiently extracting multiple target components, easily leading to problems such as unstable baselines, masking of characteristic peaks, and poor method reproducibility in chromatographic analysis. Meanwhile, how to scientifically select a set of multi-component references that can represent the overall chemical characteristics of the formulation and construct a characteristic spectrum that is comprehensive, specific, and transferable is also a key technical bottleneck in achieving stable and controllable quality of this formulation.
[0006] Therefore, for this traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation for treating Alzheimer's disease, there is an urgent need to establish a feature map construction method that can systematically solve the problems of its component complexity, matrix interference, and method robustness, so as to provide a scientific basis and technical guarantee for its production process control, batch-to-batch quality consistency, and stable and reliable clinical efficacy.
[0007] The challenges in detecting the characteristic chromatograms of this formulation lie in its diverse chemical composition and wide polarity, including weakly polar icariin, moderately polar ginsenosides, and strongly polar polygala saponins and oligosaccharide esters. Under single chromatographic conditions, it is difficult to achieve simultaneous and effective separation and detection of all characteristic components. Furthermore, the presence of numerous coexisting polysaccharides, pigments, and excipients in the compound formulation causes significant matrix interference, making it difficult for traditional pretreatment methods to balance high extraction efficiency with high sample purity. This results in unstable baselines, masking of characteristic peaks, or poor method reproducibility in the characteristic chromatograms. In addition, scientifically selecting representative multi-component references to construct a characteristic chromatogram that can comprehensively characterize product quality and is stably transferable across different instruments and laboratories presents a significant technical challenge. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for constructing a characteristic spectrum of a traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation for Alzheimer's disease, and to improve the efficacy and safety of the traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation for treating Alzheimer's disease in clinical applications by establishing quality control standards.
[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for constructing a characteristic profile of a traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation for Alzheimer's disease, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Preparation of reference solution: Take icariin, cuscuta C, polygala saponin, 3,6'-disinoyl sucrose and ginsenoside Rg1 reference standards, add 70% (volume fraction) methanol solution, sonicate to fully dissolve, cool, dilute to the mark with 70% methanol, shake well, filter through a 0.22µm microporous membrane to prepare a mixed reference solution containing 10µg of icariin, 10µg of cuscuta C, 8µg of polygala saponin, 8µg of 3,6'-disinoyl sucrose and 12µg of ginsenoside Rg1 per mL.
[0010] Step Two: Preparation of the test solution: Take the powder of this product, add a methanol-acetonitrile-water mixed solvent, weigh it, sonicate it, and cool it. Then, replenish the weight lost after sonication with a methanol-acetonitrile-water mixed solvent, shake well, and filter. Accurately measure the filtrate, place it in a centrifuge tube, add an equal volume of ethyl acetate-n-butanol mixed solvent, vortex, and allow it to stand for separation. Separate the upper organic phase, let it stand overnight at 4°C to precipitate and remove impurities, centrifuge, and obtain the supernatant. Take the supernatant and concentrate it to dryness under reduced pressure in a 40°C water bath to obtain the residue. Dissolve the residue obtained by concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure in a 5% formic acid aqueous solution to obtain the solution. Load the solution onto activated Oasis. The MAX mixed-mode solid-phase extraction column was washed sequentially with 5% formic acid and methanol, and the washings were discarded. Then, 5 mL of methanol solution containing 2% ammonia was used for elution. The eluent was collected and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure in a 40°C water bath to obtain the residue. The residue obtained by concentrating the eluent to dryness under reduced pressure was dissolved and diluted with 70% methanol. The diluted solution was filtered through a 0.22µm microporous membrane, and the filtrate was collected to obtain the test solution.
[0011] Step 3: Determination method: Accurately pipette 10 µL each of the reference solution and the test solution into the liquid chromatograph and record the chromatogram.
[0012] Chromatographic conditions: Column: GL Sciences InertSustain C18; Mobile phase: 10 mmol / L potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 3.5)-methanol (95:5 v / v) as mobile phase A, and acetonitrile-isopropanol solution (80:20 v / v) as mobile phase B, with gradient elution as specified; Flow rate: 1.0 mL / min; Column temperature: 30℃; Detection wavelength: 320 nm; The gradient elution procedure is as follows: 0~15min, mobile phase A: phase B, volume ratio 80:20; 15~30min, the volume ratio of mobile phase A: phase B changes from 80:20 to 76:24; For 30-50 minutes, the volume ratio of mobile phase A to phase B changes from 76:24 to 75:25. 50~55 min, the volume ratio of mobile phase A: phase B changes from 75:25 to 73:27; From 55 to 75 minutes, the volume ratio of mobile phase A to phase B changes from 73:27 to 72:28. At 75-76 min, the volume ratio of mobile phase A to phase B changed from 72:28 to 65:35. 76~85min, mobile phase A: phase B, volume ratio 65:35; 85~110min, the volume ratio of mobile phase A: phase B changes from 65:35 to 64:36; 110~120min, the volume ratio of mobile phase A: phase B changes from 64:36 to 60:40; 120~121 min, the volume ratio of mobile phase A: phase B changes from 60:40 to 80:20; Step 4: Generate a reference characteristic chromatogram: Select chromatographic peaks that are present in the chromatograms of different batches of traditional Chinese medicine compound preparations as common peaks, and use the average value calculation method to generate a reference characteristic chromatogram of the traditional Chinese medicine compound preparations.
[0013] Furthermore, in step one, the ultrasonic conditions are: 250 W, 40 kHz ultrasonic treatment for 30 minutes.
[0014] Furthermore, in step two, the volume ratio of the methanol-acetonitrile-water mixed solvent is 4:3:3.
[0015] Furthermore, in step two, the volume ratio of ethyl acetate to n-butanol is 1:1.
[0016] Furthermore, in step two, the Oasis MAX mixed-mode solid-phase extraction column has a specification of 60 mg / 3 mL.
[0017] Furthermore, the reference characteristic chromatogram generated in step four presents five chromatographic peaks, among which peaks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 correspond to the reference peaks of 3,6'-disinoyl sucrose, ginsenoside Rg1, asparagine C, polygala tenuifolia saponin, and icariin, respectively.
[0018] Furthermore, in step four, the relative retention times of each characteristic peak and the S peak are calculated using the icariin reference peak as the S peak. The relative retention times are all within ±10% of the specified values. The specified values are: 0.30 (peak 1), 0.84 (peak 2), 0.89 (peak 3), and 0.95 (peak 4).
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention constructs a comprehensive and exclusive multi-index feature map: For the first time, based on the complex chemical composition of this traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation, five characteristic components were scientifically selected as references, and a feature map was established to simultaneously characterize multiple components such as flavonoids, saponins, and oligosaccharide esters. This overcomes the limitations of controlling single-index components and can more comprehensively and realistically reflect the overall quality of the product.
[0020] 2. A highly efficient and selective sample pretreatment method was developed: An innovative integrated pretreatment strategy of "compound solvent extraction - liquid-liquid partitioning low-temperature precipitation - mixed-mode solid-phase extraction (SPE) purification" was adopted. This method achieves efficient simultaneous extraction of multiple target components by optimizing solvent composition; through low-temperature precipitation and selective elution using mixed-mode SPE (reverse-phase / anion exchange), matrix interferences such as polysaccharides, pigments, and proteins are significantly removed, greatly improving the purity of the sample solution. This ensures stable baselines and clear peaks in the characteristic chromatograms, significantly enhancing the specificity and signal-to-noise ratio of the method.
[0021] 3. Optimized chromatographic separation conditions suitable for complex systems: A binary gradient elution system composed of composite solvents was designed and adopted. This mobile phase system uses buffer salts to control pH to improve peak shape and introduces isopropanol to adjust solvent selectivity. In particular, it optimizes the separation between structurally similar saponins and flavonoid glycosides, enabling baseline separation of all five characteristic peaks in a single analysis, resulting in rich and highly characteristic chromatograms.
[0022] 4. A robust and reliable quality control method has been established: Through systematic methodological verification, the characteristic spectral method established in this invention exhibits high precision, good reproducibility, and excellent solution stability. The specified relative retention time in the method ensures good transferability and comparability of the spectral data across different instruments and laboratories, providing a stable and reliable technical means for the production process control, finished product quality evaluation, and batch-to-batch consistency assessment of traditional Chinese medicine compound preparations for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
