Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine analysis and detection technology, specifically to a method for identifying patchouli or wine-processed patchouli traditional Chinese medicine formula granules using characteristic spectral data, and a method for preparing patchouli or wine-processed patchouli traditional Chinese medicine formula granules. Background Technology
[0002] Patchouli, or Agastache rugosa (Fisch. & C.A.Mey.) Kuntze, is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine widely used to treat summer-heat colds, chest tightness, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Patchouli contains a rich variety of chemical components, mainly terpenes, flavonoids, and phenolic acids. Its pharmacological effects are primarily focused on regulating the digestive system, resisting pathogenic microorganisms, anti-inflammation, and anti-oxidation. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, processing with wine can guide the medicine upwards and correct its odor and taste; therefore, processing with wine enhances the efficacy of patchouli. The specific method involves mixing yellow wine and patchouli in a 20:100 ratio, thoroughly soaking the mixture, placing it in a stir-frying container, stir-frying it over low heat until golden brown, removing it, cooling it, and then processing it into a wine-processed patchouli product.
[0003] CN 115887525 A relates to a method for preparing and detecting a patchouli extract, as well as a method for constructing a characteristic chromatogram. In this method, mobile phase A is a phosphoric acid solution containing 0.08-0.12 wt% phosphoric acid, and mobile phase B is acetonitrile. The resulting characteristic chromatogram has only 5 peaks, which is too few, resulting in less information that can be read, and it cannot identify the wine-processed patchouli.
[0004] The paper "Establishment of Characteristic Spectrum and Determination of Three Components of Jiawei Huoxiang Zhengqi Pill" published by Zhang Yichang, Fan Xiaolei, Song Defang, et al. involves a method for constructing a characteristic spectrum of Jiawei Huoxiang Zhengqi Pill, a quality detection method, and a content determination method. This method uses acetonitrile as mobile phase A and 0.1% phosphoric acid solution as mobile phase B for gradient elution. Although the method in this literature can obtain more peak information, the baseline is unstable, the information is noisy, the analysis time is long, the characteristic peak missing rate is high, the specificity coverage is incomplete, some medicinal ingredients have no corresponding characteristic peaks, and it also has the problem of not being able to identify the wine-processed agastache.
[0005] In conclusion, it is necessary to further improve and refine the identification methods for patchouli preparations, fill the gap in the identification of wine-processed patchouli preparations, ensure the quality control of patchouli or wine-processed patchouli preparations, provide a reference for clinical drug safety, and provide a basis for the quality evaluation and resource development and utilization of patchouli or wine-processed patchouli preparations. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a characteristic chromatographic identification method for patchouli or wine-processed patchouli traditional Chinese medicine formula granules. By using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), an identification method for patchouli or wine-processed patchouli traditional Chinese medicine formula granules and other types of preparations such as decoction pieces has been established. It has the characteristics of good stability, high precision, good reproducibility, convenience and ease of use.
[0007] Another objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing granules of agastache or wine-processed agastache in traditional Chinese medicine formulations. The preparation method provided by this invention is beneficial to improving the accuracy of characteristic chromatogram identification and is highly compatible with the identification method provided by this invention.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A characteristic chromatographic identification method for a traditional Chinese medicine formula granule containing patchouli or wine-processed patchouli, including: A) The test sample is dissolved in methanol and extracted to obtain the test solution. The test sample is a traditional Chinese medicine formula granule of patchouli or wine-processed patchouli. B) The test solution was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography to obtain the characteristic chromatogram of the test sample; C) The chromatographic peak with a relative retention time of 1.41 was used as the distinguishing point between patchouli preparations and wine-based patchouli preparations. The use of a chromatographic peak with a relative retention time of 1.41 as the identification point between patchouli and wine-processed patchouli traditional Chinese medicine formula granules means that if a chromatographic peak with a relative retention time of 1.41 is present in the characteristic chromatogram of the test sample preparation, it is identified as patchouli traditional Chinese medicine formula granules; if it is not present, it is identified as wine-processed patchouli traditional Chinese medicine formula granules. The chromatographic conditions for the high performance liquid chromatography method are as follows: the chromatographic column is a C18 column; mobile phase A is acetonitrile, mobile phase B is 1% acetic acid solution, and gradient elution is used. The gradient elution specifically refers to: 0–9 min, Phase A: 22% → 28%, Phase B: 78% → 72%; 9–14 min, Phase A: 28% → 30%, Phase B: 72% → 70%; 14–20 min, Phase A: 30% → 37%, Phase B: 70% → 63%; 20–35 min, Phase A: 37% → 75%, Phase B: 63% → 25%.
[0009] According to the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "%" as used herein refers to volume percentage.
[0010] The inventors of this application discovered in their research that the above-mentioned determination method is beneficial for obtaining more effective chromatographic peaks, and the chromatographic peak baselines are stable and highly repeatable.
[0011] According to the present invention, the chromatographic peak with a relative retention time of 1.41 is peak 8 in the characteristic spectrum of patchouli. The similarity of the characteristic spectra of patchouli or its wine-processed preparations is evaluated using a similarity evaluation system for chromatographic fingerprints of traditional Chinese medicine. If the test sample is patchouli, a standard characteristic spectrum including 9 characteristic peaks is obtained. The peak corresponding to the reference peak of citronellol is peak S. The relative retention times of peaks 3-4, 6-9, and peak S are within ±10% of a specified value, where the specified values are: 0.31 (peak 3), 0.58 (peak 4), 0.58 (peak 5), and 0.58 (peak 6). 4) 1.25 (peak 6), 1.31 (peak 7), 1.41 (peak 8), 1.65 (peak 9); If the test sample is *Pogostemon cablin*, a standard characteristic spectrum including 8 characteristic peaks is obtained, and the peak corresponding to the reference peak of piperidin is the S peak. The relative retention times of peaks 3-4, 6, 7 and 9 with the S peak are within ±10% of the specified values, where the specified values are: 0.31 (peak 3), 0.58 (peak 4), 1.25 (peak 6), 1.31 (peak 7), 1.65 (peak 8).

[0013] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the peak trend of the citronellol reference reference refers to the fact that, compared with the citronellol herbal formula granules, the peak area of the citronellol herbal formula granules shows a decreasing trend. Therefore, compared with the characteristic spectrum of the identified citronellol herbal formula granules, if the peak area of the citronellol reference reference peak of the test sample is smaller, it is identified as the citronellol herbal formula granules; otherwise, it is identified as the citronellol herbal formula granules.
[0014] According to the present invention, in principle, the chromatographic peak with a relative retention time of 1.41 is used as the identification point for the traditional Chinese medicine formula granules of patchouli and wine patchouli, which is consistent with the identification result of the peak trend of the reference glutenin.
[0015] According to the present invention, if the identification result of the chromatographic peak with a relative retention time of 1.41 as the identification point of the traditional Chinese medicine formula granules of patchouli and wine patchouli is inconsistent with the identification result of the peak trend of the reference compound citrinin, then the result of the chromatographic peak with a relative retention time of 1.41 as the identification point of the traditional Chinese medicine formula granules of patchouli and wine patchouli shall be taken as the standard.

[0074] The results show that, under the experimental conditions of this invention, the wavelength of 330 nm provides a greater amount of chromatographic peak information and a more stable chromatographic baseline. Changing the wavelength will lead to a decrease in baseline stability, thus confirming the beneficial effect of this invention on wavelength selection.
[0075] 1.2 Wavelength Selection Based on the above-established experimental conditions, investigations were conducted on mobile phases of acetonitrile-1% phosphoric acid, acetonitrile-1% formic acid, and acetonitrile-1% acetic acid. The results are shown below. Figure 2 .
[0076] The results show that the sample has a better peak shape in the mobile phase of acetonitrile-1% acetic acid, and changing the mobile phase will not achieve the same technical effect as the present invention.
[0077] 1.3 Investigation of mobile phase concentration Based on the above-established experimental conditions, the concentration of mobile phase B was investigated using 0.1% acetic acid, 0.5% acetic acid, and 1% acetic acid solutions, respectively. The results are shown below. Figure 3 .
[0078] The results showed that the chromatogram peaks were relatively symmetrical only when the mobile phase B was a 1% acetic acid solution.
[0079] 1.4 Column Temperature and Flow Rate Investigation Based on the above-specified experimental conditions, the column temperature and flow rate were investigated, and the results are shown in the table below. Figure 4 .
[0080] Based on the analysis of the combined flow rate and column temperature results, the chromatogram peak shape was better and the baseline was more stable when the flow rate was 1.0 mL / min and the column temperature was 30℃. Other flow rates and column temperatures could not achieve the same technical effect as the present invention.
[0081] 1.5 Delayed Examination Based on the above-specified experimental conditions, a delay test was conducted. The results are shown below. Figure 5 .
[0082] The results showed that the sample had virtually no chromatographic peaks after 35 minutes, so the sample detection time was set at 35 minutes.
[0083] 1.6 Examination of Extraction Methods Take an appropriate amount of this product (Agastache rugosa granules), grind it into a fine powder, accurately weigh about 0.1g, place it in a stoppered conical flask, accurately add 10ml of methanol, seal tightly, weigh, and then sonicate (600W power, 40kHz frequency) and reflux for 20 minutes. Cool, weigh again, and replenish the lost weight with methanol. Shake well, filter, and collect the filtrate. See [link to product description]. Figure 6 .
[0084] The results showed that ultrasonic extraction and reflux extraction yielded consistent results for the test sample. Since ultrasonic extraction is simpler, it was chosen as the extraction method for the test sample.
[0085] 1.7 Investigation of Extraction Solvents Take an appropriate amount of this product (Agastache rugosa granules), grind it into a fine powder, take 0.1g, place it in a stoppered conical flask, add 10ml each of 30% methanol, 50% methanol, 80% methanol, and methanol, seal tightly, weigh, and sonicate (600W power, 40kHz frequency) for 20 minutes. Cool, weigh again, replenish the lost weight with the appropriate solvent, shake well, filter, and collect the filtrate. See [link to product description]. Figure 7 .
[0086] The results show that when methanol is used as the extraction solvent, the amount of chromatographic peak information is large and the chromatographic peak shape is good. Other concentrations of methanol solutions cannot achieve the same technical effect as the present invention.
[0087] 1.8 Sample Quantity Assessment Take an appropriate amount of this product (Agastache rugosa granules), grind it into a fine powder, and take 0.1g, 0.3g, and 0.5g respectively. Place them in a stoppered conical flask, add 10ml of methanol, seal tightly, weigh, and sonicate (600W power, 40kHz frequency) for 20 minutes. Cool, weigh again, and replenish the lost weight with methanol. Shake well, filter, and collect the filtrate. See [link to product description]. Figure 8 .
[0088] The results above show that the sample weight has no effect on the peak shape, and 0.3g was finally selected as the sample weight.
[0089] 2. Methodological Investigation 2.1 Chromatographic Peak Identification Preparation of the test solution: Prepare the test solution of the patchouli Chinese herbal medicine formula granules according to the experimental conditions proposed above.
[0090] Preparation of reference solutions: Take appropriate amounts of chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, rosmarinic acid, caffeic acid, piracetam, apigenin, and acetoxin reference standards respectively, accurately weigh them, and add methanol to prepare solutions containing 20 μg of each per ml, which are used as reference solutions.
[0091] The characteristic spectral peaks of the herbal formula granules containing patchouli were located, see [link / reference needed]. Figure 9 .
[0092] Depend on Figure 9 It can be seen that the test solution showed 8 peaks: peak 1 was neochlorogenic acid; peak 2 was chlorogenic acid; peak 3 was caffeic acid; peak 4 was rosmarinic acid; peak 5 was piracetaminoside; peak 6 was apigenin; and peak 9 was farnesin.
[0093] 2.2 Specificity Experiment Take the herbal formula granules of patchouli and prepare the test solution according to the method for preparing the test solution described in the characteristic spectrum determination method of Example 1 above.
[0094] Take maltodextrin and prepare a negative control solution according to the method for preparing the test solution described in the characteristic spectrum determination method of Example 1 above.
[0095] Take the piracetamine reference standard and prepare the reference solution according to the method for preparing the reference solution described in the characteristic spectrum determination method of Example 1 above.
[0096] Accurately pipette 10 µL each of the piperazine reference solution, negative control solution, and test solution into the liquid chromatograph, and determine the chromatographic conditions as described in the characteristic chromatogram determination method of Example 1. Results are shown below. Figure 10 .Depend on Figure 10 It can be seen that the characteristic curve of the patchouli herbal formula granules contains 9 chromatographic peaks (peaks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9). Among them, the chromatographic peak of the citrinin reference standard corresponds to peak 5 in the characteristic curve of the patchouli herbal formula granules, and the spectrum is similar. Figure 1 To, see Figure 11-12 In addition, the negative control showed no interference.
[0097] 2.3 Precision Test Prepare one sample solution according to the proposed experimental method, inject it six times consecutively, and calculate the retention time of each characteristic peak. See Table 2.
[0098] Table 2 Precision test - retention time
[0099] The results showed that the RSD of the retention time of each characteristic peak in the precision study was 0.03% to 0.15%, indicating that the method had good precision.
[0100] 2.4 Repeatability Test Six test solutions were prepared according to the proposed experimental method, and the relative retention times of each characteristic peak were measured and calculated. See Table 3.
[0101] Table 3 Repeatability test - relative retention time ratio
[0102] The results show that the RSD of the relative retention time of the characteristic peak is between 0.00% and 0.15%, and the method has good repeatability.
[0103] 2.5 Intermediate Precision Examination Based on the above-planned experimental conditions, two portions of the Huo Xiang herbal formula granules were accurately weighed by different personnel (A1, A2) at different times (T1, T2) to prepare test solutions. These solutions were then analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on instruments of the same model but different serial numbers (C1: Waters022, C2: Waters023). See [link / details]. Figure 13 Table 4.
[0104] Table 4 Intermediate Precision Study - Relative Retention Time Ratio
[0105] The results showed that when the test solution was prepared by different personnel at different times and measured on different instruments, the RSD of the relative retention time of each characteristic peak was 0.00%-0.24%. Different instruments had little effect on the relative retention time of the characteristic peaks, and the method had good intermediate precision.
[0106] 2.6 Column robustness test The same test sample was investigated using three different C18 columns. See Table 5. Figure 14 .
[0107] Table 5. Column robustness study - relative retention time
[0108] As shown in the figure above, different chromatographic columns exhibit peak drift, resulting in a wide range of RSDs for the relative retention times of the remaining characteristic peaks, from 0.00% to 13.58%. However, the number and shape of the characteristic peaks remain unchanged, indicating that the column has good robustness.
[0109] 2.7 Stability Prepare a test solution according to the experimental conditions outlined above, and measure the results at 0h, 3h, 6h, 9h, 15h, and 24h. See Table 6.
[0110] Table 6 Stability Study - Retention Time
[0111] The results showed that the RSD of the corresponding characteristic peak retention time was 0.05-0.49%, and the sample solution was stable within 24 hours.
[0112] 3. Verification of the characteristic spectrum of patchouli granules The Huoxiang Granules were inspected, and the retention times were calculated. The results are shown in Figure 15 , Table 7.
[0113] Table 7 Characteristic Chromatogram of Huoxiang Granules - Relative Retention Time
[0114] According to the principle of stable retention time, all batches of samples can be detected, and the peaks are relatively high, a total of 9 peaks with good repeatability were selected as characteristic peaks.
[0115] According to the principle of stable relative retention time, all batches of samples can be detected, and the peaks are relatively high, a total of 9 peaks with good durability, namely Peak 1, Peak 2, Peak 3, Peak 4, Peak 5, Peak 6, Peak 7, Peak 8, and Peak 9, were selected as characteristic peaks. Since the relative retention times of Peak 1 and Peak 2 are relatively small and the specified value range is relatively narrow, reference substances of reference standards were used for the determination of Peak 1 and Peak 2. The relative retention times of the remaining characteristic peaks are stable and within the range of the average value ± 10%. The RSD values of the relative retention times of each characteristic peak are relatively small. Therefore, only the specified values of the relative retention times are considered, and the specified value range of the relative retention time of each peak is tentatively set at ± 10%.
[0116] Using the Similarity Evaluation System for Traditional Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprints (2012 Edition), 4 batches of Huoxiang Granules were synthesized to establish a reference characteristic chromatogram of the characteristic chromatogram of Huoxiang Granules. See Figure 16 .
[0117] Verification of the Characteristic Chromatogram of Wine-processed Huoxiang Granules The Wine-processed Huoxiang Granules were inspected, and the retention times were calculated. The results are shown in Figure 17 , Table 8.
[0118] Table 8 Characteristic Chromatogram of Wine-processed Huoxiang Granules - Relative Retention Time
[0119] According to the present invention, in the characteristic chromatogram of the Wine-processed Huoxiang Granules, the peak at a relative retention time of 1.65 is named Peak No. 8 in the re-numbering order, without following the naming method of the peak at a relative retention time of 1.65 in the characteristic chromatogram of the Huoxiang Granules, and it is named Peak No. 9.
[0120] Comparison of the characteristic chromatograms of Huoxiang Granules and Wine-processed Huoxiang Granules is shown in Figure 18 .
[0121] The final specification stipulates that the chromatogram of the patchouli herbal formula granules should show 9 characteristic peaks. The peak corresponding to the reference peak of piracetam is designated as peak S (peak 5). The relative retention times of peaks 3-4, 6-9, and peak S should be calculated and should be within ±10% of the specified values. The specified values are: 0.31 (peak 3), 0.58 (peak 4), 1.25 (peak 6), 1.31 (peak 7), 1.41 (peak 8), and 1.65 (peak 9).
[0122] The results showed that only 8 chromatographic peaks with good stability and repeatability could be detected in the granules of the herbal formula of *Pogostemon cablin*. Among them, the 8 peaks that could be detected in the *Pogostemon cablin* granules, that is, the peaks with a relative retention time of 1.27, were all obvious and well separated. However, no obvious chromatographic peaks were detected in the granules of the herbal formula of *Pogostemon cablin*.
[0123] Meanwhile, compared with the processed product granules, the peak area of the processed product generally showed a decreasing trend. In conclusion, the chromatographic peak with a relative retention time of 1.27 and the trend of the S peak can both be used as identification points for the traditional Chinese medicine formula granules of patchouli and wine-processed patchouli, which is of great significance for studying the identification of the authenticity of patchouli and wine-processed patchouli granules.
[0124] Comparative Examples 1-4 The results were essentially the same as in Example 1, except that elution was performed according to the elution conditions listed in Table 9 (Comparative Example 1), Table 10 (Comparative Example 2), Table 11 (Comparative Example 3), and Table 12 (Comparative Example 4), respectively. The results are shown in the table below. Figure 19-22 This indicates that the elution procedure in Example 1 provides richer chromatographic peak information, optimal peak resolution, and a more stable baseline.
[0125] Table 9 Gradient elution conditions
[0126] Table 10 Gradient elution conditions
[0127] Table 11 Gradient elution conditions
[0128] Table 12 Gradient elution conditions
[0129] Based on the comparison between this application and Comparative Examples 1-4, it can be seen that the gradient elution time in this application is shorter, which is significantly better than that in Examples 1-4. At the same time, the mobile phase ratio is gradually adjusted according to the elution ability of different polar components, so that multiple components such as araliain, rosmarinic acid, and araliain can be well separated, with sharp peaks and no obvious tailing. It also avoids the difficulty of eluting certain components, residual contamination, or baseline drift under isocratic elution, making the baseline more stable and the interference of impurities less.
