The invention discloses a method for simultaneously identifying an
ipomoea batatas medicinal material and a preparation thereof, and relates to the technical field of
quality control of traditional Chinese medicines. The thin-layer identification method comprises the following steps: (1) taking the
traditional Chinese medicine preparation containing the
schisandra propinqua as a to-be-detected sample, adding an
ethanol solution, performing ultrasonic treatment, filtering, evaporating filtrate to
dryness, dissolving residues in an acidic
aqueous solution, extracting with
petroleum ether, removing a
petroleum ether layer, adjusting the pH value of an acid
aqueous solution, filtering, extracting filtrate with
ethyl acetate, merging
ethyl acetate layers, evaporating to
dryness, and concentrating to obtain a sample; adding
methanol into the residues for dissolving to obtain a
test solution; (2) preparing an
ipomoea batatas medicinal material solution, a reference medicinal material solution and an
ipomoea batatas
negative sample solution; and (3) respectively dripping the four solutions on a thin-layer plate, developing with a developing
solvent,
drying and inspecting. The thin-layer identification method disclosed by the invention not only can identify a single medicinal material of the ipomoea batatas, but also can better identify the
Chinese patent medicine compound preparation, is good in
component separation degree, free from interference and short in identification time, and reduces the production and inspection cost.
