ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a quantitative analysis of multi-components with single marker (QAMS) for the simultaneous determination of chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenin acid, caffeic acid, hyperoside, isoquercitrin, astragalin, kaempferol in crude and processed Cuscuta australis, which is proved to be a scientific and feasible method in the quality analysis in C. australis. Methods Six relative correction factors (RCFs) of chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenin acid, caffeic acid, isoquercitrin, astragalin, kaempferol was established in the HPLC method with the hyperoside as the internal standard (IS), which was to calculate the mass fraction of each. The mass fraction of seven effective constituents in crude and processed C. australis was calculated by the external standard method (ESM) at the same time. Compared with the content results determined by the ESM and QAMS, the feasibility and accuracy of QAMS method were verified. Results The relative correction factor (RCF) was perfect. The detection calculated by QAMS was consistent with the results by ESM. Conclusion The method with a single marker, using the hyperoside as IS, is accurate and feasible for the quantitative analysis of six other effective constituents in C. australis.
ABSTRACT
Objective: The calibration models were developed in the concentration of alcohol precipitation proee for Artemisiae Annuae Herba (AAH) and Lonicerae Flos (LF) in Reduning Injection (RI) to realize the on-line monitoring of production process. Methods: Based on the near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS), partial least regression (PLS) models were developed to fast measure the contents of neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, and 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid in the concentration of the alcohol precipitation proee for AAH and LF. Results: In the quantitative models of neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, and 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid, the coefficient of determination (R2) of cross validation sets were 0.954 5, 0.975 2, and 0.969 1; The root mean square errors of calibration (RMSEC) were 0.213, 0.676, and 0.225; The root mean square errors of cross-validation (RMSECV) were 0.233, 0.692, and 0.258. When the established models were applied to on-line monitoring, the coefficient of determination of neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, and 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid were 0.984 2, 0.983 7, and 0.987 0, the residual predictive deviation (RPD) were 4.77, 5.29, and 4.37; The relative standard errors of prediction (RSEP) were 3.519%, 3.778%, and 3.895%. Conclusion: The models above are proved to fast measure the contents of neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, and 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid in the concentration of alcohol precipitation proee for AAH and LF in RI.
ABSTRACT
To optimize the alcohol precipitation process for Lonicerae Flos and Artemisiae Annuae Herba (LA) in Reduning Injection and obtain the relationship equation of the key process parameters and quality attributes, which could provided a theoretical basis of the control automization in the alcohol precipitation process. With the transfer rates of neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenin acid, caffeic acid, secoxyloganin and solid content in precipitation liquid as evaluation indexes, the effect of the seven factors, such as relative density and the temperature of LA in liquid phase before alcohol precipitation, alcohol concentration in the end of alcohol precipitation, stirring speed in alcohol precipitation, adding alcohol speed, standing temperature, and standing time, on the alcohol precipitation process was investigated by the single factor experiment. By analysis of variance, the key factors that could influence the alcohol precipitation process were determined. Then the range of parameters of key factors was further studied and explored by Box-Behnken response surface methodology. The optimum preparation conditions of the alcohol precipitation process of LA were as follows: stirring speed was 550 r/min, adding alcohol speed was 4.0 mL/s, standing temperature was 30℃, standing time was 24 h, alcohol concentration was 75%, the relative density of LA was 1.10, and the temperature of LA was 25℃. Under these conditions, the transfer rates of neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and secoxyloganin were 94.8%, 97.6%, 97.4%, 97.2%, and 96.1%, and the solid content was 4.2%. The alcohol precipitation process of LA have been optimized by the response surface method, which could help to enhance the stability of the process.
