ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the HPLC fingerprint of Ershen Pills extracted with petroleum ether, which contains Psoraleae Fructus (PF) before and after processing, and initially set up the pattern recognition technique of the extract, so as to provide reference for quality control. Methods HPLC was used, and the separation was performed at 30 ℃ on an Spolar Hplc Packed C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm). Gradient elution was performed with the mobile phases of methanol-acetonitrile (1:1) and water containing 0.1% formic acid. The flow rate was 1 mL/min, and sample size was 10 μL. The UV detection wavelength was set at 210 nm. Furthermore, the fingerprint was analyzed by similarity analysis, as well as pattern recognition technique, including hierarchical clustering analysis and principal component analysis. Results The fingerprints were established respectively consisting of 28 common peaks well separated. There into, six compounds were identified (psoralen, isopsoralen, methyleugenol, methylisoeugenol, dehydrodiisoeugenol, and backuchiol). Compared with the reference spectrum, the similarity degrees were greater than 0.9. When dealing with principal component analysis, the samples were well divided into two categories, which was consistent with the principal component analysis. Meanwhile, the results of principal component analysis prompted some chromatographic peaks which could be used to distinguish between two species. Conclusion The method is stable and reliable, which can be used for quality control of Ershen Pills extracted with petroleum ether. Meanwhile, it is contributing to the entire quality control and quality evaluation when combined with chemical pattern recognition.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the determining contents of 2 lignan components[dehydrodiisoeugenol and 2,3-dihydro-7-methoxy-2-(3,4-methylened ioxyphenyl)-3-methyl-5-(E)-propenyl-benzofuran(referred to“lignanoid 2”)]. METH-ODS:HPLC method was adopted. The column was Elite C18 with the mobile phase of water-methanol(gradient elution)at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min;the detection wavelength was 225 nm and the column temperature was 30 ℃. The sample size was 20 μl. RE-SULTS:There was a good linear relationship between sample quantity and the peak area in the range of 0.202-2.02 μg(r=0.999 9) and 0.204-2.04 μg(r=0.999 9)for 2 lignan components. The RSD of precision,stability and repeatability tests were less than 2%with the average recovery of 101.54%(RSD=0.60%,n=6)and 99.43%(RSD=1.09%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,sensitive and accurate,and can be used for the quantization determination of dehydrodiisoeugenol and lignanoid 2 in nut-meg-5.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To optimize the ethanol extraction process of Psoraleae Fructus-Myristicae Semen (psoralen-nutmeg) drug pair. Methods: Using L9(34) orthogonal design, the effects of ethanol concentration, ethanol amount, extraction time, and extraction times on the extraction process were investigated. The contents of psoralen, isopsoralen, and dehydrodiisoeugenol, dry extract yield, and total area of HPLC fingerprint characteristic peaks were used as comprehensive evaluation indexes. Results: The optimum process conditions were as follows: 50% ethanol, six times of the ethanol volume, extracted for three times, each time for 2 h. Conclusion: The method provides the basis for the determination of ethanol extraction process of Psoraleae Fructus-Myristicae Semen drug pair.
