Screening and Optimization of the Extraction Technology of Total Flavonoids in Persimmon Leaves by Semi-bionic-enzyme Method / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To screen the method for extracting total flavonoids in persimmon leaves and optimize extraction tech-nology. METHODS:Using extract quality and flavonoids content as indexes,the effects of extracting total flavonoids in persim-mon leaves by ethanol refluxing method,enzyme method(cellulase,β-glucanase and complex enzyme mixed by equal amounts of both),semi-bionic method and semi-bionic-enzyme method (the same enzymes) were compared. Using flavonoids content as in-dex,solid-liquid radio,reflux temperature,reflux time as factors,orthogonal test was designed to optimize the extraction technolo-gy conditions of flavonoids in persimmon leaves by semi-bionic-enzyme method,and the verification test was conducted. RE-SULTS:The extract quantity and flavonoids content by semi-bionic-enzyme method was the highest among the 4 extraction meth-ods,and the complex enzyme was the most suitable;the optimized extracting condition of semi-bionic-enzyme method were as fol-lows as solid-liquid radio of 1:14,reflux temperature of 50 ℃,reflux time of 2.0 h;extraction rates of flavonoids in 3 verification tests were 5.9%,5.8%,5.9%(RSD=0.98%,n=3). CONCLUSIONS:The optimized semi-bionic-enzyme method is efficient and stable in extracting flavonoids in persimmon leaves.

Comprehensive analysis of chemical constituents in Xingxiong injection by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry / 中国天然药物

Xingxiong injection (XXI) is a widely used Chinese herbal formula prepared by the folium ginkgo extract and ligustrazine for the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Compared with the pharmacological studies, chemical analysis and quality control studies on this formula are relatively limited. In the present study, a high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-QTOF MS) method was applied to comprehensive analysis of constituents in XXI. According to the fragmentation rules and previous reports, thirty ginkgo flavonoids, four ginkgo terpene lactones, and one alkaloid were identified. A high performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (HPLC-QQQ MS) method was then applied to quantify ten major constituents in XXI. The method validation results indicated that the developed method had desirable specificity, linearity, precision and accuracy. The total contents of ginkgo flavonoids were about 22.05-25.51 μg·mL(-1) and the ginkgo terpene lactones amounts were about 4.41-8.70 μg·mL(-1) in six batches of XXI samples, respectively. Furthermore, cosine ratio algorithm and distance measurements were employed to evaluate the similarity of XXI samples, and the results demonstrated a high-quality consistency. This work could provide comprehensive information on the quality control of Xingxiong injection, which be helpful in the establishment of a rational quality control standard.

Optimization of Extract Technology of Total Favonoids in Fruit of Polygonum viviparum L.by Orthogonal Experiment / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the extract technology of the total Favonoids from the fruits of Polygonum viviparum L.METHODS: The content of Flavonoids was computed with rutin as standard substance, and the influence of different factors and levels on the extract technology were investigated by means of simple factor experiment and orthogonal experiment. RESULTS: The optimum extraction technology was as follows: with water-bath temperature at 80℃, the ratio of liquid to solid material at 8∶1 and the concentration of ethanol at 50%, reflux extracting total Favonoids twice(1 h at each time). Under this condition, the content of total Flavonoids was 9.6%. CONCLUSION: The extraction method is appropriate, simple and feasible, and it provided theoretic basis for the production of this product.
