RESUMEN
This study aimed at investigating the drug preparation of precise powder decoction pieces (PPDP) system,Fallopia multiflora radix preparata (FMRP) was employed in this study.Different specifications of PPDP were prepared,their extract rates were in contrast with the original pieces.Compared the quality uniformity of three batches between FMRP original slices and its PPDP extraction,the similarity of the chemical fingerprints was evaluated,and the contents of common peaks and quality uniformity were compared by relative peak areas.ITS2 sequence was taken as a DNA barcode to identify F.multiflora radix (FMR).As a result,the extract rate of PPDP was 2.5 times as much as the original slices.The average content of stilbene glucoside from the three original slices and the PPDP extraction were 3.56 ± 2.61 and 13.23 ± 0.37 mg·g-1,respectively;while the RSD were 73.28％ and 2.82％.The similarity of the fingerprints of the PPDP extraction was almost the same as that of the original slices,but the content and the uniformity of the common peaks of the PPDP extraction were significantly improved.Thus,FMR was accurately identified using ITS2 sequences.It was concluded that the PPDP considerably improve the decocting rate and quality uniformity,indicating that PPDP could save resources and improve the clinical efficacy.
RESUMEN
Objective To compare the effects of two crushing methods on dissolution rate and decocting rate of water-soluble protein in Plastrum Testudinis.Methods The dissolution rate of water-soluble protein was compared in Plastrum Testudinis processed by the traditional crushing method(passing 100-eyes screen,fine powder)and ultra-fine crushing method(passing 300-eye screen,ultra-fine powder);besides,orthogonal design was applied to study the process technical condition of decocting rate in Plastrum Testudinis.Results Water-soluble protein in fine powder of Plastrum Testudinis was hardly detected while the dissolution rate of water-soluble protein in ultra-fine powder was 51.2 %in 20 minutes and up to 70.5 %at 2 hours.Three influencing factors of fineness,decocting frequencies and decocting time were measured with orthogonal test.The results of variance analysis showed that fineness significantly influenced the decocting rate(P .05).Conclusion The ultra-fine powder technique is propitious to the increase of dissolution rate and decocting rate of water-soluble protein in Plastrum Testudinis.
