RESUMO
Objective: To determine the optimal preparation conditions for Huangmai granules. Methods: Using single factor screening method and orthogonal design method, the extraction process and granulation process were optimized. Results:The optimal preparation process was as follows:the medicinal materials in the prescription were extracted 3 times with 8-fold amount of water with 2h for each time. The water extract was combined followed by vacuum concentration, and then dried to obtain dry extract. The powder of dry extract was evenly mixed with dextrin at appropriate amount, and the wet granules were prepared with the 40% ethanol followed by drying and size stabilization to obtain the products. Conclusion:The selected preparation process is scientific, reasonable and sta-ble, and suitable for the industrial production.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the quality control of Huangmai granules and provide reference for the qual-ity control. METHODS:TLC was conducted to identify the Leguminosae in Huangmai granules and HPLC was used to determine the contents of icariin,hyperin and stilbene glycoside in Huangmai granules. RESULTS:The spots on TLC plates were clear with good reproducibility. The results of HPLC showed that the linear range was 9.969-319.0 μg/ml(r=0.999 9) for icariin , 12.3-196.8 μg/ml(r=0.999 9)for hyperin and 12.64-202.2 μg/ml(r=0.999 8)for stilbene glycoside;RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were all no more than 2.92%;the average recoveries were respectively 95.44%(RSD=1.46%,n=6), 101.06%(RSD=1.90%,n=6)and 100.51%(RSD=1.73%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,reproducible,accu-rate and reliable,and can be used for the quality control of Huangmai granules.
