ABSTRACT
Objective To optimize extraction technology for Sihuang Shaoshang ointment by orthogonal test,and establish the HPLC fingerprint of Sihuang Shaoshang ointment to provide references for the quality evaluation of the preparation.Methods Taking Sihuang Shaoshang ointment as the model drug,the fingerprints were established by HPLC method,the common peak areas were analyzed by principal component analysis,and the total factor scores were used as the evaluation index.The technological parameters such as extraction times,extraction time and liquid-solid ratio were optimized by orthogonal test,and the optimal extraction process parameters were screened out.Results The common mode of fingerprint was set up with 12 common peaks and the two principle components with the accumulative contribution rate of 84.751% extracted by principal component analysis were screened out to calculate the comprehensive scores of 9 samples.The optimal extraction process was as follows:10-fold amount of water,extracting 3 times,and extracting 2 h for each time.Conclusion The established method is simple and effective,which can provide a reference for the extraction process optimization of Sihuang Shaoshang ointment.
