RESUMO
As known,simultaneous determination of various chemical indicators is one of the future trends in quality control of traditional Chinese medicines because of the extremely complex chemical compositions. This project is to screen the quality markers that can accurately control the quality of the Bufonis Venenum by exploring the intrinsic correlation of components. In this study,venom of Bufo bufo gargarizans from 17 different sources were used as research samples,and the contents of 7 bufogenin were determined by HPLC-DAD. Then,the data obtained were analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis and principal component analysis( PCA). In addition,a stepwise regression analysis was used to establish a predictive model for the contents of the seven bufogenin components( independent variable) and the total contents of the bufogenin( dependent variable). The results indicated that there is a significant positive correlation between the contents of telocinobufagin and cinobufotalin,and there is a significant positive correlation between the contents of bufalin,cinobufagin and resibufogenin. In contrast,the contents of telocinobufagin and cinobufotalin are negatively correlated with the contents of bufalin,cinobufagin and resibufogenin. However,the correlation between gamabufotalin and bufotalin and other components are not obvious. Furthermore,further study found that there is a correlation between the sum of the contents of bufalin,cinobufagin and telocinobufagin and the total contents of the bufogenin. In fact,the application of bufalin,cinobufagin and telocinobufagin as the quality control indicators of the Bufonis Venenum can better reflect the quality characteristics of the Bufonis Venenum compared with the previous quality control indicators. The conclusions will provide a reference for the revision of the quality standards of the Bufonis Venenum.

Extraction of the four Chinese herbals is the beginning step of the production process of coldrine granules and influences on drug quality significantly. In this paper, the on-line near infrared spectrum was collected during the extraction process of coldrine and then pre-processed by the first derivative. Partial least square regression (PLSR) model was developed for the quantity indicators of linarin, chlorogenic acid and solid content, according to results of both HPLC and weight-loss as reference methods. The correlation coefficient, root mean square error of cross-validation (RMSECV), root mean square error of calibration (RMSEC) and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) were used to optimize model parameters and confirm their performance. Correlation coefficients of three quality control indicator models reached more than 0.95.Values of RMSEC of linarin, chloroenic acid and solid content were 0.010 4, 0.009 34 and 0.055 5, respectively. And the values of RMSEP were 0.009 47, 0.142 and 0.008 42, respectively. The models, built on-line analyze data, revealed that the correlation coefficients of predicted values and measured values were greater than 0.97 and values of RSEP of linarin, chloroenic acid and solid content were 8.14%, 8.17% and 9.86%, respectively. The results showed that the NIR method could achieve the on-line detection and real-time monitoring of multi-indexes during the extraction process of coldrine. The technology could be used for drug quality control in the process of practical production, reducing the batch differences and ensuring pharmaceutical quality stability. In addition, it could provide real-time production data for subsequent product quality backtracking.
RESUMO
Ganmaoling granule, with annual sale of over one billion yuan, is the first brand of domestic cold medicine sales. As the only traditonal Chinese medicine(TCM) quality control indicator of Ganmaoling granule, linarin is thermally unstable. Its content will be changed significantly during the production process, which would then affect the quality of the finished product. In this paper, the law of degradation of linarin was investigated. The experimental results showed that degradation reaction of linarin belongs to the first reaction characteristics. The effective methods to reduce the loss of linarin would be realized fortunately by strictly controlling the heating temperature or shortening the heating time.
RESUMO
Ganmaoling granule is the first brand of domestic cold medicine sales, but its preparation method and process control parameters are relatively rough. Therefore it is urgent to upgrade the technologies of large varieties of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). This paper focused on the balance between the remove of impurity and the retention of linarin during the process of alcohol precipitation of Ganmaoling granules. The effects of four factors on the process were investigated via single factor experiments. The results showed that the precipitating period, the initial ethanol concentration and the final ethanol concentration had a great effect on retention of linarin while the initial density of the extract has not. Similarly, the initial ethanol concentration, the final ethanol concentration and the initial extract density have a great effect on the yield of dry extract while the time of alcohol precipitation has not. The parameters of alcohol precipitation of Ganmaoling granules were optimized as 16 h of precipitating period, 95% ethanol as the initial reagent, 70% of the final ethanol concentration, and 1.10 of the initial extract density.
