高效液相色谱指纹图谱在地黄研究中的应用(Ⅰ)

长期以来,中药有效成分的提取分离和质量控制一直是中药产业中特有和尚未很好解决的问题.随着天然产物化学和现代仪器分析技术等相关学科的迅速发展,国内外在植物药及其制剂质量控制研究方面的重点均已转向利用各种仪器进行品质评价方面.中药来源于自然,其化学成分的多样性和复杂性是中药发挥其疗效的物质基础,同时也是质量评价与控制的重点与难点.中药的化学成分复杂,所体现的是综合效应和整体疗效.然而多年以来在中药的研究靠中,采取了与化学药品相同的研究思路,结果将药材及制剂内部各成分的综合作用和相互关系彼此孤立.在中药材及复方制剂质量标准的研究制定中,也往往是采用各种分析检测手段测定其中某种有效成分,并以其含量多少来判断比较某种药材的质量.这种质量控制模式很难做到全面衡量中药及其制剂的质量、疗效和稳定性.单一成分含量达标并不能说明该中药材质量合格.指纹图谱质量控制模式能综合反映某一特定药材各主要组分及其相对含量.因此它比测定任何一种或几种成分所提供的信息都丰富和有用的多.中药提取物在给定的实验条件下所得到色谱指纹图谱反映了该中药的化学组成及其含量分布状况,其特征峰可作为鉴别中药的依据.本文研究结果表明,利用色谱指纹图谱的相关参数来对中药原药材的质量进行控制,进而使中成药的质量得到保证,此方法的运用是切实可行的.另外,在有效成分不明确的前提下,利用色谱指纹图谱来评价中药的质量是有其意义的.色谱指纹图谱作为控制中药质量的新手段将在推进中药现代化进程上起到积极的作用.本文利用高效液相色谱建立了地黄的色谱指纹图谱.采用反相C18柱(5μm,150 mm×4.6 mm)、流动相甲醇:水(V/V=5:95)、检测波长为280 nm、流速1.0 mL/min进行试验.根据相对保留值和相对面积值对色谱指纹图谱进行分析对比研究,建立了控制地黄药材质量的新方法.该法为中药样品的鉴定提供了较全面的信息.     

中药指纹图谱研究的某些进展与展望

在中药现代化的过程中,中药的质量控制标准直接影响到中药的国际化问题。近年来,国内很多学者对中药指纹图谱用于质量控制的问题进行了深入的研究,取得了很多成果。本文着重就近几年来中药指纹图谱的某些进展进行了综述,内容包括气相色谱指纹图谱、液相色谱指纹图谱以及其他指纹图谱。最后就指纹图谱研究的发展提出了几点看法。共引用文献161篇。

从整体论、系统论和复杂科学的角度论述了中药指纹图谱学体系的构成背景和核心任务。中药指纹图谱学体系具有体系科学性质,是从系统性和整体性角度研究中药(包括植物药)的物质基础和作用机制以及药代动力学规律和相关制剂技术的崭新学科。该体系以中药指纹图谱信息学为核心和桥梁,包括中药指纹图谱测试学、中药指纹图谱质控学、中药指纹图谱谱效学、中药指纹药物动力学、中药指纹药剂学和中药生物指纹图谱学。该体系的研究需采用复杂科学和体系科学的理论和方法,突破线性思维和还原分析,强调宏观和系统的有机综合,应用数学科学原理和方法来开辟中药创制的新模式。中药指纹图谱学的理论体系和方法是解析中药的主导技术和实现中药现代化的核心力量,该体系理论和技术的成熟及完善可为现代中药创制提供强有力的理论和技术支撑。中药指纹图谱学体系的最终目的是为人类和有益生物研制出疗效显著、安全、可控的现代化中药。     

中药指纹图谱技术研究现状

中药指纹图谱特指中药样本经光谱或色谱等现代分析技术得到的中药各组分群体特征的图谱或图象。凭借实用的指纹图谱既可确认中药材或中药制剂的真伪,同时又能判断其质量的稳定与否。本文对中药指纹图谱技术研究领域内的国内外现状及主要技术进行了综述。     

Qualitative and quantitative analysis in quality control of traditional Chinese medicines

Separation techniques with high efficiency and sensitive detection have been widely used for quality control of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). High-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis are commonly used to separate various components in TCMs. Ultraviolet detection, fluorescence detection, evaporative light-scattering detection, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance can be applied to separation techniques for qualitative and quantitative analysis of TCMs. The development of quality control for TCMs based on quantitative and qualitative analysis from 2000 to 2007 are reviewed; the fingerprint technique is also discussed due to its broad application in the quality control of TCMs. Prospects for further research based on our primary results are also discussed.

Recent applications of capillary electrophoresis in the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine

Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) are generally mixtures of herbal plants or extracts which comprise hundreds of different constituents with widely difference in the content and physiochemical properties. In order to analyze bioactive compounds in TCMs and control the quality, a large number of analytical tools have been developed, among which capillary electrophoresis (CE) has become a powerful technique with increasing importance. Some formats of CE, including capillary zone electrophoresis, micellar electrokinetic chromatography, non-aqueous CE and capillary electrochromatography have been widely employed for the analysis of TCMs. The general characteristics of these formats are briefly described, and their applications to the analysis of TCMs during the past five years are summarized.

Recent analytical approaches in quality control of traditional Chinese medicines—A review

Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) are gaining more and more attention all over the world, due to their specific theory and long historical clinical practice. But the uncontrollable quality is a bottleneck for its modernization and globalization. This paper reviewed the recent analytical methods in the quality control of TCMs, including screening strategies of bioactive markers from TCMs through biochromatographic methods, the traditional chromatographic methods, DNA methods, as well as the spectroscopic methods, including FT-IR, NIR and NMR. The comprehensive methods, such as fingerprint and multi-component quantification are emphasized; hyphenated techniques, like HPLC-MS, GC-MS, CE-MS, LC-NMR, chemometric methods, and combination of chemical and biological methods, such as biofingerprint, metabolic fingerprint are now more and more widely used in TCMs. In a few word, the analysis and quality control of TCMs are moving towards an integrative and comprehensive direction, in order to better address the inherent holistic nature of TCMs.     

Fingerprint analysis of Ligusticum chuanxiong using hydrophilic interaction chromatography and reversed-phase liquid chromatography

Fingerprint analysis is considered one of the most powerful approaches to quality control in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). In this study, a binary chromatographic fingerprint analysis was developed using hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) and reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) to gain more chemical information about polar compounds and weakly polar compounds. This method was used to construct a chromatographic fingerprint of Ligusticum chuanxiong. The two chromatographic methods demonstrated good precision, reproducibility, and stability, with relative standard deviations of <2% for retention time and 7% for peak area for both HILIC and RPLC separations. Data from the analysis of 14 samples by HILIC and RPLC were processed with similarity analysis, with correlation coefficients and congruence coefficients. This binary fingerprint analysis, using two chromatographic modes, is a powerful tool for characterizing the quality of samples, and can be used for the comprehensive quality control of TCMs.     

Chromatographic fingerprinting and related chemometric techniques for quality control of traditional Chinese medicines

Development of chromatographic fingerprint (CF) and related chemometric methods and their applications to quality control of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) were discussed. CF is essentially a kind of quality control method for TCMs (or Chinese herbal medicines). Also, it is a quality‐relevant‐data high‐throughput and integral tool to explore chemically the complexity of TCMs. With the help of chemometrics, some difficulties in evaluation and analysis of CFs, such as calculation of information content, peak alignment, pattern analysis, deconvolution of overlapping peaks, etc. could be well solved. To further explore TCMs synergic quality, intensive study of CF coupled with chemometrics will create the possibility to achieve the aim to reveal the working mechanisms of TCMs and to further control and strengthen TCMs' intrinsic quality in a comprehensive manner.     

Binding study of Flos Lonicerae Japonicae with bovine serum albumin using centrifugal ultrafiltration and liquid chromatography

The screening and analysis of bioactive components in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) is very important not only for the quality control of Chinese herbs but also for elucidating the therapeutic principles. This study developed a new method for screening and analyzing bioactive compounds from TCMs using centrifugal ultrafiltration coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography. The method was successfully applied in the binding study of Flos Lonicerae Japonicae with bovine serum albumin (BSA), and 11 compounds were found to be bound with the BSA. Eight of them were positively identified as chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rutin, quercetin-3-O-glucoside, luteolin-7-O-glucoside, lonicerin, 3, 5-di-O-caffeoyl quinic acid and 3,4-di-O-caffeoyl quinic acid. Another three compounds were tentatively identified as two isomers of chlorogenic acid and one isomer of di-O-caffeoyl quinic acid by comparing the UV data and MS data with the previous reports. Based on modern pharmacological study, these compounds are the major bioactive components in Lonicera japonica. Therefore, the proposed method could be a good approach to predicting the potential bioactivities of multiple compounds in TCMs simultaneously.
