基于定量指纹图谱技术的中药质量控制

定量指纹图谱技术是中药指纹图谱技术与多指标成分定量分析相结合的中药质量控制模式。定量指纹图谱技术的发展包括定量组分的制备、过程控制的指纹图谱技术和产品含量测定3个主要部分。本文以丹参为例,通过水提、醇沉、过膜、大孔树脂分离和工业色谱分离5个工艺流程制备了丹参定量组分,对各个工艺步骤以指纹图谱技术考察其稳定性和重复性。对丹参定量组分中的原儿茶醛、迷迭香酸、丹酚酸B 3个成分进行含量测定。3个成分的含量总和大于50%。定量组分的制备以现有的活性成分为目标,经过去粗存精的工艺过程,其质量标准得到了有效的提高。

Determination of antibiotic residues in honey

Honey produced by honeybees is a valuable food product. The presence of xenobiotics in honey may harm its quality and constitute a danger to human health. Antibiotics are commonly applied by beekeepers to eliminate disease among honeybees. Moreover, ubiquitous administration of antibiotics may cause bacteria to become resistant to many drugs and spread antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Appropriate sample preparation and determination of antibiotics at very low concentrations in foodstuffs are real analytical challenges. This article reviews analytical methods used for determination of residues of different sorts of antibiotic in honey and other honeybee products.     

HPLC Fingerprint with Multi-components Analysis for Quality Consistency Evaluation of Traditional Chinese Medicine Si-Mo-Tang Oral Liquid Preparation

Si-Mo-Tang(SMT) oral liquid preparation, a traditional Chinese medicine, was prepared from four crude herbal drugs, Fructus Aurantii Submaturus, Radix Aucklandiae, Semen Arecae and Radix Linderae Aggregatae. A combinative method using HPLC fingerprint and quantitative analysis was developed and validated for quality consistency evaluation of SMT. Individual HPLC chromatograms were evaluated against the mean chromatogram generated via a similarity evaluation computer program. Data from chromatographic fingerprints were also processed with principal component analysis(PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis(HCA). Additionally, six components (naringin, isonaringin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, norisoboldine and potassium sorbate) in SMT were simultaneously determined to interpret the quality consistency. For fingerprint analysis, 20 peaks were selected as the characteristic peaks to evaluate the similarities of 26 SMT collected from different manufacturers. Among the 20 characteristic peaks, 10 peaks were assigned to be naringin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, isonaringin, neoeriocitrin, tangeretin, nobiletin, norisoboldine, 5-(ethoxymethyl)furan-2-carbaldehyde and potassium sorbate, respectively. The results of similarity analysis, PCA and HCA, indicate that the samples from different manufacturers were consistent with each other in composition. The results from the quantitative data show that the contents of six compounds were significantly different in SMT oral liquid preparations from different manufacturers. The combinative method of chromatographic fingerprint with quantitative analysis developed here offered an efficient way for the quality consistency evaluation of the traditional Chinese medicine SMT.     

Quantifying temperature and flow rate effects on the performance of a fixed-bed chromatographic reactor

Chromatographic reactors are based on coupling chemical reactions with chromatographic separation in fixed-beds. Temperature and flow rate are important parameters for the performance of such reactors. Temperature affects mainly adsorption, chemical equilibria, mass transfer and reaction kinetics, whereas flow rate influences residence time and dispersion. In order to evaluate the mentioned effects, the hydrolysis reactions of methyl formate (MF) and methyl acetate (MA) were chosen as case studies. These reactions were performed experimentally in a lab-scale fixed-bed chromatographic reactor packed with a strong acidic ion exchange resin. The chosen reactions can be considered to represent a relative fast (MF) and a relative slow (MA) reaction. The processes which take place inside the reactor were described and simulated using an isothermal equilibrium dispersive model. The essential model parameters were determined experimentally at different temperatures and flow rates. The performance of the chromatographic reactor was evaluated at several discrete constant temperature levels by quantifying product purity, productivity and yield. The work provides insight regarding the influence of temperature and flow rate on values of the model parameters and the performance criteria.     

Effects of Immobilized Metal Ion on Retention Behaviors of Proteins in Metal Chelate Affinity Chromatography

The chromatographic behaviors of proteins on iminodiacetic acid (IDA) column with and without immobilized metal ion were examined in detail. Comparing the effects of pI, solution pH, and salt concentration on retention of proteins in cation‐exchange chromatography (CEC) and metal chelate affinity chromatography (MCAC), the retention mechanism of proteins was investigated in MCAC. By aid of observing the retention characteristics of proteins on naked IDA and metal chelate columns in high concentration salt‐out salt solution, the hydrophobic interaction in MCAC and the influence of metal ion on it were proved. In terms of the comparison of the thermodynamics of proteins in CEC and MCAC, the thermostability, the conformational change entropy Δ(ΔS⁰) and enthalpy Δ(ΔH⁰), compensation temperature β, the driving force and caloritic effect of proteins in MCAC were discussed. The identity of retention mechanism at protein thermal denaturation in CEC and MCAC was demonstrated by using the compensation relationship between ΔH⁰ and ΔS⁰.
