The aim of this study was to the prepare the standard decoction of paeoniae radix rubra for its investigation of quality standard.The standard decoction of paeoniae radix rubra was dissolved by water using standardization method and the content of peoniflorin was determined by UPLC-DAD.Then the transfer rate and the rate of extractum were calculated,and the fingerprint analysis was carried out.As a result,the content of the standard decoction of paeonia lactiflora ranged from 3.79 to 5.68 mg·mL-1 from 15 paeoniflorin batches,while the transfer rate ranged from 56.58% to 90.14%,and the average transfer rate was 73.97% and the standard deviation was 10.91%.The rate of extractum ranged from 16.74% to 29.24%,the average yield was 21.82% and the standard deviation was 3.55%.There were eleven common peaks,four of which were identified,including oxypaeoniflorin,albiflorin,paeoniflorin and benzoylpaeoniflorin.In conclusion,it was demonstrated that the method was simple with good repeatability for the preparation and quality standard studies of the standard decoction of paeoniae radix rubra.

To establish the quality control methods for the standard decoction of Forsythiae Fructus. Twelve batches of representative Forsythiae Fructus were collected to prepare standard decoction of Forsythiae Fructus, and then the parameters such as extraction ratio, transfer rate of the index components and pH value of the solution were calculated to evaluate the stability of the process. The simultaneous determination method of target components and fingerprint method were established, and ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was used to identify the main common peaks in the fingerprint to clarify the main chemical constituents in the decoction. The similarities of the fingerprints of standard decoction of Forsythiae Fructus were more than 0.9. The average extraction ratio of the standard decoction of Forsythiae Fructus was (15.53±6.27)%, and the transfer rate of forsythiaside A was(38.0±10.2)%. The method for evaluating the quality of standard decoction of Forsythiae Fructus was presented, providing reference for the quality control of products stemmed from the water extract of Forsythiae Fructus, with high similarity and uniform quality.

Decoction of single medicinal herb is a reference for the standardization of different dosage forms of Chinese medicine and it provides a new direction for solving the problems existing in the quality of Chinese medicinal granules such as no uniform dosage form and no clear quality standard. In this paper, the quality evaluation method of standard decoction of rhubarb was established to provide reference for the quality control of common dosage forms such as clinical decoction and formula granule. 10 batches of representative Rhei Radix et Rhizoma were collected to establish UPLC fingerprints were established. The chemical structures of main peaks were identified with ultra-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) and the main components in the decoction were Anthraquinones. The extraction ratio of the standard decoction was (28.1±3.8)% and the transfer rate was (19.9±6.3)%. The method for the quality evaluation of standard decoction of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma was established in this study, providing reference for the quality control method of terminal products from decoction of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma.

Objective:To study the dry extract rate,determination and transfer rate of maker compounds,fingerprint and others of standard decoction of Chrysanthemi Indici Flos and provide basic data for the preparation of this standard decoction and its dispensing granules by establishing 15 batches of standard decoction of Chrysanthemi Indici Flos from 5 different places. Method:The standard decoction of Chrysanthemi Indici Flos was prepared based on the traditional decoction process,the content of linarin was determined by UPLC-DAD,the transfer rate of this composition was calculated,the fingerprint was drawn,the extract powder was prepared by vacuum drying,and the dry extract rate was calculated. Result:The concentration of linarin in 15 batches of standard decoction of Chrysanthemi Indici Flos was 0.19-0.74 g·L-1,the transfer rate of linarin was 21.95%-66.23%,its average transfer rate was 37.12% with RSD of 11.8%,the pH value was 5.1-5.5,the range of dry extract rate was 24.7%-32.5%,the average dry extract rate was 27.87% with RSD of 2.4%.There were 9 major common peaks in the fingerprint and 2 peaks(No. 2 and No. 9) were confirmed,such as chlorogenic acid and linarin. Conclusion:The preparation method in this research conforms to the traditional decoction method and is stable and feasible.It can be used for the preparation and quality evaluation of standard decoction of Chrysanthemi Indici Flos.

This paper discusses the research situation of the standard decoction of medicinal slices at home and abroad. Combined with the experimental data, the author proposes that the standard decoction of medicinal slices is made of single herb using standard process which should be guided by the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, based on clinical practice and referred to modern extraction method with a standard process. And the author also proposes the principles of establishing the specification of process parameters and quality standards and established the basis of drug efficacy material and biological reference. As a standard material and standard system, the standard decoction of medicinal slices can provide standards for clinical medication, standardize the use of the new type of medicinal slices especially for dispensing granules, which were widely used in clinical. It can ensure the accuracy of drugs and consistency of dose, and to solve current supervision difficulties. Moreover the study of standard decoction of medicinal slices will provide the research on dispensing granules, traditional Chinese medicine prescription standard decoction and couplet medicines standard decoction a useful reference.
