Abstract:
Objective:To establish the quality standard of Galla Turcica standard decoction; To provide a reference for the quality evaluation of its decoction granules.Methods:The moisture, total ash, acid-insoluble ash, and extract of Galla Turcica were assessed according to the guidelines specified in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (Volume Ⅳ); high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed to quantify the gallic acid content in sixteen batches of Galla Turcica and standard decoction, from which the transfer rate was calculated; the paste rate, moisture, and extract yield were quantitatively analyzed, establishing the comprehensive fingerprint of Galla Turcica standard decoction. The quantitative value transfer rules of common peaks from medicinal materials to standard decoction were studied through similarity evaluation and stoichiometric analysis. Results:The gallic acid content of the sixteen batches of Galla Turcica standard decoction ranged from 76.79 mg/g to 115.04 mg/g, the range of transfer rate was 24.02% to 47.82%, the extraction rate was 34.04% to 63.23%, the moisture was 1.11% to 2.06%, and the extract was 94.44% to 101.75%. A total of nine characteristic peaks were identified in the fingerprints of the sixteen batches of Galla Turcica and standard decoction, and four characteristic peaks were identified: gallic acid (GA), 1, 2, 3, 6 - tetragalloylglucose (TeGG), ellagic acid (EA) and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, - pentagalloylglucose (PGG). Clustering analysis revealed that at a measurement distance of fifteen, the sixteen batches could be grouped into two categories. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that three principal components were extracted with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 84.204%, which could represent most of the information of the samples.Conclusions:The standard decoction preparation process developed in this study adheres to the requirements of traditional decoction methods and has proven to be both effective and feasible. This method can be used for the research and quality evaluation of standard decoction of Galla Turcica, and provide a basis for subsequent formulation granules and related research.
