  • 昆仙胶囊是由昆明山海棠、淫羊藿、枸杞子、菟丝子四味中药组成的复方制剂,是国家“九五攻关”项目成果转化的中药六类新药,具有细胞因子拮抗、免疫抑制、抗炎镇痛等作用,临床上用于风湿性关节炎等免疫性疾病的治疗,疗效显著[1-5],这可能与各单味药材中富含生物碱、萜类及黄酮类等多种抗炎镇痛的化学成分密切相关[6-9]。雷公藤甲素为君药昆明山海棠中的二萜内酯类毒性效应成分,且有效剂量和中毒剂量极为相近[10-11],因此,为保证患者用药的安全性及有效性,有必要对昆仙胶囊中雷公藤甲素的含量进行限定。目前,昆仙胶囊现有的质量控制标准中仅对组方中的淫羊藿和枸杞子进行薄层鉴别,含量测定项下则监测雷公藤甲素和淫羊藿苷的含量,但通过实验发现雷公藤甲素的含量测定方法仍然存在前处理方法复杂,含量低,重现性及检测成分专属性差等亟待改进的问题,同时,原检验项目的设置也不够全面,难以对昆仙胶囊实现整体性质量控制。因此,本实验采用薄层色谱法补充建立方中所有药味的薄层鉴别方法,并改良了昆仙胶囊中微量毒效成分雷公藤甲素的含量测定方法,为提升该制剂的质量标准研究提供实验依据。

    • 本研究采用TLC法补充了昆仙胶囊全药味的鉴别方法,各项方法重复性好,专属性强,且阴性无干扰。与原标准相比,改良后的淫羊藿药材的薄层鉴别方法所获得的斑点分离度更佳,比移值适中;新增的昆明山海棠药材薄层法中点状点样优于条带状点样,喷以2%香草醛的10%硫酸乙醇溶液显色方式优于10%硫酸乙醇溶液显色;新增的菟丝子药材薄层鉴别中,按照2020版中国药典中菟丝子的鉴别方法以甲醇-冰醋酸-水(4∶1∶5)为展开剂时[12],所获得的目标斑点分离度及成点性均差,而以乙酸乙酯-甲醇-水-甲酸(12∶2∶1∶1)为展开剂时,所获目标斑点的成点性及分离度均得到有效改善。但由于所测成分化学性质相差较远,尚无法实现“一板多测”。

    • 由于本品成分复杂,雷公藤甲素又属于微量成分,需对昆仙胶囊的前处理条件进行优化。首先,我们参考了厂家的前处理方法,即利用甲醇提取蒸发浓缩后,直接过氧化铝-硅胶柱纯化,结果得到的目标化合物含量较低,操作方法可重复性差,且液相色谱中雷公藤甲素分离度较差,易受其他化合物干扰。为此,我们又尝试通过甲醇提取,再多次萃取富集纯化的方法,均不能实现有效的测定。进而,我们结合厂家的方法,对我们的方法进行了优化,最终确定为甲醇超声提取后,用二氯甲烷萃取,然后通过硅胶柱再次富集和纯化目标成分,最终不仅提高了HPLC法检测雷公藤甲素含量的上限,且大大减少了其他化合物对目标色谱峰的干扰。整个前处理过程,还比较了不同的提取溶剂和萃取溶剂的效果,结果均不如本法。

    • 由于样品中其他黄酮类成分的含量相对较高,按照现行部颁标准中的液相方法测定目标成分时,容易出现色谱柱对目标成分的分离效果差,含量测定结果的重复性、重现性不理想,RSD较大等问题。为此,本实验又对定量测定雷公藤甲素含量的色谱条件进行了优化,主要比较了不同色谱柱(Diamonsil C18、Agilent ZORBA SB-C18、Amethyst C18及Waters SunFireTm C18),不同流动相(乙腈-0.1%甲酸水溶液、乙腈-0.2%甲酸水溶液、乙腈-0.1%磷酸水溶液、乙腈-水、甲醇-0.1%甲酸水溶液),不同柱温(25、30、35、40 ℃)及不同体积流量(0.8、0.9、1.0 ml/min)对雷公藤甲素色谱峰的影响,最终以Agilent ZORBA SB-C18为色谱柱、乙腈-0.1%甲酸水溶液为流动相、柱温为30 ℃及流速为0.8 ml/min时,目标峰分离完全,效果最佳。

      综上,本文建立的昆仙胶囊薄层鉴别及雷公藤甲素含量测定的方法,不仅弥补了昆仙胶囊全药味薄层鉴别的研究,同时也解决了现行标准中雷公藤甲素难测定,重复性差等难点,为完善昆仙胶囊的质量评价提供了依据。
