鉴别 Identification

取本品粉末1 g，加乙醇5 ml，超声处理15分钟，滤过，取滤液作为供试品溶液。另取水蛭对照药材1 g，同法制成对照药材溶液。照薄层色谱法（通则0502）试验，吸取上述两种溶液各5 μl，分别点于同一硅胶G薄层板上，以环己烷-乙酸乙酯（4:1）为展开剂，展开，取出，晾干，喷以10%硫酸乙醇溶液，在105℃加热至斑点显色清晰。供试品色谱中，在与对照药材色谱相应的位置上，显相同的紫红色斑点；紫外光灯（365 nm）下显相同的橙红色荧光斑点。
To 1 g of the powder add 5 ml of ethanol, treat with ultrasound for 15 minutes, filter, and take the filtrate as the test solution. Take 1 g of the reference drug Hirudo nipponica and prepare the reference drug solution in the same manner. Carry out the method for thin layer chromatography<0502>, using silica gel G as the coating substance and a mixture of cyclohexane and ethyl acetate (4:1) as the mobile phase. Apply separately to the plate 5 μl of each of the above two solutions. After developing and removal of the plate, dry in air. Spray with a 10% solution of sulfuric acid in ethanol, heat at 105°C to the spots clear. The purple-red spot in the chromatogram obtained with the test solution corresponds in position to the spot in the chromatogram obtained with the reference drug solution; under ultraviolet light at 365 nm, the same orange-red fluorescent spot is observed.
