Periploca Bark

Overview

Periploca Bark is the dried root bark of Periploca sepium Bge. (Fam. Asclepiadaceae). The drug is collected in spring and autumn, the root bark is peeled off, and dried in the shade.

Description

The bark is cylindrical or trough-shaped, occasionally irregularly blocky, 3-10 cm long, 1-2 cm in diameter, and 0.2-0.4 cm thick. The outer surface is grayish-brown or yellowish-brown, with loose cork often in scales that are easily peeled off. The inner surface is pale yellow or pale yellowish-brown, relatively smooth, with fine longitudinal striations. The bark is light, brittle, easily broken, with an uneven fracture surface, and yellowish-white. It has a characteristic aroma and a bitter taste.

Identification

(1) The powder of this product is light brown. Calcium oxalate square crystals 9-20 μm in diameter. stone cells oblong or polygonal-like, 24-70 μm in diameter. milk tubes containing colourless oil droplet-like particles. Cork cells are brownish yellow, polygonal. Starch granules are numerous, single granules are oblong or oblong, 3~l1μm in diameter; compound granules are composed of 2~6 grains.

(2) Take 10g of this product powder, placed in 250ml flask, add 150ml of water, heating distillation, distillate with a specific aroma, collect 10ml of distillate, divided into two test tubes, a tube with 1% ferric chloride solution 1 drop, that is, a reddish-brown colour; the other tube with a small amount of hydrazine sulphate saturated solution 5ml and sodium acetate crystals, a little heated, cooled to produce a yellowish-green precipitate, and placed in ultraviolet light (365nm) under the observation, showed strong yellow fluorescence.

(3) Take 1g of this product powder, add 10ml of ethanol, heat and reflux for 1 hour, filtration, filtrate in a 25ml measuring flask, add ethanol to the scale, shaking well, a precise amount of 1ml, placed in a 20ml measuring flask, add ethanol to the scale, shaking well, according to the UV-visible spectrophotometric method (General 0401) to determine the wavelength of 278nm has the maximum absorption.

(4) Take 2g of this product powder, add 30ml of methanol, heating reflux for 1 hour, filtration, filtrate evaporation, residue add 2ml of methanol to dissolve, as a test solution. Take 4-methoxysalicylaldehyde control product, add methanol to make a solution containing lmg per 1ml, as a control solution. According to the thin layer chromatography (General rule 0502) test, absorb the above two solutions of 2μl, respectively, point on the same silica gel G thin layer plate, with petroleum ether (60 ~ 90 ℃) - ethyl acetate - glacial acetic acid (20:3:0.5) as the unfolding agent, unfold, remove, dry, spray with dinitrophenylhydrazine test solution. In the chromatogram of the test article, spots of the same colour are shown in the corresponding positions with the chromatogram of the control article.

Examination

Water

Not more than 13.0 per cent <0832,method 2>.

Total ash

Not more than 10.0 per cent <2302>.

Acid-insoluble ash

Not more than 4.0 per cent <2302>.

Extractives

Carry out the method for determination of ethanol-soluble Extractives <2201,the hot maceration method>, using diluted ethanol as the solvent, not less than 20.0 per cent.

Assay

Carry out the method for high performance liquid chromatography <0512>.

Chromatographic conditions and system suitability test

Use octadecylsilane bonded silica gel as the stationary phase; use methanol-water-acetic acid (70:30:2) as the mobile phase; detect at a wavelength of 278 nm. The theoretical plate number calculated based on the peak of 4-methoxysalicylaldehyde should not be less than 1000.

Preparation of internal standard solution

Take an appropriate amount of butylparaben, accurately weigh, and dissolve in 60% methanol to obtain a solution containing 6 mg per ml.

Assay method

Take an appropriate amount of 4-methoxysalicylaldehyde reference substance, accurately weigh, place it in a brown volumetric flask, and dissolve it in 60% methanol to obtain a solution containing 1 mg per ml. Accurately measure 4 ml of this solution and 2 ml of the internal standard solution, place them in a 25 ml volumetric flask, add 60% methanol to the mark, shake well, take 20 μl, inject it into the liquid chromatograph, and record the chromatogram. Take about 0.25-0.5 g of the coarse powder of the drug, dry it at 60°C for 4 hours, accurately weigh it, place it in a 50 ml flask, add 15 ml of 60% methanol, heat under reflux for 1.5 hours, filter, collect the filtrate in a 25 ml volumetric flask, wash the container with a small amount of 60% methanol, and filter the washings into the same flask. Accurately add 2 ml of the internal standard solution, add 60% methanol to the mark, shake well, filter, and take the subsequent filtrate as the test solution. Take 20 μl and inject it into the liquid chromatograph. Calculate the content based on the peak area using the internal standard method.

When dried at 60°C for 4 hours, the content of 4-methoxysalicylaldehyde (C8H8O3) should not be less than 0.20%.
