Multi-index Integrated Evaluation Method Optimizes Extraction of Wenxin Decoction
Objective: To determine the optimum extraction process of a clinical experience prescription
Wenxin decoction(WXT)
by using multi-index integrated evaluation method.Method: Orthogonal test L9(34) was conducted for the optimization of extraction technology and multi-index grading method was used to determine the optimal one. Curcumae Longae Rhizoma
Cinnamomi Cortex
Curcumae Rhizoma
and Asari Radix et Rhizoma were evaluated from the influence of amount of water
soaking time and extraction time on the yield rate. Orthogonal experiment design was applied in Codonopsis Radix
Chuanxiong Rhizoma and Scorpio with ethanol as solvent while lobetyolin and dry extract yield were used for overall scoring. Orthogonal experiment was used to optimize the water extraction and alcohol precipitation technologies for Paeoniae Radix Rubra
Rhei Radix et Rhizoma
Crataegi Fructus
Ophiopogonis Radix
Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and residual dregs of Codonopsis Radix
Chuanxiong Rhizoma and Scorpio extracted by ethanol. Paeoniflorin and dry extract yield were chosen as the index of evaluation to select and verify the optimal process parameters.Result: The extraction process of WXT was determined. The optimal extraction process for higher yield of volatile oil from Curcumae Longae Rhizoma
Cinnamomi Cortex
Curcumae Rhizoma
and Asari Radix et Rhizoma was to soke these drugs for 6 hours with 8 times of water volume
and then distill those drugs for 5 hours. The optimal ethanol extraction process for Codonopsis Radix
Chuanxiong Rhizoma and Scorpio were as follows:10 times of 80% ethanol amount
extracting for 2 times and 1.5 hours each time. Water extraction and alcohol precipitation were used in Paeoniae Radix Rubra
Rhei Radix et Rhizoma
Crataegi Fructus
Ophiopogonis Radix
licorice and residual dregs. The water extraction process was 1 hour extraction for twice
with 8 times of water volume. The ethanol-precipitation process was established where the 95% ethanol was added up to 60% and precipitated for 36 hours in 1.12 g·mL-1 liquid density.Conclusion: The extraction process of WXT optimized by multi-index integrated evaluation method is stable and reliable
which is suitable for industrial production
and can provide reference for clinical application and development of new drugs.
