Carbonizing by stir-frying (CSF) is the most common technology in botanical folk medicines to enhance the convergence, hemostasis, and antidiarrheal effects. Sanguisorbae Radix (SR), a well-known herbal medicine in China, has extensive therapeutic functions, while charred SR is known as an additional product obtained from SR after CSF. In this study, mass spectrometry was used to investigate the effect of charring on tannins transformation of SR. The findings showed that the content level of tannins in SR decreased significantly after carbonizing process, while their three categories, gallotannins, ellagitannins, and procyanidins, had downward trends in general. Moreover, CSF also induced the polyphenol in SR to release relevant monomers from its origins. Significant amount of hydrolyzable tannins were detected by mass spectrometry, including gallotannins and ellagitannins, suggesting that hydrolysis during CSF yielded gallic and ellagic acid and their derivatives, in addition to sugar moieties. Subsequently, gallic and ellagic acid can further polymerize to form sanguisorbic acid dilactone. The amount of proanthocyanidins, the oligomers of catechin, including procyanidin, procyanidin C2, procyanidin B3, and 3-O-galloylprocyanidin B3, decreased to form catechin and its derivatives, which may further degrade to protocatechualdehyde. Quantitative analysis illustrated that the amount of gallic, pyrogallic, and ellagic acid and methyl gallate, the essential effectors in SR, significantly increased after CSF, with increased ratios of 1.36, 4.28, 10.33, and 4.79, respectively. In contrast, the contents of cathechin and epigallocatechin dropped remarkably with increased ratios of 0.04 and 0.02. Tannins exhibit moderate absorption, while their relevant monomers have a higher bioavailability. Therefore, CSF is proved here to be an effective technique to the release of active monomers from the original polyphenol precursor. This study explored the mechanism by which tannins are transformed upon CSF of SR.
目的 从药效与灰化2个角度阐释"炒炭存性"原理,并优选地榆炒炭工艺及探讨炮制质量标志物(qualitymarker,Q-Marker)与灰化临界点参数.方法 考察炒炭温度、时间对地榆炮制品外观性状、提取物得率、指标性成分、金黄色葡萄球菌抑制效果的影响,以此优选炮制工艺.结果 随炒炭程度增加,地榆炭提取物中没食子酸含量先增后减,鞣花酸一直增加.地榆在抗菌效果方面炮制增效,从而阐释"炒炭存性";地榆炭对金黄色葡萄球菌的抑菌效果与提取物中没食子酸的含量呈较强正向相关性.地榆炭提取物得率与提取物中鞣花酸含量呈极强的反向相关性(r=-0.96403),地榆炭提取物得率突然下降时,饮片质地开始出现脆化、灰化现象.获得的最优地榆炒炭工艺:在250℃温度条件下炒炭6min,此时提取物得率约30%,没食子酸在提取物[(46.41±0.06)μg/mg]和饮片中[(14.20±0.02)μg/mg]含量相较于其他炮制条件最高.结论 提出用没食子酸含量指导地榆炒炭工艺,用提取物得率控制灰化临界点的研究思路,并优化了基于抑菌效应的地榆炮制工艺.
