The semen Pruni contains chemical components mainly including flavonoids, fatty acids, amino acids, cyanogens and mineral elements. The amygdalin is one of important components in the bunge cherry seeds and one of main effective components of the bunge cherry seeds, is usually used for identification and content measurement of the bunge cherry seeds as an index component of the bunge cherry seeds, and has pharmacological effects of moistening dryness, smoothing intestines, resisting inflammation, easing pain, resisting oxidation, resisting aging, resisting tumors, resisting convulsion, reducing blood pressure, resisting atherosclerosis, relieving cough, treating constipation, edema, respiratory tract and other diseases. The content determination component under the item of bunge cherry seed content determination in 2020 edition of Chinese pharmacopoeia is amygdalin, so the bunge cherry seed formula granules select the amygdalin as the content determination component.

Test methods liquid chromatography as in the above-described characteristic spectrum test.

The chromatographic conditions are as follows: using octadecylsilane chemically bonded silica as filler, and GL Sciences TP5-5328 chromatographic column (column length 250mm, column inner diameter 4.6mm, particle diameter 5 μm); gradient elution was performed as specified in table 11 using acetonitrile as mobile phase a and aqueous solution as mobile phase B; the detection wavelength is 254 nm; the column temperature is 20 ℃; the flow rate was 0.8mL per minute.

The results show that the amygdalin content obtained by the ultrasonic treatment is relatively high (see table 12 for details), so the ultrasonic treatment is selected as the extraction mode.

Table 12: comparison of amygdalin content in different extraction methods

Examination of extraction time: the test solutions were prepared at different extraction times and tested as described above for test 6.1. The results show that the amygdalin content is relatively high when the sample is extracted by ultrasonic (power 250W, frequency 40KHZ) for 20min and 40min, but the two have no obvious difference (see Table 13), so the extraction time is selected to be 20 min.

Table 13: comparison of amygdalin content at different extraction times

Investigation of extraction solvent: the test solutions were prepared with different extraction solvents and tested according to the test method 6.1 above. The results show that the highest amygdalin content was obtained when the extraction solvent was 70% methanol (see table 14 for details), so 70% methanol was determined to be the extraction solvent.

Table 14: comparison of amygdalin content in different extraction solvents

Table 18:

linear range test: taking amygdalin reference substance solution with the concentration of 0.9718mg/ml, and respectively taking 4ml to 5ml volumetric flasks with the concentrations: 0.7774 mg/ml; take 0.7774mg/ml solution 3.75ml to 5ml volumetric flask, concentration: 0.5831 mg/ml; take 0.5831mg/ml solution 3.2ml to 5ml volumetric flask, concentration: 0.3732 mg/ml; take 2.5ml to 5ml volumetric flask of 0.3732mg/ml solution, concentration: 0.1833 mg/ml; obtained in the same way, the concentration: 0.0933 mg/ml. The measurement was carried out under the chromatographic conditions under item 6.1.

Taking the peak area of amygdalin as the ordinate and the concentration of the test solution as the abscissa, drawing a standard curve, and performing linear regression, wherein the regression equation is as follows:

Y＝400035x-8727.4，R2＝0.9994，
