［Objectives］To determine the optimal reflux extraction process conditions for Compound Coptis Ointment. [Methods] The study employed the orthogonal experimental design method and drug-sensitive disc agar diffusion method to evaluate the extraction rate, berberine hydrochloride content, and bacteriostatic ring diameter of the extract as comprehensive indices, and optimized the extraction process conditions of Compound Coptis Ointment using ethanol reflux. [Results] Based on the results of comprehensive indices, the optimal reflux extraction conditions for Compound Coptis Ointment were determined to be soaking in 1.5 times the amount of 70% ethanol for 2 h, followed by two extractions with 6 times the amount of 70% ethanol for 1 h each time. Three verification tests were conducted under the optimal process conditions. The yield of the extract was 28.32%±0.53%, the content of berberine hydrochloride was 4.68%±0.45%, and the diameter of the bacteriostatic ring was (2.5±0.2) cm. [Conclusions] The extract had higher drug content and exhibited better antibacterial effects. The optimized extraction process is simple, stable, and reliable, and can be effectively used to optimize the extraction process of Compound Coptis Ointment. |
