Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Kaixi.
This is the ancestral Chinese medicine powder for cough treatment that fans expressed to me, and it was purchased from a certain Chinese medicine doctor. The product claims to treat pediatric cough, asthma, chronic tracheitis, pneumonia and so on.
She saw an improvement in her condition after giving it to her child for 7 days. There is no cat grease, can not hide from our mirror.
Directly speaking of the results, this ancestral Chinese medicine powder contains at least 2 synthetic chemical medicinal ingredients, they are: aminopyrine and fenarcetin, and a false pure Chinese medicine under the banner of ancestral tradition, but illegally adding chemical ingredients, this so-called Chinese medicine is a liar who hangs on the sheep's head and sells dog meat.
In addition, we also detected caffeine and skullcap glycosides, hancalin, and skullcap, and presumably used skullcap herbs.
Aminopyrine is a non-steroidal antipyretic analgesic anti-inflammatory drug, mainly by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, reducing the release of prostaglandins to exert antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, often combined with caffeine into compound tablets, that is, "aminopyrine caffeine tablets", used to relieve colds, upper respiratory tract infections caused by fever, headache and other symptoms, but also can be used for neuralgia, rheumatic pain and toothache. Caffeine was detected in the sample and the explanation made sense.
However, the side effects of aminopyrine are relatively large, which can cause adverse reactions such as blood pressure drop, leukopenia, and even shock. Now it is basically not used clinically, and it has been listed in the blacklist of children's fever reducers.
Fenarcidine is an antipyretic analgesic, due to its severe renal toxicity, has been rarely used at present, and is usually replaced by acetaminophen, contraindicated, clearly marked, the elderly and children should use with caution.
Therefore, this fake Chinese medicine pretends to be an ancestral secret recipe, concealing the addition of two eliminated chemical drugs that are banned for children, which is really lacking in virtue. We have a classic saying in the countryside that we want to give to this liar - doing this kind of bad thing will give birth to a child without a fart.
Some parents like to listen to folk secret recipes and folk remedies, and think that Chinese medicine has few side effects and is suitable for children to use. If you encounter such "fake Chinese medicines" that conceal the illegal addition of Western medicines, it is impossible to determine the type, dose, quality and source of the additions, and the harm to the child is very large, but it is not worth the loss. Remind everyone again that if there is a problem, go to the hospital, diagnose and treat it by the doctor, and follow the doctor's instructions.
Interested partners, let's take a look at our analysis and identification process:
Samples are extracted with 70% ethanol and then HPLC detection is performed using the classical method. From the liquid phase spectrum, it can be seen that four or five obvious signal peaks, from the ultraviolet absorption curve, the 1-3 targets are basically consistent with the aminopyrine, caffeine and non-naxidin that we have previously identified.
Targets 4-6 look like natural plant ingredients, which are basically the same as the baicalin, hancalianin and skullcap that we have previously tested, and it can be preliminarily judged that they are the same. Next, take a picture of the mass spectrometry.
Q-TOF-MS test results show that the retention time is 6.6, 10.9, 25.0, 26.8, 32.1 and 38.0 minute signals, their molecular weights are 232.14496, 195.08770, 180.10166, 447.09149, 461.10714 and 271.06019, and the molecular formulas speculated by the instrument are C13H17N3O[M]+, C8H10N4O2[M]+, respectively. C10H13NO2[M]+, C21H18O11[M]+, C22H20O11[M]+, and C15H10O5[M]+, which can be hammered, respectively, are aminopyrine, caffeine and non-naxidine, baicalin, hancalin and baicalin.
The detection of "quick-acting" and "miraculous" pure plant products will continue. If the small partners have suspicious products to analyze, please leave a message.
Today's sharing is here, we will see you next time, bye-bye~
