Abstract
Nuangong Qiwei Pill (NQP) is a classic Mongolian formula consisting of seven herbs, which is widely used in the treatment of gynecological diseases. To provide an integrated and comprehensive quality assessment method for NQP, multidimensional fingerprint was creatively applied to NQP. Firstly, the contents of three compounds-eugenol, agarotetrol and dehydrodiisoeugenol in 18 batches of NQPs were quantitatively analyzed. Then, the multidimensional fingerprints were established, which included the establishment of three-wavelength fusion HPLC fingerprints and their reliability, the obtaining of electrochemical fingerprints by B-Z oscillation and the analysis of nine parameters, and the obtaining of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) quantum fingerprints by fixed-point merger method. Subsequently, systematically quantitative fingerprint method (SQFM) was employed to evaluate similarities, Finally, the qualitative and quantitative results of the fingerprint were synthesized using the coefficient of variation weighting method (CVWM), and the samples were classified into 1–5 levels, which satisfied the evaluation criteria (Sm ≥ 0.70, 70 % ≤ Pm ≤ 130 %). Overall, this study provides valuable information for ensuring the quality of NQPs and will promote the application of fingerprint technology in the Mongolian medicine filed.
期刊介绍:
This journal is an international medium directed towards the needs of academic, clinical, government and industrial analysis by publishing original research reports and critical reviews on pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis. It covers the interdisciplinary aspects of analysis in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and clinical sciences, including developments in analytical methodology, instrumentation, computation and interpretation. Submissions on novel applications focusing on drug purity and stability studies, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic monitoring, metabolic profiling; drug-related aspects of analytical biochemistry and forensic toxicology; quality assurance in the pharmaceutical industry are also welcome.
Studies from areas of well established and poorly selective methods, such as UV-VIS spectrophotometry (including derivative and multi-wavelength measurements), basic electroanalytical (potentiometric, polarographic and voltammetric) methods, fluorimetry, flow-injection analysis, etc. are accepted for publication in exceptional cases only, if a unique and substantial advantage over presently known systems is demonstrated. The same applies to the assay of simple drug formulations by any kind of methods and the determination of drugs in biological samples based merely on spiked samples. Drug purity/stability studies should contain information on the structure elucidation of the impurities/degradants.
