The research object of the study is Coptidis Rhizome (CR).\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000Using spectral optimization and data fusion technology, Near Infrared (NIR) and Mid-Infrared (MIR) spectra were collected for CR. PLS-DA (n = 134) and PLSR (n = 63) models were established to identify the medicinal materials and determine the moisture content in the medicinal materials.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000For the identification of the three species of CR, the mid-level fusion model performed better than the single-spectrum model. The sensitivity and specificity of the prediction set coefficients for NIR, MIR, and data fusion qualitative models were all higher than 0.95, with an AUC value of 1. The NIR data model was superior to the MIR data model. The results of low-level fusion were similar to those of the NIR optimization model.

A content uniformity test demonstrated that the drugs in their dosage form met the acceptance limit (85-115%). The degradation products were reliably distinguished from pure drugs for a range of retention times.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In their commercial drug product, the proposed method could be used in QC laboratories for concurrent testing, content uniformity, and in vitro dissolution investigations of BIS and PER. The methods were successfully validated per International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines.</p><p><strong>Highlights: </strong>This study is innovative since it is the first to establish and validate specific and reproducible UPLC and HPLC methods for the concurrent quantitation of the studied drugs in their binary mixture and application to lean Six Sigma, content uniformity, and comparative dissolution approaches.</p>","PeriodicalId":15003,"journal":{"name":"Journal of AOAC International","volume":"106 5","pages":"1165-1179"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10584570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
