Fingerprints of Xinshu Oral Liquid by HPCE / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective To develop a method of quality control for fingerprints of Xinshu Oral Liquid. Methods Based on electrophoregram of ten batches of genuine Radix Angelicae Sinensis (RAS), ten batches of genuine Rhizoma Chuanxiong (RC), and ten batches of genuine Flos Carthami (FC) by high performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) to compare the fingerprints between Xinshu Oral Liquid and the genuine medicinal herbs, single herb decoction, nagetive control herb solution, respectively. The fingerprint assignment was made by comparing the UV spectra and relative migration time. Results To compare the fingerprints of ten samples from different batches and single herb, the correlation of peaks between fingerprings was found. Finally the standard fingerprints and the method of quality control were established. Conclusion Based on the fingerprints of ten batches of prearations, an average electro-phoregram was used as the standard fingerprint. There are 27 “common peaks” in the fingerprint, among them 14 from RAS, ten from RC (in which seven are commnon) and nine from FC.
