Summary
This study developed a quality control method for qianliebeixi capsules using TLC and HPLC. The validated method ensures accurate quantification of quercetin and kaempferol, confirming product quality.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacognosy
- Analytical Chemistry
Context:
- Qianliebeixi capsules are a traditional medicine requiring robust quality control.
- Ensuring the consistent quality of herbal medicinal products is crucial for patient safety and therapeutic efficacy.
Purpose:
- To establish and validate a reliable quality control method for qianliebeixi capsules.
- To identify and quantify key active compounds, quercetin and kaempferol, within the capsules.
Summary:
- Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) was used to clarify semen vaccarine, while High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) determined quercetin and kaempferol content.
- Optimal chromatographic conditions were established using a C18 column and a specific mobile phase, with detection at 370 nm.
- The method demonstrated high accuracy, with average recovery rates of 98.9% for quercetin and 100.4% for kaempferol, and low relative standard deviations (RSD) of 2.2% and 1.7%, respectively.
Impact:
- The developed TLC and HPLC method is simple, rapid, and reproducible.
- This validated method effectively controls the quality of qianliebeixi capsules.
- The findings contribute to the standardization and quality assurance of traditional Chinese medicine formulations.
