Abstract

Abstract: Background: Qishen Yiqi dripping pills (QSYQ), composed of four herbal medicines— Salvia miltiorrhiza, Astragalus membranaceus, Panax notoginseng, and Dalbergiaodorifera —are widely used to treat ischemic cerebrovascular and hemorrhagic cerebrovascular conditions. Objective: In this study, a rapid and accurate proton NMR ( 1 HNMR) spectroscopy method was established to control the quality of QSYQ and ensure their clinical efficacy. Method: Firstly, different types of metabolites were identified based on the proton signal peaks of chemical shifts, coupling constants, and related information provided through two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. Secondly, a quantitative 1 HNMR method was established for the simultaneous determination of major constituents in QSYQ samples. In addition, an HPLC method was performed to verify the results obtained by the quantitative proton NMR (qHNMR) method. Results: In the present study, 26 metabolites were identified in the 1 HNMR spectra of QSYQ. In addition, a rapid and accruate qHNMR method was established for the simultaneous determination of protocatechualdehyde, rosmarinic acid, danshensu, calycosin-7- O - β -D-glucoside, and ononin in ten batches of QSYQ samples for the first time. Moreover, the proposed qHNMR method and HPLC method were compared using Bland-Altman and plots Passing-Bablok regression, indicating no significant differences and a strong correlation between the two analytical methods. Conclusions: This method is an important tool for the identification and quantification of major constituents in QSYQ. Highlights: Compared with traditional HPLC, the established qHNMR method has the advantages of simple sample preparation, short analysis time, and non-destructive analysis.
