Abstract
The growing global popularity of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has generated a growing interest in the quality control of TCM products. Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid (SHL) is a commonly used TCM formula for treating respiratory tract infections. In this study, we present a thorough evaluation method for the quality of SHL and its intermediates. We assessed the quality through multi-wavelength fusion high-performance liquid chromatogram (HPLC) fingerprints of 40 batches of SHL samples and 15 batches of intermediates. Meanwhile, we introduced a new method called multi-markers assay by monolinear method (MAML) to quantify ten components in SHL, and revealed quality transmitting of ten components from intermediates to formulations. This information allowed us to establish a quality control system for intermediates, ensuring their quality consistency. Furthermore, we proposed UV quantum fingerprinting as an orthogonal complement to the quality evaluation by HPLC fingerprint. The relationship between fingerprinting and antioxidant capacity was also established. Overall, this study presented a novel and integrated approach for the quality evaluation of TCM products, providing valuable information for ensuring the safety and efficacy of TCM products for consumers.

Assessing the quality consistency of red yeast medicinal material by five-wavelength fusion fingerprint and ultraviolet quantum fingerprint corresponding with antioxidant activity analysis.

Abstract
In this study, a five-wavelength fusion fingerprint (FWFFT) combined with all-ultraviolet(UV) and antioxidant methods was used to explore the quality consistency of red yeast (RYT) samples. 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl Free Radical (DPPH) was used for antioxidant experiments, combined with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and grey correlation analysis (GCA) was performed with chromatographic peak area. The results showed that multi-wavelength fusion technology compensates for the shortcomings of single-wavelength technology, and the combination with UV avoids of the one-sidedness of single technology. Simultaneously, the fingerprint peak of the sample and the antioxidant activity had a high correlation, and the antioxidant activity had a corresponding relationship with the content of the two controls. This study provides a comprehensive and reliable method for the quality consistency evaluation of traditional Chinese medicines (TCM).

Abstract
Keteling capsules (KCs), as a kind of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), have been widely used in curing cough and relieving asthma. However, the complicated compositions make it challenging to evaluate their quality consistency by common methods. Herein, we explored comprehensive and efficient strategies by combining the multiple techniques to monitor and assess the characteristics of KCs. We employed the fingerprints and corresponding quantum fingerprints by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet (UV), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The antioxidant activity profiles were also studied combined with the result of three-dimensional quantum fingerprints and showed a good correlation with the internal structure and physical-chemical state. Furthermore, the 17 samples were separated and identified simultaneously by HPLC quantitative fingerprint, of which four active ingredients (chlorogenic acid, p-coumaric acid, vitexin and isovitexin) were quantitatively determined. The 17 samples were successfully classified into different grades by the systematically quantified fingerprint method (SQFM) and the quality of the samples was integrated according to the mean algorithm. The mean algorithm fusion of different evaluation techniques was compared to reveal the relationship between them, which indicated the effective improvement in accuracy and integrality. The combination of multiple analytical techniques developed in this study would effectively improve the existing single analytical methods and provide new strategy for drug quality consistency control.
