Abstract
Recently, the fingerprinting approach using chromatography has become one of the most potent tools for quality assessment of herbal medicine. Due to the complexity of the chromatographic fingerprint and the irreproducibility of chromatographic instruments and experimental conditions, several chemometric approaches such as variance analysis, peak alignment, correlation analysis, and pattern recognition were employed to deal with the chromatographic fingerprint in this work. To facilitate the data preprocessing, a software named Computer Aided Similarity Evaluation (CASE) was also developed. All programs of chemometric algorithms for CASE were coded in MATLAB5.3 based on Windows. Data loading, removing, cutting, smoothing, compressing, background and retention time shift correction, normalization, peak identification and matching, variation determination of common peaks/regions, similarity comparison, sample classification, and other data processes associated with the chromatographic fingerprint were investigated in this software. The case study of high pressure liquid chromatographic HPLC fingerprints of 50 Rhizoma chuanxiong samples from different sources demonstrated that the chemometric approaches investigated in this work were reliable and user friendly for data preprocessing of chromatographic fingerprints of herbal medicines for quality assessment.Keywords
