Objective: To identify the Chinese medicinal granule (CMG) by measuring IR fingerprints. Methods : 12 species drugs were extracted with butanone respectively and then the obtained extracts were measured by the FT-IR spectrometer. Results : By IR fingerprint of 12 kinds of CMG, we found that different batches of the same CMG had a stable and repeatable fingerprint. Conclusion : By using IR fingerprint, CMG can be identified. It provides a rapid monitoring for drug identification and quality control.

AIM: To identify the Chinese medicinal granule by measuring IR fingerprints. METHODS: 13 kinds of granules were extracted with butanone respectively and then the obtained extracts were measured with the FT IR spectrometer. RESULTS: By IR fingerprint of 13 kinds of granules drugs, different batches of the same crude drug had a stable and repeatable fingerprint. CONCLUSION: By using IR fingerprint, Chinese medicinal granule can be identified and provides a rapid method for drug identification and quality control.

Objective: To identify Tongren Wujibaifeng Pills and Xiaoshuanzaizao Pills respectively by analysis of IR fingerprint. Methods: Both drugs were extracted with hexane, ether and butanone and then the extracts obtained were measured with FT IR spectrometer. Results: By analizing IR fingerprint of 25 batches Tongren Wujibaifeng Pills and 31 batches Xiaoshuanzaizao Pills, we found that different batches of the same drug have stable and repeatable fingerprint. Conclusion: By using IR fingerprint, either Tongren Wujibaifeng Pills and Xiaoshuanzaizao Pills can be identified. It provides a rapid method for drug identification and quality control.
