RESUMEN
To determine the contents of salvianolic acid B and borneol in compound Danshen tablet (composed of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizome, Notoginseng Radix et Rhizome and Borneolum Syntheticum) by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and to establish a dependency model for rapid quantitative analysis. NIR data of 74 batches of compound Danshen tablet from different companies were collected; the contents of salvianolic acid B and borneol were determined by using high performanceliquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC) respectively to establish the dependency model for salvianolic acid B and borneol. The results showed that the best waveband for salvianolic acid B was 10 846.2-10 013, 9 195.3-8 362.2, 6 719.1-4 242.8 cm⻹; root-mean-squares error of cross-validation (RMSECV), coefficient of determination R² and regression point displacement (RPD) of salvianolic acid B were 1.72 mg·g⻹, 91.05% and 7.93 mg·g⻹, respectively. While the best wavebands, RMSECV, R² and RPD of borneol were 10 846.2-5 060.5 cm⻹, 1.2 mg·g⻹, 96.11% and 6.71 mg·g⻹ï¼respectively. The relative error of the established model as validation results for validation set samples was 2.67% and 4.64%ï¼ respectively.With the good predictability, the models can be applied to the real time monitoring and quality control of compound Danshen tablet.
