Description

Ye Tao and co-authors build, in twenty twenty-five, a chemical method to tell apart two Chinese herbal medicines that are often confused. Sinomenii caulis and Menispermi rhizoma come from the same plant family. Mix-ups risk wrong treatment. The team used liquid chromatography to build chemical fingerprints for each herb across batches. Fingerprints of the same herb matched well. One herb contained sinomenine; the other contained dauricine, two distinct marker compounds. A mass spectrometry step then produced a digital matrix of chemical components for each herb.

That matrix became the basis of a new identification method. It successfully separated the two herbs. Results on samples with varied adulteration levels followed a correlation trend, supporting the method for quality control.
