Introduction: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is increasingly employed in the quantitative analysis and quality control (QC) of natural products (NP) including botanical dietary supplements (BDS). The establishment of QC protocols based on quantitative (1) H NMR (qHNMR) requires method validation.
Objective: Develop and validate a generic qHNMR method. Optimize acquisition and processing parameters, with specific attention to the requirements for the analysis of complex NP samples, including botanicals and purity assessment of NP isolates.
Methods: In order to establish the validated qHNMR method, samples containing two highly pure reference materials were used. The influence of acquisition and processing parameters on the method validation was examined, and general aspects of method validation of qHNMR methods discussed. Subsequently, the method established was applied to the analysis of two NP samples: a purified reference compound and a crude mixture.
Results: The accuracy and precision of qHNMR using internal or external calibration were compared, using a validated method suitable for complex samples. The impact of post-acquisition processing on method validation was examined using three software packages: TopSpin, Mnova and NUTS. The dynamic range of the qHNMR method developed was 5000:1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of better than 10 µm. The limit of quantification (LOQ) depends on the desired level of accuracy and experiment time spent.
Conclusion: This study revealed that acquisition parameters, processing parameters and processing software all contribute to qHNMR method validation. A validated method with a high dynamic range and general workflow for qHNMR analysis of NP is proposed.

Introduction: Polygoni Multiflori Radix (PMR) is commonly used in traditional medicine as both raw and processed forms. Raw PMR was prepared into processed PMR via processing procedure; however, there is a lack of standardized protocols ensuring the completeness of processing.
Objective: This aims to develop a strategy based on a metabolomics approach for the comprehensive chemical profiling and comparison of raw and processed PMR and establish a basis for PMR processing standardization.

Measuring erosion of biodegradable polymers in brimonidine drug delivery implants by quantitative proton NMR spectroscopy (q-HNMR).

Erosion of biodegradable polymeric excipients, such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), is generally characterized by microbalance for the remaining mass of PLA and/or PLGA and Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) for molecular weight (MW) decrease. For polymer erosion studies of intravitreal sustained release brimonidine implants, however, both microbalance and GPC present several challenges. Mass loss measurement by microbalance does not have specificity for excipient polymers and drug substances.

Article Synopsis
- A new NMR-based method for identifying and quantifying amino acids was developed, utilizing both high-field (600 MHz) and benchtop (60 MHz) NMR instruments to analyze four amino acids and their salts.
- The methodology demonstrated that key NMR parameters, like chemical shifts, remained consistent regardless of the magnetic field strength, while introducing an alternative identification technique using C NMR patterns from a specific type of NMR measurement (ed-HSQC) for clearer documentation.
- The quantification of amino acid reference materials using a qNMR approach showed that the samples analyzed were generally of high purity, confirming the effectiveness of the developed techniques.
