    Abstract In modern botanical pharmacopeial monographs, one measurement of content is the quantitation of relevant constituents as marker compounds. The use of suitable reference standards (RSs) to quantify multiple compounds by HPLC is recommended in the U.S. Pharmacopeial (USP) botanical monographs. However, these substances may be expensive and difficult to develop into an RS. Surrogate RSs could be used instead of the actual constituents, provided that the relative response factors (RRFs) of each analyte to the selected surrogate RS are known. USP monographs of both Sichuan Lovage Rhizome and Dong Quai Root recognize Z-ligustilide as a major characteristic marker compound, making quantitation of Z-ligustilide and its analog(s) relevant for quality control. However, because Z-ligustilide is unstable, it is difficult to develop it into a quantitative RS. Instead, oxybenzone was selected as a surrogate external quantitative RS because of its similar chromatographic behavior to Z-ligustilide, its stability, and affordable cost. The RRF determination of Z-ligustilide to oxybenzone by the conventional HPLC procedure is challenging due to both the instability of the purified Z-ligustilide at ambient temperature and the difficulty of determining its purity. Therefore, a qNMR method was used to overcome these challenges as it enables to directly measure the mass ratio of Z-ligustilide to oxybenzone in the stock solution without the need for weighing and purity information. In the present study, RRF values of 1.01, 0.46, and 0.89 for Z-ligustilide, senkyunolide A, and ferulic acid relative to oxybenzone, respectively, were determined using the qNMR-based methodology.

    Abstract Increase in dietary supplement use in the United States suggests a great need for clinicians to be aware of the range of supplements' quality parameters. Regulatory requirements exist, but specific quality parameters for each ingredient are not set by regulators. This article considers how clinicians can evaluate dietary supplement product quality, assess manufacturers' adherence to public quality standards, and encourage use of verification and certification programs.

    Abstract The present study demonstrates the relationship between conventional and quantum mechanical (QM) NMR spectroscopic analyses, shown here to assist in building a convincingly orthogonal platform for the solution and documentation of demanding structures. Kaempferol-3-O-robinoside-7-O-glucoside, a bisdesmosidic flavonol triglycoside and botanical marker for the aerial parts of Withania somnifera, served as an exemplary case. As demonstrated, QM-based ¹H iterative full spin analysis (HiFSA) advances the understanding of both individual nuclear resonance spin patterns and the entire ¹H NMR spectrum of a molecule and establishes structurally determinant, numerical HiFSA profiles. The combination of HiFSA with regular 1D ¹H NMR spectra allows for simplified yet specific identification tests via comparison of high-quality experimental with QM-calculated spectra. HiFSA accounts for all features encountered in ¹H NMR spectra: nonlinear high-order effects, complex multiplets, and their usually overlapped signals. As HiFSA replicates spectrum patterns from field-independent parameters with high accuracy, this methodology can be ported to low-field NMR instruments (40–100 MHz). With its reliance on experimental NMR evidence, the QM approach builds up confidence in structural characterization and potentially reduces identity analyses to simple 1D ¹H NMR experiments. This approach may lead to efficient implementation of conclusive identification tests in pharmacopeial and regulatory analyses: from simple organics to complex natural products.

    Abstract The increasing consumption of amino acids from a wide variety of sources, including dietary supplements, natural health products, medical foods, infant formulas, athletic and work-out products, herbal medicines, and other national and international categories of nutritional and functional food products, increases the exposure to amino acids to amounts far beyond those normally obtained from the diet, thereby necessitating appropriate and robust safety assessments of these ingredients. Safety assessments of amino acids, similar to all food constituents, largely rely on the establishment of an upper limit [Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL)] considered to be a guide for avoiding high intake, above which adverse or toxic effects might occur. However, reliable ULs have been difficult or impossible to define for amino acids because of inadequate toxicity studies in animals and scarce or missing clinical data, as well as a paucity or absence of adverse event reporting data. This review examines 2 amino acids that have been associated with in-market adverse events to show how quality specifications might have helped prevent the adverse clinical outcomes. We further highlight the importance of various factors that should be incorporated into an overall safety assessment of these and other amino acids. In addition to the traditional reliance on the established UL, well-defined quality specifications, review of synthesis and production strategies, potential interactions with drugs, contraindications with certain disease states, and cautionary use within certain age groups should all be taken into consideration.

    Abstract Military personnel use dietary supplements (DS) for performance enhancement, bodybuilding, weight loss, and to maintain health. Adverse events, including cardiovascular (CV) effects, have been reported in military personnel taking supplements. Previous research determined that ingestion of multi-ingredient dietary supplements (MIDS), can lead to signals of safety concerns. Therefore, to assess the safety of MIDS, the Department of Defense via a contractor explored the development of a model-based risk assessment tool. We present a strategy and preliminary novel multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA)-based tool for assessing the risk of adverse CV effects from MIDS. The tool integrates toxicology and other relevant data available on MIDS; likelihood of exposure, and biologic plausibility that could contribute to specific aspects of risk. Inputs for the model are values of four measures assigned based on the available evidence supplemented with the opinion of experts in toxicology, modeling, risk assessment etc. Measures were weighted based on the experts’ assessment of measures’ relative importance. Finally, all data for the four measures were integrated to provide a risk potential of 0 (low risk) to 100 (high risk) that defines the relative risk of a MIDS to cause adverse reactions. We conclude that the best available evidence must be supplemented with the opinion of experts in medicine, toxicology and pharmacology. Model-based approaches are useful to inform risk assessment in the absence of data. This MCDA model provides a foundation for refinement and validation of accuracy of the model predictions as new evidence becomes available.
