Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used for thousands of years in East Asia for treating diseases, and the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (ChP) plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality of TCM drugs. Chromatography technology has been proven to be a comprehensive strategy for evaluating the overall quality of TCM in the ChP, and it has become the main analytical method.
As an important branch of medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been applied for the treatment of diseases for thousands of years in China and other countries in East Asia. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia (ChP) is a drug code formulated by the Chinese government, and it includes a special volume for the monographs of TCM, which plays an important role in ensuring the quality of drugs. The use of quality control technology has always been a complex and important factor in TCM. Owing to the chemical diversity of TCM, chromatography technology has been proven to be a comprehensive strategy for the assessment of the overall quality of TCM and has become the main analytical method in the ChP. This article provides an overview of the classical and modern chromatographic technologies applied in the ChP, and summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of each technique in the TCM monographs. In 2020, the new edition of the ChP (the 2020 edition) has been implemented at the end of 2020. This paper also contains a brief introduction about the application of chromatographic technologies in the new edition of the ChP. ? 2020 Xi'an Jiaotong University.
