Abstract

This article focuses on evaluating the stability of 12 traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces during different storage times using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprinting combined with clustering heatmap (CH) analysis. The study found that most decoction pieces maintained good chemical stability for up to six months, while those containing volatile oils or animal-derived components, such as Siccus Bufo, showed significant quality deterioration within one month. Active components like paeoniflorin, hesperidin, bufothionine, and chlorogenic acid exhibited varying degrees of change depending on the herb and storage duration. The findings support tailored storage recommendations for different TCM materials and highlight HPLC fingerprinting as an effective method for quality control and stability assessment in TCM research.
