Compared to chemical drugs, the quality control of herbal medicinal products poses many problems due to the complexity of herbal drugs, herbal drug preparations and the products themselves, and due to the use of different analytical methods (selective and non-selective) giving different results. To illustrate this, three groups of herbal medicinal products were assayed by different analytical methods: products containing St. John's wort (colorimetry and HPLC), milk thistle (spectrophotometry and HPLC) and ginkgo (HPLC). These studies show that complete and correct labeling is necessary for the evaluation of herbal medicinal products and that for the majority of plants the knowledge of the applied analytical method is essential for a proper verification of conformity.

Abstract In herbal medicinal products the entire herbal drug or an herbal drug preparation is regarded as the active pharmaceutical ingredient, regardless of whether constituents with defined therapeutic activity are known. In quality control and stability testing of herbal medicinal products, fingerprint chromatograms are used as powerful tools to evaluate and compare the composition of compounds in such products. To fulfill the International Conference on Harmonization and Good Manufacturing Practice-based regulatory requirements in pharmaceutical quality control, chromatographic fingerprint analysis needs to be validated. Based on a standardized methodology, this paper provides a comprehensive concept for evaluating validation parameters for planar chromatographic fingerprinting by considering the stationary phase, sample application, developing solvent, chromatogram development, plate labeling, derivatization, documentation, and chromatographic equipment. Validation parameters addressed include stability of the analyte, selectivity, robustness testing, and method reproducibility.

This paper presents an overview of Prof. Vincieri's accomplishments in his career as a researcher in the field of pharmacognosy (pharmaceutical biology), analytical phytochemistry and pharmaceutical technology applied to herbal drug preparations at the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences of the University of Florence. This article is a recognition of his valuable contributions to these research fields, especially for his outstanding and innovative interdisciplinary studies on the quality control of herbal drugs, herbal drug preparations, herbal medicinal products, botanical food supplements, and some “special foods” such as grapes, wines, olives and olive oil.
