Method for chromatographic finger printing and standardization of single medicines and formulations
First Claim
1. A computer-readable medium storing a computer program for interpreting and manipulating 2-D contour and 3 D chromatograms of an ingredient, said computer program operative to:
- i) analyze the colored contour image based on the selection of various colors denoting the concentrations of the various constituents eluted with time, and polarity based on retention time;
ii) analyze the 2-D and 3-D chromatograms of the medicine using all its 3 dimensional properties of the image;
iii) generate a chromatogram having peaks at various retention times along with conjugative properties of the molecules eluted with time in a specified order of polarity;
iv) identify the compounds in the said molecules by the UV-Vis absorptive properties of the various constituents in the image;
v) correlate the reported biological, therapeutic activity of the of various constituents present in the medicines understudy based on the polarity and the conjugative properties of the molecules by dividing the fingerprint into therapeutic zones on X and Y axis;
vi) generate a barcode for a selected peak(s) using the image coordinates viz., X for retention time, Y for wavelength, R for number of red pixels, G for number of green pixels and B for number of blue pixels, provided by the proposed software;
vii) generate a database of fingerprints and barcodes for the samples, facilitating all kinds of database utilities like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Resource Management (CRM) applications; and
viii) generate a database of the ‘
display windows’
for all the samples to be used by the ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP) and CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM) type of business applications.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method for the chromatographic fingerprinting, chemical and therapeutic standardization, bar-coding of the fingerprints and preparation of a data base for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) machines and applications of medicines in general and traditional medicines in particular; this invention includes a software based instrumental method and a novel method of fingerprinting and standardization is proposed for the above purpose and the said method for the chromatographic finger printing which facilitates to correlate the traditional therapeutic standardization methods with the chemical properties of the medicines and humors and provides a rational basis to understand the methods used for the said purpose.

9. A computer-readable medium storing a computer program for interpreting and manipulating chromatographic separation data comprising one or more digital color image files of contour chromatograms of the constituent ingredients of an extracted organic or organo-metallic compound separated on the basis of pH and in a specified order of polarity using High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), ultraviolet-visible, 3-D chromatography, the computer program operative to analyze a predefined set of colors for each of the one or more digital color image files with single pixel sensitivity in order to determine for the extracted compound a “
- fingerprint”
including at least (a) the proportional concentrations of the constituent ingredients and (b) their polarity on a predetermined scale, based upon both the number of pixels and the colors of the constituent ingredients present at various retention times represented in the chromatographic separation data. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
