determination method with 1H- NMR using maleic acid as the internal reference.
The sample contained two APIs quantied to be 34.3±0.2 mg of vardenal and
7.2±0.1 mg of homosildenal. [7]
Lachenmeier et al., used a standardless methodology referred to as pulse
length- based concentration determination (PULCON) with NMR to obtain the
purity of reference materials, including ibandronic acid, amantadine, ambroxol,
and lercanidipine. [17] They compared the results of their analysis with the direct
determination method and with the reference values from HPLC analysis. For the
NMR analysis via PULCON and the direct determination method, a 400 MHz
NMR was employed. The direct determination method used two internal standards,
3,5- dinitrobenzoic acid and 2,3,4,5- tetracloronitrobenzene. [17]
The PULCON analysis utilized a reference standard from an electronic reference
to access in vivo concentrations (ERETIC). [17] The ERETIC factor for the
chloroform solutions were determined by adding ethylbenzene in CDCl3, while the
factor for the aqueous solutions was determined by adding citric acid in D2O. Only
a single calibration with the PULCON method was needed as it could be reused
for multiple samples over an extended period. The reference samples analyzed
were as follows: one sample each of ibandronic acid, amantadine HCl, ambroxol
HCl, and lercanidipine, and four samples of medicinal products of ibandronic acid.
Both types of NMR methods showed satisfactory purity values of all samples of
ibandronic acid. The purity using the direct determination method of 1H- NMR
was 93.6%– 96%, whereas with PULCON it was determined to be 94.8%– 99.6%.
A t- test showed no signicant difference between the two methods and the values
agreed with sample specications as well as with the reference values from HPLC.
The authors also utilized the analysis of the three reference samples of amantadine
HCl, ambroxol HCl, and lercanidipine to conrm the performance of the PULCON
method. They concluded that the PULCON method was effective in checking
the specications of commercial products. Additionally, it had the advantage,
compared to direct method 1H- NMR, as to not needing multiple calibrations of the
samples being evaluated. [17]
Abraham et al., utilized another unique method of NMR spectroscopy, known
as TD- NMR to analyze for counterfeit drugs. [8] This method did not require the
dissolving of samples in a deuterated solvent. Abraham determined the structures
of four different monoclonal antibodies, CM- 1, CM- 2, CM- 3, and CM- 4 (Selleck
Chemicals), and whether the drugs were diluted. They ran TD- NMR on samples at
an initial concentration of 5 mg/ mL. By changing the concentration of the buffer
mixed with the antibodies, it was possible to create thirteen variation sets of three
buffered solutions. The relaxation times changed depending of the combination
employed. It was observed that six samples had no API, and seven of them had
lower concentrations than declared. [8]
Casagrande et al.,. analyzed eight monoclonal antibodies samples found on
the Swiss market. [18] They prepared the samples by adding 10% D2O and
ran a 600 MHz 1H- NMR via the direct determination method. The internal

reference used was a typical monoclonal antibody from the Roche internal
spectral database. Two of the tested samples using showed the presence of
excipients and no API. One contained hydroxyethyl starch and another benzyl
alcohol. Three samples had low molecular weight API, while another had
methylprednisolone, diclofenac, or gemcitabine. Additionally, three samples
had the wrong biological altogether; being insulin, human serum albumin
(HSA), or gelatin. [18]
Some other studies utilizing NMR to detect counterfeit drugs, were from JinLee [19], Maruyama [20], and Reepmeyer [21]. They employed 1H- NMR and 13CNMR to identify and quantify adulterants in counterfeit drugs, such as in dietary
supplements, Saposhnikoviae radix (SA) herbal supplements, and OTC herbal
aphrodisiacs, respectively. Similarly, Remaud et al., [22] utilized 13C- NMR to
identify and quantify the contents of counterfeit aspirin and paracetamol.
Additional studies that utilized quantitative NMR via an analytical method
were by Holzgrabe [23], Malet- Martino [24], Schramek [25], and Kang [26].
Holzgrabe et al., utilized 500 MHz 1H- and 13C- NMR to analyze a sachet
of 2.617 g anti- rheumatic drug purchased from Vietnam. [23] They found
33% acetaminophen, 10% sulfamethoxazole, 1.6% indomethacin, and <1%
trimethoprim. Similarly, Malet- Martino et al., studied nine samples of dietary
supplements (DS) from South Europe claiming to contain a mix of herbs
and sugars. [24] By utilizing a 500 MHz 1H- NMR, four of the samples were
identied to be adulterated with the sildenal analogue, propoxylphenylthiohydroxyhomosildenal (PP- THHS), one had thiosildenal (THIO), two had
sildenal (SILD) and tetrahydropalmatine (THP), one had phentolamine (PHE),
and one had osthole (OST). [24] Schramek et al., utilized the analytical method
of 1H- NMR to quantify capsule samples of DS purchased from Germany. [25]
Using 2D- 1H- NMR- COSY, it was determined that the samples contained two
analogues of sildenal, piperazional, and isopiperazinonal in equal amounts.
[25] Kang et al., similarly analyzed 23 samples of weight- loss compounds
purchased from South Korea, by utilizing the analytical curve method on a 600
MHz via 1H- and 13C- NMR. [26] They found that ve out of 23 samples were
adulterated; three of them contained levothyroxine, and one each of sennoside
A, sennoside B, and phenolphthaleine. In addition, they found three unknown
adulterants in one of the samples. [26]
Some other studies that analyzed DS utilizing quantitative NMR were by MaletMartino [27], Pauli [28], Lachenmeier [29], and Hakkarainen [30]. Malet- Martino
et al., utilized a 500 MHz 1H- NMR to analyze 150 samples of sexual enhancement
DS purchased online in France. [27] They found sildenal in 27 samples, tadalal
in 19, vardenal in two, and ibanserin in four. [28] Similarly, Pauli et al., utilized
1
H- NMR on a 400 MHz instrument to analyze turmeric- containing DS samples
purchased in Italy. [28] They found 4.8%– 7.4% of adulterant synthetic curcumin
in the samples, which had been causing acute nonviral cholestatic hepatitis in
21 individuals in the country. [28] Lachenmeier et al., studied 16 DS samples

purchased online, utilizing 400 MHz 1H- NMR. [29] They found sibutramine
in three samples, mesterolone in two as well as oxymetholone, monacolin K,
vinpocetine, evodiamine, caffeine and testosterone propionate each in one sample.
[29] Another study by Hakkarainen et al., studied three samples of grapefruit
seed extract (GSE) purchased online in Sweden, by using the direct determination
method of NMR. [30] They utilized 1H- and 13C- NMR on 300 MHz and 600 MHz
broadband probe, and on 600 MHz cryogenic probe concurrently. They observed
that all three samples had benzethonium in addition to glycerol and water. No
authentic GSE was found in any of the samples.
Bogun et al., utilized direct determination method to analyze liquid
methamphetamine samples obtained from clandestine labs in New Zealand. [31]
They ran the analysis on a 40 MHz 1H- and 31P. They were able to identify and
quantify between phosphorus- containing acids or the equivalent basic anion. [31]
Similarly, Kaur et al., utilized 1H- and 31P- NMR on a 400 MHz instrument to
analyze three samples of blister packs of miltefosine purchased in Bangladesh.
[32] They observed that the samples had no APIs present. [32]
Quantitative studies are quite useful (see Table 7.1), however the actual
practicality in the eld is limited because they require the utilization of high- eld
NMR, which often have restrictions regarding cost and maintenance; particularly
cryogenic exchange. Often, a qualitative analysis of a sample is sufcient to
determine whether the API is present. Thus, low- eld and/ or benchtop NMR have
become increasingly popular.
7.4 QUALITATIVE NMR
Balayssac et al., used low- eld benchtop 1H- NMR to analyze counterfeit
weight- loss DS purchased online. [33] Initially, they qualied and quantied
40 samples of DS and categorized them to build statistical models. The samples
were grouped as nonadulterated, sibutramine- adulterated, phenolphthaleinadulterated, or adulterated with both sibutramine and phenolphthalein. Another
13 samples were purchased from the internet and analyzed to compare with
the previous 40 samples. The samples were dissolved in 1 mL of deuterated
methanol and a LF- 1H- NMR was run on a 60 MHz machine. Three of the
samples were phenolphthalein- adulterated and another three were sibutramineadulterated. The remaining seven were classied as non- adulterated, not
containing contaminants. [33]
Pagès et al., utilized benchtop cryogen- free LF- 1H- NMR, to detect and identify
adulterants in sexual enhancement and weight- loss DS. [34] Eleven sexual
enhancement and ve weight- loss samples were purchased from the internet
claimed to be “100% natural”. The samples were initially run on a 500 MHz HF-
1
H- NMR. The adulterants, sildenal and tadalal, were identied in ten of the
sexual enhancement and four weight- loss samples. These were also detected using
a 60 MHz benchtop instrument, validating the accuracy of LF- benchtop NMR in
detecting counterfeit drugs. [34]

Quantitative and Qualitative Determination of Counterfeit Drugs
Wilczyńki et al., utilized qualitative LF- 1H- NMR relaxometry to verify the
authenticity of a 100mg sample of “Viagra” purchased on the black market
in Poland, by comparing it to original Viagra. [35] The authors observed biexponential relaxation, hence two components were present in the counterfeit
product, while the original Viagra had a single- exponential relaxation process. As
a result, the authors concluded that LF- 1H- NMR relaxometry was useful to identify
counterfeit drugs. [35]
Some other qualitative studies have utilized high- eld (HF) 1H- NMR to
identify counterfeit drugs. Kesanakurti et al., analyzed 24 samples of Sarsaparilla,
a popular natural health product, purchased in Canada. [36] Included were one
sample each of Decalepis hamiltoni, Smilax ofcinalis, and Smilax oranata; ve
of Hemidesmus indicus; seven each of Smilax aris tolochiifolia and Pteridium
aquilinum; and two of Sarsaparilla root. The samples were analyzed in triplicate
on a 600 MHz instrument. The authors were able to identify and group the samples
into four taxonomically distant groups of Sarsaparilla. [36]
Rodomonte et al., utilized HF- NMR on both 1H and 13C nuclei on a 400 MHz
instrument to analyze 16 in- lab synthesized analogs of sildenal, thiosildenal, and
acetilsildenal. [37] The synthesized samples included sildenal, homosildenal,
hydroxysildenal, dimethylsildenal, piperidinosildenal, pyrrolidinosildenal,
morpholinosildenal, diethylaminosildenal, thiosildenal, thiohomosildenal,
thiohydroxyhomosildenal, thiodimethylsildenal, noracetilsildenal,
acetilsildenal, hydroxyacetilsildenal, dimethylacetilsildenal, and
morpholinoacetilsilddenal. They aimed to create a reference for future analysis of
counterfeit drugs. Using HF- NMR they found which signals of the samples were
predictive of adulterants. Of the 16 synthetic samples, 14 were already reported
in the literature. Pyrrolidinosildenal was novel, while diethylaminosildenal was
previously cited, but never as an adulterant. [37]
Similarly, Hasegawa et al., utilized 1H- and 13C- NMR to identify the DS “khaki
powder”, marketed for tonic effect, purchased online. [38] They dissolved the
sample in DMSO- d6 and ran the NMR on an 800 MHz instrument. They were
able to detect tadalal in the sample which was further conrmed by HPLC and
MS. [38]
Goda et al., tested herbal supplements, by utilizing 1H- and 13C- NMR on samples
mixed dried plants purchased online in Japan. [39] They were able to detect the
presence of a cannabimimetic phenyl- acetyl indole in the samples, which was
conrmed utilizing MS. [39]
Additional experiments provided more clarity and identity of samples utilizing
HF- 2D- NMR. For example, Venâncio et al., utilized 2D- DOSY- NMR to identify a
sample of an anti- inammatory drug sold illegally in Brazil. [40] Using a 400 MHz
NMR, they found ranitidine and a mixture of orphenadrine citrate, piroxicam, and
dexamethasone in the samples. Similarly, Fernández et al., analyzed 16 tablets
of artesunate, an antimalarial drug purchased in Cambodia utilizing 2D- DOSY-
1
H- NMR on a 500 MHz instrument. [41] They determined that only six of the
samples were genuine, while the remaining ten containing the wrong API, such as

acetaminophen, and/ or excipients were starch, lactose, sucrose, dextrin, or stearate.
Additionally, Rebiere et al., utilized 2D- NMR on a 500 MHz instrument to analyze
sixteen suspicious samples of so- called Viagra obtained from India, Syria, and
China. [42] They found adulterants such as, sildenal citrate as the API as well
as polyethylene glycol instead of lactose and triacetin as the excipients. [42]
Likewise, Esteve- Turrillas et al., utilized 2D- DOSY- NMR on a sample of ketamine
purchased online. [43] They found the presence of 3’,4’- methylenedioxy- 2,2dibromobutyrophenone, which they conrmed via IR and GC/ MS. [43] Similarly,
Göker et al., utilized the same method to analyze two cans of 150 mL each of
energy drinks purchased in Turkey. [44] They found the presence of propoxyphenyl
which they veried using IR and MS. [44] Overall, the use of NMR to qualitatively
identify counterfeits has been shown to be an effective, but costly, approach (see
Table 7.2).
7.5 CONCLUSION
NMR spectroscopy is an effective approach for detecting and quantifying both the
APIs and impurities in counterfeit drugs. Different methods, such as quantitative
and qualitative NMR, have been utilized each with their own inherent advantages
and disadvantages (see Table 7.3). Compared to other techniques, NMR is faster,
nondestructive, and is able to identify and quantify APIs. Conversely, NMR is
costly and often requires highly trained technicians to operate and interpret the data.
Of the quantitative NMR approaches, the direct determination method was
effective as it did not require the need for reference standards. This is especially
useful when these standards are not readily available, such as with new drugs.
PULCON was particularly unique in not needing multiple calibrations of samples
being analyzed, while TD- NMR did not need the sample to be dissolved in a
deuterated solvent. Utilizing polarization transfer methods such as DEPT and
INEPT, it was possible to determine a ngerprint for different manufacturers so
that the origin of the drug could be identied. Despite these advantages, there are
some setbacks to the quantitative analysis and NMR in general. NMR instruments
are often big and expensive, as well as costly to maintain. Additionally, they can be
complex to operate, and with HF- NMR require a cryogenic exchange.
Of the qualitative analysis, the benchtop and LF- NMR were effective for rapid
screening to identify the components of counterfeit drugs. These studies utilize
much simpler and less expensive NMR machines that require less space and
complexity to operate. However, they are not as precise and may not be able to
identify all compounds.
NMR is a powerful technology effective in identifying and quantifying potential
counterfeit drugs, as well as creating a ngerprint to nd their origin. Hence, it
contributes to overcoming the illegal drug market and controlling the general
public health threat.
