Objective Evaluation of ochratoxin A (OTA) contamination inGejie Dingchuan Pills. Methods Eighty-six samples from sevenpharmaceutical manufacturers were analyzed for OTA content usingultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.Results The method displayed excellent linearity within the range ofconcentrations ${0.1}\sim {10}\mathrm{{ng}}/\mathrm{{mL}}$ .The limits of detection and quantification were ${0.2}\mathrm{{\mu g}}/\mathrm{{kg}}$ and $1\mathrm{{\mu g}}/\mathrm{{kg}}$ ,respectively. Seventy-two samples were detected to be contaminated withOTA, resulting in an 84% positive rate. Furthermore, ten samples failedto meet the required standards, reflecting a failure rate of 12%. Theactual sample test results showed that the OTA detection rate of GejieDingchuan pills was high and the pollution was serious, which suggestedthe urgency of detecting and determining the maximum OTA limit ofproprietary Chinese medicine. Conclusion This study assesses the extentof OTA contamination in Gejie Dingchuan pills, offering a scientificbasis for future investigations of OTA maximum limits in Chineseproprietary medicines.
