Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To develop a method of quality control for Xiongju Shangqing pills. METHODS Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, Flos Chrysanthemi, Fructus Gardeniae and Rhizoma Coptidis were identified by TLC. HPLC was used for the determination of baicalin. RESULTS The chromatographic spots were identified without the interference of negative control. Baicalin had a good linearity over the concentration range of 0.004 96-0.248 mg·mL-1, the average recoveries was 96.6% with relatively standard deviations of 1.1%. CONCLUSION This method was found to be reliable, accurate and specific, it can be used for the quality control of Xiongju Shangqing pills.
