Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To enhance the quality standard of Zuozhudaxi. METHODS Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was employed to identify Bear Gall,Calculus Bovis,Aucklandia lappa Decne, Syzygium aromaticum(L.) Merr.et Perry (Clove) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was applied for the identification of Semen strychni,while high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was applied for the determination of Crocin- I in Croci Stigma in Zuoxidazhu. RESULTS The identification by TLC and HPLC were distinct and highly specific. A linearity was obtained from 0.031 62 μg to 0.284 58 μg of Crocin-I in Zuozhudaxi with a good correlation (
r=0.9997,
n=6).The average recovery was 97.7%,and RSD was 1.55(
n=7). CONCLUSION The method is reliable, accurate and specific and can be used for quality control of Zuozhudaxi.
