OBJECTIVE To optimize and improve the quality standard of compound Banmao capsules.
METHODS Ginsenoside Rb1, ginsenoside Re, ginsenoside Rg1 in Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, astragaloside Ⅳ in Astragali Radix, Acanthopanacis Senticosi Radix et Rhizoma Seu Caulis and isofraxidin were identified by thin-layer chromatography(TLC). Limit inspection of cantharidin was detected by GC. Ligustrin, monoside, loganin, scutellarin and scutellarein were determined simultaneous by HPLC. Cosmosil C18(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) column was used with acetonitrile-0.3% phosphoric acid solution as mobile phase in gradient elution at a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min–1, and the detection wavelength were 224, 240, 335 nm, the column temperature was 40 ℃.
RESULTS Microscopic feature was found easily. The spots in the TLC were clear with good reproducibility. The linear ranges of ligustrin, monoside, loganin, scutellarin and scutellarein were 0.001896−0.5309 μg, 0.01998−0.5594 μg, 0.02028−0.5677 μg, 0.01946−0.5447 μg and 0.008935−0.2502 μg. The average recoveries were 103.87%, 97.21%, 96.32%, 97.52%, 98.18%.
CONCLUSION The established method is stable reliable, highly specific, simple, efficient, and more comprehensive control of the overall quality of compound Banmao capsules, which provides reference for its quality evaluation.
