Study on Quality Standards of Zaoshenanshen Granule

OBJECTIVE To establish the method for quality control of Zaoshenanshen granule. METHODS TLC was performed to identify Ziziphi Spinosae Semen, Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, Poria, Mori Fructus, Chrysanthemi Flos in the granules. HPLC was used to determine the content of hesperidin. RESULTS The TLC identification was highly specific. The method of content determination was simple and accurate. The linearity of hesperidin was obtained over the range of 136.32-2 453.76 ng(r=1.000). The average recovery rate of hesperidin was 96.69% with RSD of 1.10%(n=9). CONCLUSION This quality standard is effective in the quality control of Zaoshenanshen granule.
