ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To establish the fingerprint of Fritillariae thunbergii formula granules and determine the contents of 3 components. METHODS ：HPLC method was used. Using peiminine as reference ，HPLC fingerprints of 13 batches of F. thunbergii formula granules were drawn with Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatogram Fingerprint （2012 edition）. Similarity evaluation and common peak identification were conducted. The contents of peimisine ，peimine and peiminine in F. thunbergii formula granules were determined by the same HPLC method. The quality difference of samples were compared among different manufacturers. RESULTS ：There were 5 common peaks in 13 batches of F. thunbergii formula granules ，and the similarity was 0.669-0.971. Three common peaks of peimisine ，peimine and peiminine were identified. The linear ranges of peimisine ，peimine and peiminine were 30.00-180.00 μg/mL（r＝0.999 9），79.58-477.50 μg/mL（r＝0.999 6）and 97.33-584.00 μg/mL（r＝0.999 4）， respectively. RSDs of precision ，stability（24 h）and reproducibility tests were all lower than 3％. The average recoveries were 95.82％（RSD＝1.17％，n＝6），99.00％（RSD＝1.96％，n＝6）and 95.39％（RSD＝2.00％，n＝6），respectively. In the 13 batches of samples ，the content of peimisine ，peimine and peiminine were 0.17-1.02 mg/g，0.52-2.26 mg/g，and 0.70-3.50 mg/g， respectively. Their average total content was 3.62 mg/g. The average total content of manufacturer C and A was higher （5.02 mg/g and 4.61 mg/g），followed by manufacturer E and B （3.48 mg/g and 3.02 mg/g）；the lowest was manufacturer D（only 1.87 mg/g）. CONCLUSIONS：Established fingerpri nt and content determination method is simple ，feasible and reproducible ，which can be used for the quality evaluation of F. thunbergii formula granules. There are some differences in content among different manufacturers.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To estab lish a me thod for simultaneous determination of morroniside ，loganin，echinacoside and acteoside in Huanshao capsules. METHODS ：HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Zhongpuhong RD-C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile- 0.1％ formic acid solution （gradient elution ）at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 240 nm （morroniside，loganin） and 330 nm （echinacoside，acteoside）. The column temperature was set at 35 ℃，and sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS：The linear range were 5.29-105.80 μg/mL for morroniside， 4.49-89.88 mg/L for loganin ，16.26-325.25 mg/L for echinacoside and 16.31-326.25 mg/L for acteoside ，r values were 0.999 9. RSDs of precision ，stability （24 h），reproducibility and durability tests were all lower than 2.0％ . The recoveries were 94.34％ -96.23％（RSD＝0.81％ ，n＝6），97.04％ -98.89％（RSD＝0.73％ ，n＝6），96.23％ -98.08％（RSD＝0.82％ ，n＝6）， 95.40％-98.47％（RSD＝1.23％，n＝6），respectively. The contents of above 4 components in 11 batches of Huanshao Capsules were 0.190-0.704，0.439-0.857，2.723-4.475 and 0.589-1.035 mg/g，respectively. CONCLUSIONS ：Established method is specific ， precise and can be used for content determination of 4 components in Huanshao capsules.
