ABSTRACT
AIM: To provide a basis for appraising quality standard of Baohe Pill (Fructus Gataegi, Massa medicata fermentata, Rhizoma pinelliae, Pericapium citr reticulatae, Fructus forsythiae, Semen raphani, Fructus Mordei germinatus, Poria) inclusive of its RP-HPLC fingerprint chromatogram. METHODS: The chromatographic column was Kromasil C_ 18 column (4.6 mm?250 mm, i.d, 5-?m particle size). The mobile phase was 0.5% solution of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (NH_4H_2PO_4), and the flow rate was 0.8 mL/min with UV detector at 214 nm. RESULTS: The RP-HPLC fingerprint chromatogram of Baohe Pill was established. In the experiment, for precision and repeatability, the RSD of each area of common peak was less than 3%. CONCLUSION: This method is simple and reliable.
