ABSTRACT
AIM: To establish the quality standard for Haimo Blood-Stanching Tablets(cuttle fish sepia) by means of quantitative and qualitative experiments. METHODS: Melanin was identified by physics and chemistry reaction.Gly,Asp,Glu and Ala in Haimo Blood-Stanching Tablets were determined by HPLC-AccQ-Tag method and iron was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. RESULTS: Melanin in sepia could be dissolved in 2 mol/L NaOH and there was something black separated out when in 2 mol/L HCl.The recoveries of four kinds of(amino) acids and iron were all in the range of 95%-105%.Each RSD was below 5%(n=6). CONCLUSION: The quantitative and qualitative analysis methods are accurate and reproducible.This study provides a method for the quality control of Haimo Blood-Stanching Tablets.
