ABSTRACT
AIM:To establish the quality standard for Pheretima Dispensing Granules.METHODS:Pheretima Dispensing Granules were identified by TLC.The content of hypoxanthine in Pheretima Dispensing Granules was determined by HPLC,and succinic acid by high performance capillary electrophoresis HPCE.RESULTS:Spots obtained from the test solutions had the same color as amino acid reference solution,Pheretima reference substance and the blank solution had no interference.The contents of hypoxanthine were in the range of 1.6 mg/bag-3.3 mg/bag and succinic acid 23.58 mg/bag-35.38 mg/bag in Pheretima Dispensing Granules,respectively.CONCLUSION:The methods of identification and quantification were accurate,realizable and reproducible.It can be used effectively for the quality control for Dispensing Granules.
