Study on quality standard for Shentaipikang Granules / 中成药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To establish the quality standard for Shentaipikang Granules (Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum, Herba Epimedii, Herba Cistanches, Cortex Phellodendri, etc). Methods: Counu Cervi Pantotrichum in this prescription was examined by microscopical identification. Cortex Phellodendri, Rhizoma Dioscoreae and Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae were identified by TLC. Radix Rehmanniae was identified by HPLC. Icariin was determined by HPLC. Results: Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum could be examined by microscopical identification, Cortex Phellodendri, Rhizoma Dioscoreae and Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae by TLC, and Radix Rehmanniae by HPLC. Icariin showed a good linear relationship at a range of 0.104 ～ 0.624 ?g , r = 0.9998 . The average recovery was 100.1% and RSD was 1.3% ( n =9) respectively. Conclusion: These methods are simple, accurate and specific and can be used for the quality control of Shentaipikang Granules.
