Study on Quality Control of Zhiqikang Capsules / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective:To establish the quality control of Zhiqikang capsules. Methods:TLC was used to identify Gastrodia tuder halimasch, rhubarb and Astragalus mongholicus in the preparations. A spectrophotometry method with 3, 5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) was used to measure the polysaccharide content in Zhiqikang capsules. A spectrophotometry method with Forint phenol method ( Low-ry) was used to measure the peptide content in the capsules. Results:The linear range of polysaccharide was obtained between 6. 412 and 32. 060μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 5), the average recovery was 95. 86% and RSD was 0. 86%. The linear range of peptide was ob-tained between 0.059 7 and 0.298 4 mg·ml-1(r=0.999 0), the average recovery was 100.3% and RSD was 1.88%(n=6). Conclusion:The assay method is simple and accurate in the quality control of the preparations.
