Objective:To compare the contents of notoginsenoside R1 , ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Rb1 between Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma and its formula granules. Methods:An HPLC method was used with a SunFire C18 column (250mm × 4. 6 mm, 5μm),the flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1, the detection wavelength was set at 203 nm, and the column temperature was at 30 ℃. The mobile phase was acetonitrile( A)-water( B) with gradient elution. An HPLC was used to determine the contents of the three ingredi-ents between Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma and its formula granules, and compare the differences. Results: The total content of the three ingredients in Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma and its formula granules was 9. 214% and 8. 646%, respectively.
