Study of Quality Standard for Shuangbai Quyu Powder / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study and promote the quality standard for Shuangbai Quyu powder. Methods:A microscopic identifi-cation method was performed to identify Phellodendri amurensis cortex, Rhei radix et rhizoma, Platycladi cacumen and Andrographis herba. TLC was performed to identify Phellodendri amurensis cortex, Andrographis herba and Rhei radix et rhizoma. HPLC was used to determine the content of berberine hydrochloride in Phellodendri amurensis cortex. and the lower limit was determined. Results: The microscopic identification method was simple. The spots in TLC were distinct without any interference from the negative coutrol. Ber-berine hydrochloride had a good linear range of 0. 010-0. 400 μg(r=0. 999 9). The average recovery was 99. 51%, and RSD was 0. 31% (n=6). Conclusion:The method can be used for the quality control of Shuangbai Quyu powder effectively,which is beneficial to the quality standard promotion of hospital preparations.
