HPLC fingerprints of Mahuangtang dispensing granule and standard decoction / 中成药

ABSTRACT

AIM: To study the difference in main chemical composition and content between Mahuangtang Herb Ephedrae;Radix et Rhizoma Gly Cyrrhizae;Ramulus Cinnamoni;Semen Armeniacea Amarum;dispensing granule and its standard decoction. METHODS: RP-HPLC was used to create fingerprinits with MeOH-0.01 mol/L KH_2PO_4(H_3PO_4 adjusted pH=3),a gradient eluting agent. RESULTS: 26 co-possessing peaks were indicated,the retention time and relative peak area were obtained. CONCLUSION: The difference between Mahuangtang dispensing granule and standard decoction is not obvious,the former is rational.
