RESUMO
Objective:To establish a bacterial endotoxin test for safflower yellow for injection to control the drug quality and reduce the incidence of clinical pyrogenic reaction. Methods:The bacterial endotoxin test was carried out according to the methods and guid-ing principles in Chinese Pharmacopoeia ( 2015 edition, volumeⅣ) . A systematic study was carried out to investigate the interference of safflower yellow for injection with limulus reagent and agglutination reaction to bacterial endotoxin in order to detect the non-interfer-ence concentration of bacterial endotoxin. Results: Safflower yellow for injection with the concentration below or equal to 0. 4 mg· ml-1 had no interference with tachypiens amebocyte lysate. Conclusion: Bacterial endotoxin test ( gel method) can be used for the limit test of bacterial endotoxin of safflower yellow for injection, and the results are accurate and reproducible.
