Abstract:Objective: To establish the standard for quality control of Shentao Ruangan capsules. Method: Panax ginseng,Angelica sinensis,Salvia miltiorrhiza,Rheum officinale were identified qualitatively by TCL.The content of ginsenoside Rb1was determined by HPLC,chromatographic conditions were as follows:with acetonitrile-water as mobile phase in gradient elution,the detection wavelength of 203 nm,the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1. Result: TCL were reflecting a good specificity and could detect target substance with spots were clear and negative control was without interference.Ginsenoside Rb1 showed a good linearity at the range of 0.406-4.059 7 μg(r=0.999 7),the average recovery was 100.96% with RSD 1.16%. Conclusion: This established method was simple,accurate and reproducible,which could effectively control the quality of Shentao Ruangan capsules.
