AIM:To establish the fingerprint chromatogram of amino acids compounds of Xiasangju Granules(Spica Prunellae,Flos Chrysanthemi indici,Folium mori.).METHODS:To apply 6-aminoqtiinoly-N-hydroxysuccinimdyl carbamate(AQC) pre-column derivatization HPLC method.Separation was performed on SYMMETRY C_(18)(150 mm?(4.6) mm,5 ?m) analytical column with mobile phase consisting of acetate(pH=(5.05)) and 60% acetonitrile with gradient elution with the flow rate(1.0) mL/min and the column temperature at 37 ℃.The Fluorescence wavelength used for detection was set at 250 nm(Excitation wavelength) and 395 nm(Emission wavelength) and the analysis time was 50 min.RESULTS:12 co-peaks on the HPLC fingerprints of Xiasangju Granules were indicated.The similarities were determined by the coefficients of cosine and correlation.The results of similarity analysis were(0.95)-(1.00).CONCLUSION:Perfect fingerprints were obtained which can be used for the quality control of Xiasangju Granules.

AIM: To establish an effective and convenient method for applying HPLC fingerprints to quality control in the production of Xiasangju Granules(Spica prunellae,Folium mori,Flos chrysanthemi). METHODS: Komasil Sunfrie C_(18)(150 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) analytical column was used and eluted with a gradient program consisted of phase A(1% acetic acid) and phase B(methanol) and detected at 290 nm.The fingerprints of aqueous extract,alcohol-precipitated extract,concentrate and finished product were compared with. RESULTS: The fingerprint method for Xiasangju Granules was established.The similarity among 10 batches of Xiasangju Granules was no less than 0.970.The difference between extracts and finished product of Xiasangju Granules was obvious. CONCLUSION: This validated method is available for quality evaluation and quality control in Xiasangju Granule's production.
