OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the contents determination of tanshinol,protocatechuic aldehyde,ferulic ac-id and salvianolic acid B in Yixinshu capsule. METHODS:Dual-wavelength HPLC was performed on the column of Eclipse XDB-C18 with mobile phase of 0.5%phosphoric acid-methanol-acetonitrile(gradient elution)at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,the de-tection wavelength was 280 nm(tanshinol,protocatechuic aldehyde,salvianolic acid B)and 320 nm(ferulic acid),column tempera-ture was 30℃and volume was 10 μl. RESULTS:The linear range of tanshinol,protocatechuic aldehyde,ferulic acid and salvianolic acid B were respectively 9-144μg/ml(r=0.999 9),0.5-8μg/ml(r=0.999 9),0.65-10.4μg/ml(r=0.999 9)and 221.25-3 540μg/ml (r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were no more than 1.90%;the average recovery was respective-ly 100.8%(RSD=1.65%,n=9),100.1%(RSD=2.87%,n=9),100.1%(RSD=3.01%,n=9) and 99.4%(RSD=2.05%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple and reproducible,and can be used for the quality control of Yixinshu capsule.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for simultaneous determination of tanshinol,protocatechuic aldehyde,paeoni-florin,ferulic acid and salvianolic acid B in Shenshao oral liquid. METHODS:RP-HPLC was performed on the column of Eclipse XDB C18 with mobile phase of 0.5%phosphoric acid-methanol-acetonitrile(gradient elution)at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,the de-tection wavelength was 280,230 and 320 nm,column temperature was 30 ℃ and volume was 10 μl. RESULTS:Under the chro-matographic conditions,5 kinds of components could be completely separated,the linear range of tanshinol,protocatechuic alde-hyde,paeoniflorin,ferulic acid and salvianolic acid B were respectively 24-384 μg/ml(r=0.999 9),1.25-20 μg/ml(r=0.999 9), 40.5-648 μg/ml(r=0.999 8),1.5-24 μg/ml(r=0.999 9),145-2 320 μg/ml(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproduc-ibility tests were no more than 2.2%;the average recovery was respectively 100.7%(RSD=1.23%,n=9),100.0%(RSD=2.19%,n=9),99.6%(RSD=0.87%,n=9),100.3%(RSD=1.11%,n=9) and 99.3%(RSD=2.46%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS:The method is specific with good precision and reproducibility,and can be used for the content determination of 5 components in Shenshao oral liquid.

Objective To investigate the history, current situation and ecological environment of Chongqing wild and cultivated Fritillaria taipaiensis resources; To provide references for protection and industrial development of Fritillaria taipaiensis resources. Methods Data query, on-the-spot investigation and follow-up survey were used in the study. Results Chongqing Fritillaria taipaiensis was in the medical records since 1843. Now 5 counties have wild Fritillaria taipaiensis resources and 6 districts have cultivated Fritillaria taipaiensis resources, with 6 typical ecological types. Conclusion Chongqing wild Fritillaria taipaiensis resources are wide distributed and with long history of medical usage. Chongqing is the original producing area of Fritillaria taipaiensis, which has been destroyed by human factors. Fritillaria taipaiensis resources in several districts have become extinct, however, the cultivated Fritillaria taipaiensis resources is developing rapidly.
