OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the contents determination of microelements in Chrysanthemum indicum from different production fields. METHODS:Graphite furnace atomic absorption (GFAAS) was used to determine the contents of Pb,Cd and As;HGAAS was used to determination the content of Hg;and FAAS was used to determine the contents of Cu,Fe, Mn,Ca,Mg and Zn. RESULTS:The linear range was 0-50 μg/L for Pb(r=0.999 9),0-10 μg/L for Cd(r=0.999 2),0-50 μg/L for As(r=0.999 0),0-20 μg/L for Hg(r=0.999 5),0-5 μg/L for Cu(r=0.999 3),0-15 μg/L for Fe(r=0.999 8),0-2 μg/L for Mn (r=0.999 9),0-50 μg/L for Ca(r=1.000 0),0-20 μg/L for Mg(r=0.999 9)and 0-2 μg/L for Zn(r=0.999 8);RSDs of precision, stability and reroducibility tests were lower than 3%;recoveries were 94.25%~97.43%(RSD=1.07%)、94.97%~99.46%(RSD=1.68%)、96.25%~99.46%(RSD=1.09%,n=6)、96.61%~99.91%(RSD=1.26%,n=6)、94.11%~98.41%(RSD=1.68%,n=6)、93.11%~99.59%(RSD=2.73%,n=6)、93.11%~99.48%(RSD=2.63%,n=6)、93.01%~99.85%(RSD=2.49%,n=6)、95.13%~99.75%(RSD=1.58%,n=6)、94.08%~97.37%(RSD=1.18%,n=6),respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,stable and reproducible,and can be used for the contents determination of microelements in C. indicum from different pro-duction fields.

Objective To establish the HPLC fingerprint of Taoren Xikang pills and provide the method for the quality control and evaluation of the preparation. Methods Methanol extracts of ten batches of Taoren Xikang pills were analyzed with HPLC-UV method. Analysis was performed on C18 column (4.6 mm× 250 mm, 5 μm) with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-water gradient eluted at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was 203 nm. Results A standard HPLC fingerprint procedure was developed for Taoren Xikang pills with 26 common peaks. The similarity of 10 batches of Taoren Xikang pills was not lower than 0.9. Conclusion The method is accurate, repeatable and can be used for the quality control of Taoren Xikang pills.

Objective To establish an evaluation system of HPLC fingerprint of Wanbiqing Pills; To provide references for the quality control ofWanbiqing Pills.Methods Wanbiqing Pills were analyzed with HPLC method. Analysis was performed on Agilent C18 column (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5μm) with the mobile phase of acetonitrile- 0.1%H3PO4 water gradient elution at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was 258 nm. Sample injection was 20μL. Standard fingerprint ofWanbiqing Pills was established based on Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM (Version 2004 A). The similarity ofWanbiqing Pills from different batches was computed.Results A standard HPLC fingerprint procedure was developed forWanbiqing Pills with 20 common peaks. The similarity of 10 batches ofWanbiqing Pills was not lower than 0.98. Five peaks received chemical confirmation.Conclusion The HPLC method is stable and feasible and with good repeatability, which can be used for the quality control ofWanbiqing Pills.
