OBJECTIVETo establish the method for the quality control of Xuefuzhuyu granule.

METHODThe content of Semen Armeniacae Amarum PE, Hydroxysafflor yellow A, paeoniflorin and ferulic acid in Xuefuzhuyu granule were determined by HPLC under multi-wavelength of 210, 403, 230, 316 nm.

RESULTThe calibration curve of Semen Armeniacae Amarum PE. hydroxysafflor yellow A, paeoniflorin and ferulic acid were linear within 0.1154-0.9232 (r = 0.9998), 0.0219-0.1754 (r = 0.9994), 0.3952-3.1616 (r = 0.9995), and 0.0426-0.3408 microg (r = 0.9998), respectively. The average recoveries were 101.78% (RSD was 1.7%), 99.60% (RSD was 2.9%), 98.90% (RSD was 2.0%), and 100.31% (RSD was 1.8%), respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe method of quantification is accurate, rapid and reliable for the quality control of Xuefuzhuyu granule.
