AIM: To simutaneously determinate the four components of dipyridamole, quercetin,kaempferol and isorhamnetin in Ginkgo-Leaf-Extract Dipyridamole Injection by the reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC). METHODS: Ginkgo-Leaf-Extract Dipyridamole Injection was determined by RP-HPLC on Scienhome Kromasil C_ 18 (250 mm? 4.6 mm, 5 ?m) column. The mobile phase consisted of methanol and 0.4% phosphoric acid solution (55∶ 45, v/v), the flow rate of 0.80 mL/min and UV detection wavelength at 360 nm were set to determine the contents of the four components. RESULTS: There were good linear relationships between peak area and concentration of the four components, and the calibration curves were linear in the ranges of 21.7 -261.0 ?g/mL for dipyridamole, 8.0 -96.0 ?g/mL for quercetin, 7.75 -93.0 ?g/mL for kaempferol, 5.75 -69.0 ?g/mL for isorhamnetin. The precisions for dipyridamole, quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin were 1.16% , 1.35% , 1.21% and 1.58% , respectively. The average recoveries were 100.3% , 100.0% , 99.86% and 99.80% , respectively. CONCLUSION: The four components of the dipyridamole, quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin in Ginkgo-Left-Extract Dipyridamole Injection are determined at the same time, and the method is simple, sensitive and accurate.

AIM:To establish the assessing method of traditional Chinese medicine chromatogrphic fingerprints by the involution similarity and quantitative involution similarity and its application. METHODS: The fingerprint of Ginkgo biloba L.extract(GBE) was evaluated by the involution similarity and quantitative involution similarity,and the contrast studies were implemented by other appraisal targets,eg.the included angle cosine S_F,the correlation coefficient r and the indexes with quantitative characteristic,such as the apparently quantitative similarity R%、the average mass percent M%,etc.. RESULTS: The involution similarity could reflect the similarity change in each sample from different bathes and be of quantitative function.The quantitative involution similarity and quantitative weighted similarity could perfectly reflect the changes in contents of the consituents of GBE. CONCLUSION: The involution similarity and quantitative involution similarity can qualitatively and quantitatively assess the similarity between sample and the referential fingerprint.They are certainly the novel method of evaluating the traditional Chinese medicine chromatographic fingerprints.
