OBJECTIVE：To establish the method for the content de termination of 17 quality markers in Dahuang zhechong pills（DHZCP）. METHODS ：HPLC method was adopted to determine the contents of 17 quality markers in 10 batches of DHZCP ， such as allantoin ，hypoxanthine，salidroside，hydroxypaeoniflorin，glycyrrhizin，isoglycyrrhizin，baicalin，p-methoxyphenylacetic acid，wogonin，cinnamic acid ，apigenin，naringin，norwogonin，aloe emodin ，rhein，chrysin，emodin. The determination was performed on Kromasil 100-5-C18（250 mm × 4.6 mm，5 μm）column with mobile phase consisted of 0.1％ phosphoric acid solution-acetonitrile （gradient elution ） at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature was 30 ℃ ，the detection wavelength was 210 nm and the sample size was 20 μ L. RESULTS：The linear range of above 17 quality markers were 5.74-183.53，6.51-208.24，4.30-137.65，4.60-147.06，4.12-131.76，4.25-135.88，6.31-201.76，4.60-147.06，1.94-62.06，4.47- 142.94，0.69-22.06，2.29-73.24，2.33-74.41，1.42-45.29，6.65-212.94，1.11-35.44 and 1.47-47.06 μg/mL，respectively（all R2≥ 0.999 0）. RSDs of precision ，repeatability，stability and durability tests were all less than 2％（n＝6）；average recovery of 17 quality markers ranged from 96.31％ to 101.73％，and the RSDs were less than 3％（n＝6）. CONCLUSIONS ：The method is simple， rapid，speific，specise，reproducible，stable，accurate and durable ，and can be used for improving the quality standard of DHZCP.
