OBJECTIVE: To establish quality standard for Zhuang medicine Homalocladium platycladum. METHODS: TLC method was used for qualitative identification. HPLC method was used to determine the content of quercetrin in samples: Agilent Zorbax SB-C18 column, mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% acetic acid (20 ∶ 80,V/V), flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, detection wavelength of 360 nm, column temperature of 30 ℃,injection volume of 10 μL. The contents of moisture, total ash and extract in samples were determined. referring to Chinese Pharmacopiea(2015 edition). RESULTS: TLC spots of H. platycladum were clear and well-separated without interference from negative control. The linear range of quercetin were 0.023-0.46 mg/mL(r=0.999 1). RSDs of precision, stability and repeatability tests were all lower than 2.0%. The average recoveries were 98.01%-103.05% (RSD=1.71%,n=6). The contents of moisture, total ash,extract and quercetrin in samples were 6.39%-9.78%, 2.82%-8.07%, 0.02%-0.27%, 14.14%-28.45%, 0.09%-0.50% respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Established trial can be used for quality control of Zhuang medicine H. platycladum.
