OBJECTIVE:To improve the quality standard of Shuangshen capsule. METHODS: TLC was conducted for the qualitative identification of Curcumnae radix and Rehmannia glutinosa in the preparation. HPLC was used for the content determination of salvianolic acid B in the preparation: the column was Diamonsil C18(2) with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1% H3PO4(22 ∶ 78,V/V) at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min, detection wavelength was 286 nm, column temperature was 30 ℃, and the injection volume was 2 μl. RESULTS: The TLC spots of C. radix and R. glutinosa were clear and well separated; the linear range of salvianolic acid B was 0.079 2-0.792 μg(r=0.999 9); RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 1%; recovery was 100.71%-101.82%(RSD=0.50%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS:The established standard can be used for the quality control of Shuangshen capsule.
