[Objectives]To screen optimum conditions of HPLC and TLC for qualitative discrimination of berberine hydrochloride contained in Jin Weng Zhili Particle,thus providing basis for quality standard. [Methods]According to the method described in Chinese Veterinary Pharmacopoeia,thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography were used respectively for qualitative and quantitative identification of berberine hydrochloride contained in Jin Weng Zhili Particle by improving the conditions of extraction and purification. [Results]After optimizing TLC conditions of Jin Weng Zhili Particle,the separation effect of TLC of test samples was favorable. The spot color was clear,reproducibility was good,and precision was high. Under the conditions of mobile phase constituted by acetonitrile-water-glacial acetic acid-triethylamine( 28∶ 70∶ 1∶ 1),detection wavelength of 265 nm,flow rate of 1. 0 m L min~(-1)and column temperature of 35℃,the resolution of berberine hydrochloride was good; the injection volume in the range of 3. 15-50 μg· m L~(-1)had good linear relationship with the peak area( R~2= 0. 998); the average sample recovery rate(n=6) was 5. 672%,and RSD was 0. 864%; the content of berberine hydrochloride contained in Jin Weng Zhili Particle was 4. 023 mg. [Conclusions]The method was of good feasibility,reproducibility and specificity,and could be used for qualitative and quantitative detection of berberine hydrochloride contained in Jin Weng Zhili Particle.
