OBJECTIVE
To establish a method for the determination of triptophenolide in Chinese herb Leigongteng (Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f.).


METHODS
TLCS was used. The sample was purified with a column and developed upwardly with CHCl3-EtOEt(2:1), sprayed with Keddle testing solution and scanned. The content was calculated with external two-point method.
