title: [Studies on quality specification standards for Saposhnicovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To work out a qualitative-quantitative standard for Saposhnikovia divaricata.
  
  
  METHODS
  TLC and HPLC were adopted.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Four chromone compounds were identified by TLC, and the contents of two chromone compounds were determined by HPLC.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, 4'-O-beta-D-glucosyl-5-O-methylvisamminol, sec-O-glucosylhamaudol and cimifugin should be present simultaneously in S. divaricata. The contents of prim-O-glucosylcimifugin and 4'-O-beta-D-glucosyl-5-O-methylvisamminol in S. divaricata should not be lower than 0.12% respectively.
