title: [Studies on purification of the extract of fructus Gardeniae for injection by macroreticular resins].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To purify the extract of fructus gardeniae for injection by macroreticular resins in purification process of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Injections.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using fructus gardeniae as sample, on base of obtaining the extract by employing macroreticular resin, quality evaluation and rationality of purification methods had been studied by the quantitative analysis of active ingredients and the characteristics of micromeritics, safety and stability of the extract.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The experiment showed the extract of fructus gardeniae for injection had been produced successfully by macroreticular resin.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Using macroreticular resins is a promising purification way of TCM injections, whereas a more consummate method of quality evaluation must be established to ensure safety, efficiency and stability of the preparation in the process.
