title: [Influence of compatibility on content of berberine in Maxingganshi decoction].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To set up the quantitative method of herberine in decoctions prepared from various combinations of Maxingganshi decotion by HPLC and to determine the change of general contents in different decoction.
  
  
  METHODS
  The study was designed by L8 (2(7)) orthogonal and to determine the change of general contents in different decoction by HPLC.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In full formula remove Glycyrrhiza uralensis group, the contents of L-ephedrine, d-pseudephedrine and the amygdaloside cut down significantly. In full formula remove armeniacae semen group, the content of glycyrrhetic acid cut down significantly. Four chemical composition in full formula group had higher contents.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Armeniacae semen can decrease the content of L-ephedrine, D-pseudephedrine. Glycyrrhiza uralensis can help decoctum amygdaloside and armeniacae semen can help decoctum glycyrrhizic acid.
