[Research on quality specification of Herba Justiciae].
OBJECTIVE
To provide scientific basis for the utilization and development of Herba Justiciae by setting up the quality control specification of Herba Justiciae.


METHODS
Moisture and ash were determined by aquametry and method of ash determination. And the bioactive constituents were analyzed by HPLC.


RESULTS
The contents of total ash, acid-insoluble ash, and moisture of 28 samples from different origins were determined. The quantitative analysis of chinensinaphthol methyl ether by HPLC were preformed, respectively.


CONCLUSIONS
The established method can be used for the quality control of Herba Justiciae.
