The application discloses a method for constructing a characteristic map of a
traditional Chinese medicine and the characteristic map, wherein the method adopts an
HPLC method to determine the content of an effective component,
imperatorin, in Zhikang capsules, and constructs a
high performance liquid chromatography characteristic map of the Zhikang capsules; 10 characteristic peaks are determined as the characteristic map, which are respectively from dragon's blood, rhubarb and Bai Zhi; the components from the dragon's blood are dracorhodin B (peak 2) and
pterostilbene (peak 4); the components from the rhubarb are peak 1 (aloe-
emodin), peak 3, peak 6 (
emodin), peak 9 and peak 10; and the components from the Bai Zhi are
imperatorin (peak 5), peak 7 and peak 8; the method covers polyphenols,
anthraquinones and furanocoumarins and other main components, and constructs a quality
evaluation system of the Zhikang capsules; the method has good specificity, precision,
repeatability and solution stability, and can be used for standardizing the production of the Zhikang capsules and guaranteeing the uniformity and stability of the
internal quality of products to provide comprehensive
quality control.
