The invention discloses a method for simultaneous determination of six active components consisting of chrysophanol, emodin, liquiritin, forsythin, baicalin and berberine hydrochloride in a Niuhuang Ninggong tablet through HPLC. Chromatographic conditions employed in the invention are as follows: a chromatographic column is TC-C18 (4.6 mm * 250 mm, 5 [mu]m); detection wavelength is 280 nm; a mobile phase is methanol-0.05% phosphoric acid; gradient elution comprises three parts, i.e., elution with methanol with a concentration varying in a range of 10 to 80% in the time period from 0 min to 35 min, then elution with methanol with a concentration of 80% in the time period from 35 to 50 min, and finally elution with methanol with a concentration varying in a range of 80 to 10% in the time period from 50 to 60 min; flow velocity is 1.0 mL / min; column temperature is 25 DEG C; and sample size is 10 [mu]L. Under the above-mentioned chromatographic conditions, chromatographic peaks are perfectly separated, and concentrations and peak areas of chrysophanol, emodin, liquiritin, forsythin, baicalin and berberine hydrochloride show good linear relation. The method is simple, rapid and accurate, has good repeatability and can provide quality bases for comprehensive evaluation and control of the Niuhuang Ninggong tablet.
