Objective: To determinate the catalpol contents in dried rehmannia root and Taohong Siwu Decoction containing rehmannia root with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Methods: Catalpol was separated on a YWG-C18 column using water-acetonitrile (99.4∶0.6) as mobile phase and detective wavelength at 210 nm. Results: The linear curve of tested catalpol concentration within the range of 0.0536-5.3600 μg/μl was ideal (n=5, r=0.9997). The average recovery rate of the dried rehmannia root and Taohong Siwu decoction was 98.7% (RSD=0.48%) and 98.2% (RSD=1.29%) respectively. Conclusion: HPLC method is accurate and valuable for the quality control of Radix Rehmanniae and Taohong Siwu Decoction.

Key words: Radix Rehmanniae, Taohong Siwu Decoction, catalpol, high performance liquid chromatography
