Objective:To establish a qualitative and quantitative evaluation method for the medicinal materials of hollyhock.Methods:The qualitative identification method of hollyhock flower was established by microscopy and thin layer chromatography,The 2020 edition of the"Chinese Pharmacopoeia"method for the determination of moisture,total ash,acid-insoluble ash,and extract content,and the quantitative analysis method of kaempferol in hollyhock flower was established by HPLC.Results:The established TLC had clear spots and good repeatability,which could characteristically realize the qualitative identification of 7 batches of hollyhock.Measured the moisture,total ash,acid-insoluble ash,and extract content of 7 batches of samples.The standard curve for the determination of kaempferol in hollyhock is Y=0.0471X-0.0288,the linear range is 10.81ng~135.13 ng,the correlation coefficient is 0.9999,the precision RSD=0.87%,the average sample recovery rate is 102.03%,RSD=1.82%.The content of kaempferol in 7 batches of hollyhock flowers was 0.12%~0.49%.Conclusion:The established microscopic method and thin-layer chromatography can realize the qualitative identification of hollyhock medicinal materials.High performance liquid chromatography is simple,feasible,and can be used for the content determination of kaempferol in hollyhock.
