An HPLC method was established for the determination of six main components in Erlong pills.A Dikma Platisil ODS column was used,with the mobile phase of acetonitrile:0.1% phosphoric acid by gradient elution.The detection wavelength was switched from 240 nm for genipin 1-gentiobioside,geniposide and calceolarioside B to 274 nm for gentiopicrin,baicalin and ammonium glycyrrhizinate.The results showed that all the six components were well separated,and the linear relationships were good in their corresponding ranges.Their average recoveries were 97.5 %-104.6%,with RSDs of 1.15 %-1.83 %.
