Abstract:In this report, an accurate niethod for quantitatively analysing the 6. 7-dimethyleseculetin and capillarisine in Artemisia capillaris and the prescriptions containing the crude drug has been established by three dimension gradientHPLC ,by which the trace amount of these compounds in the samples can te determined. 6, 7-Dimethylesculetin is cal-culated by the regression equation Y=84.15X - 0. 023 (r= 1. 000) ,and capillarisine is calculated by Y = 62. 17X -0. 149 (r=1. 000). In the formula,Y represents concentration of compounds and X represents area of the peak.
