Abstract:This paper reports a method for determining tetramethyl pyrazine in pilules, injections and extracts of Ligusticum chuanxiong by high performance liquid chromatography. The results showed the recovery rate to he higher than 97% and the coefficient of variation (CV) to he 1.39% (with in day) and 1.51% (day to day). The lowest detection amount was 0.005μg. The method was easy, fast and accurate.
