Emodin was selected as the reference standard, and the response factor for each analyte with respect to emodin were calculated. Robustness were also tested including different columns, equipments, temperatures, detection wavelengths, and other chromatographic conditions which might influence stability of response factors.Results: The method was validated in terms of linearity(r^2> 0.9995), LOQs(0.820–3.05 ng/m L), LODs(0.180–0.920 ng/m L), precision,accuracy(95.8–103.6%, RSD < 2.80%) and stability. A total of 40 batches of PMR were analyzed and the results were found to have no statistically significant differences compared with those obtained using the external standard method.Conclusion: This work provided a single standard to determine multi-components method for quantitation of four anthraquinones in PMR,which could be applied in the quality control of this herbal drug.展开更多
