ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To determine the contents of 11 components in Xueli zhike syrup, establish its chemometric method and provide reference for its quality control. METHODS HPLC method was established to simultaneously determine the contents of amygdalin, deapi-platycoside E, platycoside E, platycodin D3, euscaphic acid, tormentic acid, maslinic acid, corosolic acid, praeruptorin A, praeruptorin B and praeruptorin E in 12 batches of Xueli zhike syrup. The quality evaluation of 12 batches of samples was performed by chemometrics. RESULTS The 11 components had good linear relationships within their respective ranges (r≥0.999 1); RSDs of precision, reproducibility and stability (24 h) tests were all lower than 2.00%. The average recovery rates ranged 96.90%-100.01% (RSDs were all lower than 2.00%). Cluster analysis showed that 12 batches of samples were clustered into 3 groups. Principal component analysis showed that the first two principal components could represent 88.53% information of 11 components in Xueli zhike syrup. Partial least squares-discrimination analysis showed that euscaphic acid, amygdalin and praeruptorin A were the main potential markers affecting the quality of Xueli zhike syrup. CONCLUSIONS The established method can be used to control the quality of Xueli zhike syrup.

ABSTRACT
This paper mainly summarized the chemical constituents, pharmacological activities, quality control and utilization of different medicinal parts of Rosa laevigata Michx based on systematic literature research. The various pharmacological effects and rich research on the fruits of Rosa laevigata Michx made it much more attractive for development. However, the research on the roots is comparatively weak, so further studies are needed to explore the material basis and strengthen the quality control of Rosa laevigata Michx.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To develop a quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker (QAMS) method for the simultaneous determination of six triterpene acid (euscaphic acid, tormentic acid, maslinic acid, corosolic acid, oleanolic acid, and ursolic acid) contents in the effective fraction of Eriobotryae Folium. Methods: Ursolic acid was used as the internal reference substance, and the relative correlation factors (RCF) of euscaphic acid, tormentic acid, maslinic acid, corosolic acid, and oleanolic acid were determined by HPLC-ELSD with good reproducibility. The contents of the five components were calculated according to the RCF, respectively. The contents of these six triterpene acids in 15 batches of effective fraction were determined by the external standard method. The rationality, feasibility, and repeatability of the QAMS method were verified by comparing the results obtained from the two different methods. Results: For the six triterpene acids, there was no significant difference between the quantitative results with the two different methods in the 15 batches. Conclusion: The method established in this research is accurate and feasible that it just needs to assay single-marker (ursolic acid) for the determination of six triterpene acids in the effective fraction of Eriobotryae Folium simultaneously. Therefore, this method could provide a new reference for the quality assess of multi components in Chinese materia medica.
