Determination of Bacterial Endotoxin in Maodongqing Compound Injection by Kine tic Turbidimetric Assay / 中药新药与临床药理

ABSTRACT

Objective To develop an assay for determining bacterial endotoxin(BE T) content in Maodongqing Compound Injection (MCI). Methods The dilution radio o f Maodongqing Compound Injection was optimized and BET content was determined by turbidimetric kinetic method. Results Dilution ratio of Maodongqing Compound In jection at 1 ∶80 did not interfere with the Limulus test. The average recovery of BET was between 50 %and 200 %. Conclusion The method is proved to be accura te,sensitive and suitable for the determination of BET content in Maodongqing C ompound Injection.
