Objective: To provide valuable reference for comprehensive qualitative estimation and reasonable utilization of material medica Rhizoma Paridis.
Methods: Rhizoma Paridis collected from different region of southwest Sichuan & northwest Yunnan. The texture and the content of parissaponin I, II, VI, VII were observed a nd measured b y HPLC.
Result: The difference of target compounds' content among samples from different producing area is significant; the eligibility rate of material medica is only 25%; the texture of material medica has certain relativity with content of parissaponin.
