Dissolve oleanolic CRS to produce a solution containing 1mg per ml used as the reference solution. Carry out the method for thin layer chromatography (Appendix Vl B), using silica gel G containing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as the coating substance and chloroform-methanol-isopropanol (16:0.5:0.25 as the mobile phase. Apply separately to the plate 2 - 4µl each of the above three solutions. After developing and removal of the plate, dry it in the air, spray with a mixture of vanillin ethanol solution (1:100) and a water solution of perchloric acid (3:100) (mix in equal portions before use), dry it in the air until the colored spots appear clearly. A spot in the chromatogram obtained from the test solution corresponds in colour and position to the spot in the chromatogram obtained from the reference solution and the reference drug solution.
Processing : Eliminate remain roots and foreign matter, wash clean, soften briefly, cut into sections and dry in the sun.
Action : To promote the flow of blood and to relieve blood stasis, to stop malarial attacks, to counteract toxicity, and to cause diuresis.
