Quantitative analysis of anthraquinones in Chinese crude drug Juenmingzi, which is the seed of Cassia obtusifolia L. or C. torn L. (Leguminosae), and also in similar crude drugs, which are the seeds of C. torosa CAV., C. occidentalis L. and C. nomame HONDA, was carried out, and the following results were obtained. 1) In practising quantitative analysis of anthraquinones in Juenmingzi, the drug sample to be analysed should be such as obtained at least one year after the harvest of the seeds, and the powdered drug should be used within three months after pulverization. This also applies to the analysis of other crude drugs similar to Juenmingzi. 2) The amounts of total anthraquinones in the seeds of C. obtusifolia L., C. tora L., C. torasa CAV. and C. occidentalis L. were about the same (i.e., 0.85-1.25%), but the amount thereof in C. nomame HONDA was considerably less than those in others (about 0.45%). 3) Anthraquinones were detected in all parts (root, stem, leaf, legume and seed) of the original plants of Cassia seeds tested. However, the quantity was in the following order: (root>stem>leaf).
