Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To estahlish an HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of tanshinol, protocatechualdehyde, salvianolic acid B, ferulic acid and puerarin in Tongmai particle by HPLC.
METHODS The Welch Ultimate XD-C
18 colunm(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) was used. The mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in gradient mode. The flow rate was 1.0 mL·min
-1 with UV detection wavelength at 282 nm and 305 nm. The column temperature was maintained at 35℃.
RESULTS The linear ranges of tanshinol, salvianolic acid B, protocatechualdehyde, puerarin and ferulic acid were in the range of 3.117-62.33 μg·mL
-1(
r=0.998 7), 4.044-80.88 μg·mL
-1(
r=0.998 5), 1.280-25.60 μg·mL
-1 (
r=0.997 9), 7.964-159.3 μg·mL
-1(
r=0.992 8), 1.980-39.60 μg·mL
-1(
r=0.999 1) with average recoveries of 101.6%(RSD=1.62%), 99.7%(RSD=1.76%), 97.4%(RSD=1.19%), 99.9%(RSD=1.52%), 102.2%(RSD=1.56%), respectively.
CONCLUSION This method is simple, fast and accurate, which is suitable for quality control of Tongmai particles.
