Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish a UHPLC method for simultaneous determination of four active components (ginsenoside Rg
1, ginsenoside Re, ginsenoside Rb
1 and ginsenoside Rd) in imported
Panax quinquefolium L..
METHODS An Agilent Zorbax SB C
18 column (2.1 mm×100 mm, 1.8 μm) was used, with mobile phase of acetonitrile as mobile phase A and water as mobile phase B (gradient elution) at a flow rate of 0.5 mL·min
-1, column temperature was 30℃ and detector wavelength was 203 nm.
RESULTS The four components showed good separation and linearity within the tested range. The mean recoveries were in the range of 95.7%-100.3% (RSD 1.4%-1.8%).
CONCLUSION It provides a rapid and reliable UHPLC method which is suitable for the quality control of
Panax quinquefolium L..
