Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish an HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, prim-
O-glucosylcimifugin, baicalin, wogonoside, baicalein, wogonin and osthole in Chuanxiong Qingnao granules.
METHODS The column was Agilent Poroshell 120 EC-C
18(150 mm×4.6 mm, 2.7 μm) with mobile phase of methanol-0.05% phosphoric acid(gradient elution), the detection wavelength was 330 nm(for chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, osthole), 280 nm(for baicali, wogonoside, baicalein, wogonin) and 254 nm(for prim-
O-glucosylcimifugin).
RESULTS The linear range was 4.97-37.29 μg·mL
-1 for chlorogenic acid, 5.29-39.68 μg·mL
-1 for ferulic acid, 2.54-19.08 μg·mL
-1 for prim-
O-glucosylcimifugin, 35.46-265.94 μg·mL
-1 for baicalin, 25.65-192.37 μg·mL
-1 for wogonoside, 2.40-18.02 μg·mL
-1 for baicalein, 1.66-12.47 μg·mL
-1 for wogonin, 2.64-19.80 μg·mL
-1 for osthole, respectively; RSDs of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were < 2.0%; The average recovery in sample(
n=6) was > 90%.
CONCLUSION The method is accurate, reliable, simple and fast, and can be used for simultaneous determination of multiple components in Chuanxiong Qingnao granules.
