Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish an HPLC method for the determination of gallic acid and quercitrin in
Euphorbia hirta L. METHODS Using ZORBAX SB-Aq(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm)column, at 30 ℃; methanol-acetonitrile-0.2% phosphoric acid solution was used as the mobile phase, with gradient elution. The flow rate was 1.0 mL·min
-1. The detection wavelength was changed by time. RESULTS The gallic acid and quercitrin had a good linearity relationship between 2.328-58.20 mg·mL
-1 and 6.804-170.1 mg·mL
-1, with
r=0.999 5 and 0.999 8. The average recovery rate were 100.26% and 96.29%, with RSD of 0.64% and 0.69%(
n=9). CONCLUSION The method is simple, rapid and accurate, suitable for the quality control of
Euphorbia hirta L.
