Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To develop an HPLC method for the simultaneously determination of chlorogenic acid and baicalin in Yinhuang granules. METHODS HPLC was carried out, using Agilent Eclipse XDB-C18 (4. 6 mm ×150 mm, 5 μm) column set at 30 ℃, the acetonitrile-0.1% H3PO4 as mobile phase(using gradient) with flowing rate of 1.0 mL·min-1. The detection wavelength was set at 327 nm. RESULTS The method had good linear relationship within the range of 0.021-2.1 μg (r =0.999 8) for chlorogenic acid and 0.038-3.800 μg (r =0.999 6) for baicalin,respectively. The results of the average recovery were 99.70% (RSD=0.75%) and 99.06% (RSD=1.02%). CONCLUSION The method established was simple and accurate and can be used to simultaneously determine chlorogenic acid and baicalin in Yinhuang granules.
