Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To determine the content of quercitrin in Hypericum japonicum Thunb. By HPLC. METHODS An Agilent C18 column(250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) was used. The mobile was acetonitrile-0.05 mol·L-1 potassium dihydrogen phosphate(19∶81), and detected at 256 nm with flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1. RESULTS A good linearity was observed for quercitrin in the range of 0.120 4-2.408 μg. The average recovery of quercitrin was 96.0% with RSD of 1.3%(n=6). CONCLUSION The method is convenient, stable, reliable and special for the dermination of quercitrin in Hypericum japonicum Thunb.
