Abstract:
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the research is to establish the quality standard of conjugated estrogens (CE) vaginal soft capsule. METHODS The HPLC method was conducted for the determination of the content of CE vaginal soft capsule. The disintegration of CE vaginal soft capsule was detected and the indicators were compared between CE vaginal soft capsule and the reference preparation. RESULTS There was good linearity of sodium estrone sulfate and sodium equilin sulfate in the range of 2.02-10.09 μg and 4.03-20.16 μg (r=0.999 9), the recovery of three kinds content were 100.0%, 101.3%, 99.4% and 99.0%, 99.4%, 101.8%. CE vaginal soft capsules were examined,there was no difference between these indicators and those of the reference preparation. CONCLUSION The method is specific, reliable and accurate. It can be used for the quality control of CE vaginal soft capsule effectively.
