Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To assay the content and related substances of thymosin α
1. METHODS HPLC was exploited to determinate the content and related substances of thymosin a1 at 215 nm. The separation was performed on Vydac C18 column (250 mm×4.6mm,5 mm) with the mobile phase of 0.02 mol·L
-1 phosphate buffer (pH 7.00)-isopropanol(95∶5) under 25 ℃. RESULTS The linearity was obtained over the range of 0.01-0.83 mg·mL
-1(
r=0.999 8). The LOD was 10 ng. Related substances were 2.5%-2.6%. CONCLUTION The method is simple, convenient, accurate and can be employed to assay the content and related substances of thymosin α
1 for its quality control.
