Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish an HPLC-ELSD method for the determination of astragaloside in compound shenqi soft capsule. METHODS The samples were determined by HPLC-ELSD on an Agilent Hypersil ODS column using acetonitrile-water(35∶65) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min
-1. The injection volume was 20 μL. The ELSD conditions were as follows: pressure of compressed air was 0.32 MPa, the flow rate of compressed air was 2.6 L·min
-1,drift temperature was 108 ℃. RESULTS The linear range of astragaloside was 0.402 4-4.024 0 µg (
r=0.999 8) and the average recovery rate was 100.02%(RSD=1.41%). CONCLUSION The method is accurate, specific and applicable for the determination of astragaloside in compound shenqi soft capsule.
