Abstract:
OBJECTIVE An HPLC method was developed and validated for determining hesperdin in Expectorant mixture.
METHODS Chromatographic separation was performed on an Agilent Eclipse XDB-C
18 column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) with a mobile phase of methanol-glacial acetic acid-distilled water(25∶5∶70). The flow rate was 1.0 mL·min
-1 and the detecting wavelength was 283 nm.
RESULTS The linear range of hesperdin was 1.05-34.56 μg·mL
-1. Linear equation was
Y=10.346
X+0.795 2(
r=0.999 6). The average recovery (
n=9) of hesperdin was 98.3% (RSD=1.7%).
CONCLUSION The method is simple, accurate and selective and sensitive to quantify hesperdin in Expectorant mixture.
