Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish an RP-HPLC method for simultaneous determination of geniposide and baicalin in Huanglianshangqing tablets. METHODS The analytical column was Hibor C
18 column(4.6 mm×150 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile and 0.2% phosphoric acid with gradient elution. Geniposide and baicalin were detected at 240 nm and 278 nm, respectively. The column temperature was 30℃. RESULTS The calibration curves of geniposide and baicalin showed good linearity in the ranges of 0.16-0.8 μg(
r=0.999 7) and 0.24-1.2 μg (
r=0.999 8). The average recoveries were 95.7% and 96.1%. RSD were 2.63% and 1.37%. CONCLUSION The method is simple, accurate and reproducible for determining geniposide and baicalin in Huanglianshangqing tablets.
