Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To estabish an HPLC method under double UV wavelengths for determination of cynanchogenin and caudatin in Cynanchum otophyllum Scheid. METHODS ZORBAX SB-C18 column (4.6 mm×150 mm, 5 μm) was used and the temperature of column was 40 ℃. The mobile phase consisted of methanol-acetonitrile with gradient elution. The flow rate was 1.0 mL·min
-1. The detection wavelength was set at 220 and 260 nm. RESULTS The cynanchogenin and caudatin had a good linearity relationship in 2 μg·mL
-1, with r=1. The average recoveries were 100.1% and 97.9% with RSD of 1.34% and 1.37%(n=6). CONCLUSION The method is simple, rapid, accurate and provides the reference for the quality identification of Cynanchum otophyllum Scheid and its preparation.
