Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish a simultaneous determination method for paeoniflorin, salvianolic acid B and hydroxysafflor yellow A in Guanxinkang granules. METHODS The determination was performed on a Welchrom C
18 column(250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) with acetonitrile(A)-0.1% phosphoric acid(B) as the mobile phase in gradient elution mode at the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min
-1. The detection wavelength was 230 nm. RESULTS Paeoniflor presented a good linearity in the concentration range of 7.02-52.64 μg·mL
-1. The average rate of recovery was 99.3 % with RSD of 1.2%. Salvianolic acid B presented a good linearity in the concentration range of 23.19-173.90 μg·mL
-1. The average rate of recovery was 98.2% with RSD of 1.1%. Hydroxysafflor yellow A presented a good linearity in the concentration range of 4.47-33.50 μg·mL
-1. The average rate of recovery was 98.0% with RSD of 1.0%. CONCLUSION This method was simple, accurate and reproducible, it can be used as the basis for quality control of Guanxinkang granules.
