Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish an HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of ferulic acid, rutin, rhein, emodin and chrysophanol in Huangshiganmao tablets. METHODS A Welch Topsil-C
18(4.6 mm×250 mm, 4 μm)column was used with the mobile phase of methanol-0.1% phosphate solution(78∶22) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min
-1, the column temperature of 30 ℃ and the detection wavelength was 280 nm. RESULTS The calibration curves of ferulic acid, rutin, rhein, emodin and chrysophanol were linear over the ranges of 0.020 82-0.416 3 μg·mL
-1(r=0.999 7), 0.011 32-0.278 3 μg·mL
-1(r=0.999 3), 0.017 22-0.344 3 μg·mL
-1(r=0.999 5), 0.015 79-0.315 8 μg·mL
-1(r=0.999 6) and 0.051 34-1.027 μg·mL
-1(r=0.999 9) respectively, and the average recoveries were 97.4% (RSD=1.1%), 95.0% (RSD=0.88%), 97.5% (RSD=1.3%), 97.4% (RSD=1.4%) and 96.3%(RSD=0.87%) respectively. CONCLUSION This method was simple, accurate and can be used for quantitative analysis method of Huangshiganmao tablets.
