Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish an HPLC method for the determination of the content of trpibutone and related substances. METHODS The HPLC system consisted of Thermo C
18 column(250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) was used, methanol-buffer(0.01 mol·L
-1 ammonium acetate, adjusted pH to 3.0 by phosphoric acid) (40∶60) was adopted as mobile phase with UV detection at 271 nm. The flow rate was 1.0 mL
-1, column temperature was 35 ℃, injection volume was 10 μL. RESULTS The linear range was 0.100 5-1.005 2 mg·mL
-1. The mean recovery was 100.5%(RSD=0.5%). Trepibutone and related substances were separated well. The limit of quantification was 0.000 1 ng, the limit of detection was 0.000 03 ng. The sample solution was stable within 8 h(RSD=0, 6%). CONCLUSION This method is simple, sensitive and accurate.
