Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish an HPLC method for the determination of naringin and neohesperidin in Aurantii Fructus and its preparation Xuefu Zhuyu Capsules. METHODS The column was SunFire
TM C
18(250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water(20∶80) adjusted to pH 2.5 with phosphoric acid. The flow rate was 1.0 mL·min
-1 and the detection wavelength was at 283 nm. RESULTS The calibration curves were linear within the range of 0.166-2.074 μg(r=0.999 8) for naringin, 0.162-2.020 μg(r=0.999 5) for neohesperidin, respectively. The average recovery of them were 98.17% and 100.61%, respectively. CONCLUSION The method is simple, practicable, accurate and rapid. It can be applied to content determination of naringin and neohesperidin in Aurantii Fructus and Xuefu Zhuyu Capsules.
