Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish an HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of aloe-emoidin, baicalin, obacunone and crocinⅠ in Sijisanhuang tablets. METHODS A Welch Topsil-C
18 column(4.6 mm×250 mm, 4 μm) was used with the mobile phase of methanol-0.2% phosphate solution at a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min
-1, the column temperature was 30 ℃ and the detection wavelength was 254 nm for aloe-emoidin, baicalin, obacunone and 440 nm for crocin Ⅰ. RESULTS The calibration curves of aloe-emoidin, baicalin, obacunone and crocin Ⅰ were linear over the ranges of 0.079 10-1.582 μg·mL
-1(r=0.999 5), 0.167 5-3.350 μg·mL
-1(r=0.999 8), 0.097 92-1.958 μg·mL
-1(r=0.999 7), 0.033 57-0.671 5 μg·mL
-1(r=0.999 4), respectively, and the average recoveries were 95.9%(RSD=0.7%), 97.5%(RSD=0.8), 96.4%(RSD=1.0%), 95.5%(RSD=1.3%), respectively. CONCLUSION The method is simple, accurate, specific and repeatable, which can be used for quantitative analysis of aloe-emoidin, baicalin, obacunone and crocinⅠin Sijisanhuang tablets.
