Simultaneous Determination of 2 Specific Phenolic Acid in Isatidis Folium by HPLC

OBJECTIVE To establish a method for the simultaneous determination of 2 specific phenolic acids glycosides 1,2,2'-tri-O-E-sinapoyl-β-gentiobiose and 1,2,6'-tri-O-E-sinapoylgentiobiose in Isatidis Folium. METHODS The HPLC analysis was carried on Elite C₁₈ column(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution(gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min^-1. The detection wavelength was 328 nm, and the column temperature was set at 30 ℃. RESULTS 1,2,2'-tri-O-E-sinapoyl-β-gentiobiose and 1,2,6'-tri-O-E-sinapoylgentiobiose were showed good linear relationships within the ranges of 2.092-104.6 μg·mL^-1(R²=0.999 6) and 2.996-149.8 μg·mL^-1(R²=0.999 5). The average recovery (n=6) were 99.05% and 99.60%, RSDs were 0.34% and 0.65%, respectively. CONCLUSION The established method is simple, reliable and specific, and suitable for simultaneous determination of two components of phenolic acids glycosides in Isatidis Folium.
