ABSTRACT
AIM: To establish the quality standard for Jinqiaomai Tablets ( Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma). METHODS: Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma was identified by TLC. The contents of (-)-epicatechin and procyanidin B2 were determined simultaneously by HPLC,the Symmetry C18 column (5 ?m,3. 9 mm id ? 150 mm) was used. The water (adjust pH value to 3. 00 ? 0. 02 with phosphoric acid)-acetonitrile (92 ∶ 8) was used as a mobile phase,the detecting wavelength was at 280 nm. The column temperature was at 35 ℃. RESULTS: Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma could be identified. The calibration curve of (-)-epicatechin was linear in the range of 0. 113 6-2. 272 ?g with the correlation of 0. 999 968 (n = 8). The average recovery of (-)-epicatechin was 97. 12% ,RSD = 0. 92% (n = 6). The calibration curve of procyanidin B2 was linear in the range of 0. 166 4-1. 664 ?g with the correlation of 0. 999 702(n = 8). The average recovery of procyanidin B2 was 98. 26% ,RSD = 0. 61% (n = 6). CONCLUSION: The method is specific,reliable and accurate,so it can be used for the quality control of Jinqiaomai Tablets.
