ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a HPLC method for simultaneously determining the content of dexamethasone ace-tate ,camphor and phenol in compound cream .Methods The separation was performed on a SHIADZU-GL Inertsil? ODS-3 RP C18 analytical column with the mobile phase consisting of methanol-water (60:40) .The flow rate was 1 .0 ml/min .The detection wave length was 285 nm and the column temperature was 40 ℃ .Results Dexamethasone acetate ,camphor and phe-nol showed good linearity (r> 0 .9995 , n= 7) within the concentration range of 4 .024-40 .24 ,101 .7-2033 and 10 .38-425 .2 μg/ml ,respectively . The average recovery of dexamethasone acetate ,camphor and phenol was 101 .2％ (RSD was 0.56％ ) ,99 .89％ (RSD was 0 .72％ ) ,100 .2％ (RSD was 0 .97％ ) ,respectively .Moreover ,the RSDs were less than 1 .5％ in the repeated tests .Conclusion The method was simple ,quick and accurate .It is suitable for the quality control of dexametha-sone acetate camphor and phenol cream .
