ABSTRACT
AIM To establish an HPLC-ELSD method for the simultaneous content determination of euscaphic acid,tormentic acid,crategolic acid,corosolic acid,platycodin E,platycodin D3 and platycodin D in Chuanbei Luohan Zhike Granules (Fritillariae cirrhosae Bulbus,Eriobotryae Folium,Platycodonis Radix,etc.).METHODS The analysis of 60％ methanol extract of this drug was performed on a 30 ℃ thermostatic Ultimate XB C18 column (4.6 mm ×250 mm,5 μm),with the mobile phase comprising of acetonitrile-0.5％ ammonium acetate flowing at 0.6 mL/min in a gradient elution manner.RESULTS Seven constituents showed good linear relationships within their own ranges (r ＞ 0.999 0),whose average recoveries were 96.99％-99.78％ with the RSDs of 0.72％-1.72％.CONCLUSION This accurate,simple,specific and reproducible method can be used for the quality control of Chuanbei Luohan Zhike Granules.
