ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the contents of berberine,palmatine,jatrorrhizine,baicalin and geniposide between traditional decoction and dispensing granule decoction of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction.Methods A HPLC method was carried out on Diamonsil C18 column(250 ? 4.6 mm,5 ?m).The mixture of H2O(A),CH3OH(B)and 0.05 % H3PO4 solution(C)was used as the mobile phase for gradient elution.The column temperature was set up at 35 ℃ and the flow rate was l mL/min.The detection wavelength was 345nm for berberine,palmtine and jatrorrhizine,280 nm for baicalin,and 238 nm for geniposide.Results This method can be used to determine 5 components in Huanglian Jiedu Decoction at the same time and the method was rapid,sensitive and accurate.Conclusion The HPLC chromatograms of traditional sliced decoction of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction are similar to the dispensing granule decoction.The contents of 5 main components in dispensing granule decoction are higher than those in traditional sliced decoction.
