ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To develop an HPLC method for determination of clemastanin B which has anti-viral activity in Radix Isatidis and compare the contents of clemastanin B in the drugs from different origins.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The samples were separated on an ZORBAX SB-C18 (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) column with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-water (11:89). Flow rate was 1.0 mL x min(-1). The detection wavelength was set at 225 nm. Column temperature was 30 degrees C.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The linear range of clemastanin B was 0.0615-1.8441 microg (r = 0.9995), the average recovery was 97.74%, RSD was 1.4% (n=9). The contents of clemastanin B were in the range of 0.269-0.900 mg x g(-1) in Radix Isatidis from different origins.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The method for quantitation of clemastanin B in Radix Isatidis was accurate and reliable, which can be used to evaluate the quality of Radix Isatidis.</p>

AIM: To determine epigoitrin and 2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinedione in Radix Isatidis and its preparation by HPLC-DAD. METHODS: HPLC was carried out with an Agilent 1200,equipped with ZORBAX SB-C_(18) column(4.6 mm?250 mm,5 ?m).The mobile phase of acetonitrile:(0.1% phosphoric acid+0.03% triethylamine)aqueous solution=12∶88.The flow rate was 0.7 mL/min.The detection wavelength was set at 224 nm.The column temperature was at 30 ℃. RESULTS: The linear ranges of epigoitrin was 0.040 9 ?g-1.103 8 ?g;2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinedione was 0.010 6 ?g-0.169 6 ?g,The recoveries of epigoitrin and 2,4(1H,3H)-(quinazolinedione) were 98.44%(n=9),with RSD of 1.43% and 98.67%,with RSD of 1.65%,respectively. CONCLUSION: The method is simple,sensitive and reliable.It can be used for quantitative determination of Radix Isatidis and its preparation.
