Determination of eugenol in Bawei Tanxiang Pills by Capillary Gas Chromatography / 中成药

AIM: To establish a capillary GC-FID programmed temperature method for determining eugenol in Bawei Tanxiang Pills(Lignum Santali Albi, Flos Caryophylii, etc.). METHODS: Chromatography was performed on a 25m?0.25mm(0.25?m film thickness), SE-54 fused-silica capillary column coupled with a FID-detector. The internal standard was cyclohexanone. RESULTS: A good linearity was obtained in the range of 0.25?g～8?g of Eugenol with a correlation coefficient of 0.9993. The average recovery was 96.5%, the RSD was 2.4%. CONCLUSION: The established method was provided to be a reliable quantitative method for quality control of Bawei Tanxiang Pills.
