ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a method for simultaneous determination of chlorogenic acid, luteolin-7-O-β-D-glucoside,3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, linarin and pogostone in Fangshu Qingre mixture by RP-HPLC. Methods ZORBAX-SB-C18 column(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) was used as the chromatographic column.The mobile phase was 0.2% formic acid water solution(A) and acetonitrile solution (B)with a gradient elution mode. The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min.The detective wavelength was 327 nm. The column temperature was 30 ℃. Results There were good linear relationships in the determination of chlorogenic acid, luteolin-7-O-β-D-glucoside, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, linarin and pogostone (r≥0.999 6), with the average recovery rate of 102.03%(1.63%), 102.38%(1.51%), 102.39%(1.23%), 103.14%(1.87%) and 104.01%(2.33%). Conclusion The method was simple and stable with a good reproducibility, which could be used as a quality control method for active compotents in Fangshu Qingre mixture.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a method for content determination of total flavones and polysaccharides in Fangshu Qingre mixture by UV-Vis Spectrophotometry. Methods The contents of total flavones and polysaccharides in Fangshu Qingre mixture were determined by UV-Vis spectroscopy with rutin and anhydrous glucose as reference substance, and the wavelength was set at 508 nm and 487 nm. Results The contents were from 0.00 to 59.20 μg/ml for total flavones and from 10.92 to 109.20 μg/ml for total polysaccharides in Fangshu Qingre mixture. The recoveries of total flavones and total polysaccharides were 104.4% and 104.8% respectively. Conclusion The method of using ultraviolet spectroscopy was simple, reproducible, accurate and reliable, which could be preferably used as the method for content determination of total flavones and polysaccharides in Fangshu Qingre mixture.
