ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To develop a method for simultaneous determination of harpagide,harpagoside,chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid and phillyrin in Xiaoer qingyan granules. METHODS:HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Zorbax SB-C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid solution (gradient elution) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 210 nm (0-13 min,harpagide),327 nm (13-25 min,chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid),277 nm(25-29 min,phillyrin),210 nm(29-40 min,harpagosid);the column temperature was 30℃,and sam-ple size was 10 μL. RESULTS:The linear ranges of harpagide,harpagosid,chlorogenic acid,caffeic acid and phillyrin were 8.400-168.0 ng(r=0.9996),11.30-226.0 ng(r=0.9998),128.8-257.6 ng(r=0.9993),8.110-162.2 ng(r=0.9996),29.69-593.8 ng(r=0.9994),respectively. LOQs of the 5 components were 33.39,451.2,515.2,324.5,1188 ng/mL;LODs were 8.348, 112.8,128.8,81.12,297.0 ng/mL,respectively;RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 2.0%. The recoveries were 96.39%-98.64%(RSD=0.83%,n=6),96.60%-98.89%(RSD=0.89%,n=6),96.28%-99.22%(RSD=1.25%,n=6),96.49%-99.54%(RSD=1.16%,n=6),96.26%-99.70%(RSD=1.30%,n=6),respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,accurate and suitable for simultaneous determination of 5 components in Xiaoer qingyan granules
