ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish an HPLC method to determine the contents of ephedrine hydrochloride, (R, S)-goitrin, lae-trile,chlorogenic acid,licorice glycosides and glycyrrhizic acid in Xiao'er Kechuanling granule.Methods:The chromatography condi-tions were as follows:an Agilent Eclipse XDB-C18(250 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm) column was used,and acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid was applied as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 1.0 ml·min-1with gradient elution. The wavelength was 207 nm for ephed-rine hydrochloride and laetrile,237 nm for glycyrrhizic acid,licorice glycosides and chlorogenic acid and 245 nm for (R,S)-goitrin. Results:The linear range of ephedrine hydrochloride was 2.423-96.920 μg·ml-1(r =0.999 2), and the average recovery was 100.1% (RSD=0.30%,n=6). The linear range of (R, S) -goitrin was 1.920-76.798 μg·ml-1(r=0.999 9), and the average recovery was 99.86% (RSD=1.14%,n=6). The linear range of chlorogenic acid was 2.396-92.891 μg·ml-1(r=0.999 9),and the average recovery was 98.57% (RSD =0. 75%,n =6). The linear range of amygdalin was 1.982-79.279 μg·ml-1(r =0.999 8),and the average recovery was 99.67% (RSD=0.59%,n=6). The linear range of glycyrrhizin was 2.136-85.440 μg· ml-1(r=0.999 9),and the average recovery was 98.57% (RSD=0.69%,n=6). The linear range of glycyrrhizic acid was 2.432-97.260μg·ml-1(r=0.999 9),and the average recovery was 98.57% (RSD=0.11%,n=6). Conclusion: The method is accu-rate and reliable,which can be used for the quality control of Xiao'er Kechuanling granule.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the standard for quality control ofQingyan Granule. Methods The chief components of the preparation, Sophora Tonkinensis radix et rhizoma, Adenophorae radix, Lonicera japonica caulis, and Ophiopogonis radix were identified by TLC qualitatively. The contents of licorice glycosides and glycyrrhizic acid were determined by HPLC. The separation was performed on Thermo Syncronis C18 column (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5μm) with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile with 0.05% phosphoric acid solution (A)-0.05% phosphoric acid solution (B), and gradient elution (0-8 min, 19%A;8-35 min, 19%→50%A). Detection wavelength was 237 nm, and flow rate was 1 mL/min.Results The spots in TLC were clear. There were spots with same color on the corresponding location of reference substance and reference herbal, negative control without interference. The linear range for licorice glycosides was 0.05-0.5μg (r=0.999 9). The average recovery was 99.97%, RSD=1.74% (n=9). The linear range for glycyrrhizic acid was 0.1-2μg (r=0.999 9). The average recovery was 99.74%, RSD=1.28% (n=9). Conclusion The method is simple, accurate, with high reproducibility, which can be used for quality control ofQingyan Granule.
