Object To establish a HPLC method for determination of ethyl p hydroxybenzoate in Dragon's Blood. Methods Using C 18 reverse phase column and acetonitrile 1% acetic acid (31∶69) as mobile phase, detecting at 257 nm and quantitating with external standard method. Results The standard curves of ethyl p hydroxybenzoate showed good linearity over the range of 0.206-2.884 ng, r=0.999 8. The average recovery was 96.02% and RSD was 1.87%. Conclusion The method is quick and simple, and it is accurate and reliable for the determination of ethyl p hydroxybenzoate in Dragon's Blood.
