RESUMEN
OBJETCTIVE:To establish a method for the content determination of ethacridine lactate in Compound ethacridine ointment. METHODS:HPLC was performed on the column of Agilent ZORBAX SB-C18 with mobile phase of 0.1% Octanesulfon-ic acid sodium solution-acetonitrile(70∶30,V/V)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,the detection wavelength was 270 nm,the column temperature was 30℃,and the injection volume was 10 μl. RESULTS:The linear range of ethacridine lactate was 10.002-50.010μg/ml(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were less than 1%;recovery was 98.96%-100.36%(RSD=0.49%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,accurate and reproducible,and can be used for content determina-tion of ethacridine lactate in Compound ethacridine ointment.
