Résumé
AIM:To develop a method for simultaneously determining tetrandrine,fangchinoline and berberine hydrochloride in Fengtongan Capsule(Radix Stephaniae tetrandrae,Medulla Tetrapanacis,Fructus Chaenomelis,Cortex Phellodendri Chinensis,etc).METHODS:RP-HPLC was used with Phenomenex Gemini C_ 18 column.The mobile phase was a mixture of methanol-acetonitrile-phosphate buffer solution(0.01 mol/L potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.01 mol/L sodium heptanesulfonate were mixed equally,which contained 0.2% triethylamine,then was adjusted to pH 3.0 by phosphoric acid)(25∶20∶55).The detection wavelength was at 230 nm.RESULTS:There was a good linear relationship in tetrandrine content of 0.051 52-0.824 3 ?g(r= 0.999 9),fangchinoline content of 0.035 20-0.563 2 ?g(r= 0.999 9),and berberine hydrochloride content of 0.031 36-0.501 8 ?g(r= 0.999 7).The average recovery of tetrandrine was 97.23%(RSD=1.3%,n=9),99.56%(RSD= 1.6%,n=9)for fangchinoline and 98.22%(RSD=1.5%,n=9)for berberine hydrochloride.CONCLUSION:The method is simple,selective and reproducible.It can be applied to the quality control of Fengtongan Capsule.
