RESUMO
Objective:To develop a method to determine benzalkonium chloride in compound aspartate, vitamin B6 and dipotassi-umglycyrrhetateeyedrops.Methods:TheseparationwasperformedonanAgilentZorbaxC18(150mm×4.6mm,5μm)column. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-5 mmol·L-1 ammonium acetate ( in which 1% triethylamine was added, then the pH value was adjusted to 5. 0 ± 0. 5 by acetic acid) 65∶35(v/v). The flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1 and the detection wavelength was 214nm. Re-sults:Benzalkonium chloride had a good linearity within the range of 50. 00-150. 00μg·ml-1(r=0. 998 0), and the average recovery was 99. 1%(RSD=0. 6%). Conclusion:The method is simple, rapid and sensitive with good repeatability and recovery. It can be used to determine benzalkoinum chloride in compound aspartate, vitamin B6 and dipotassium glycyrrhetate eye drops.
