RESUMO
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.
