Simultaneous Determination of Four Ingredients in Xielining Tablets by HPLC / 医药导报

ABSTRACT

Objective To develop a HPLC method for determination of aesculin, aesculetin,baicalin and ellagic acid in Xielining tablets. Methods The hypersil C18 column was used with the flow rate of 1. 1 mL·min-1 . The mobile phase A consisted of methanol-acetonitrile(4∶1),the mobile phase B consisted of 0. 1% phosphoric acid solution; The detection wave-lengths were λ1 =334 nm(aesculin and aesculetin),λ2 = 280 nm(baicalin),and λ3 = 254 nm(ellagic acid). Results There was a good linear relationship between the peak area values and concentrations of aesculin,aesculetin,baicalin and ellagic acid. The quantitation range of aesculin,aesculetin,baicalin and ellagic acid was 0. 058 6 -1. 172 0 μg( r = 0. 999 2), 0. 015 4 -0. 308 0 μg(r=0. 999 8),0. 447 2-8. 944 0 μg(r=0. 999 6),and 0. 072 6-1. 452 0 μg(r=0. 999 5), respectively. The aver-age recovery was 97. 24% (RSD=0. 78% ),97. 76% (RSD=1. 11% ),98. 43% (RSD=0. 93% ) and 96. 89% (RSD=0. 62% ), respectively. Conclusion The method is convenient,accurate,sensitive,reproducible and may be used in the determination of aesculin, aesculetin,baicalin and ellagic acid in Xielining tablets.
