Content Determination of Hyodeoxycholic Acid in Artificial Calculus Bovis by Pre-Column Derivatization HPLC-UV Method / 中国中医药信息杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a pre-column derivation HPLC-UV method for the content determination of hyodeoxycholic acid in artificial calculus bovis. Methods The hyodeoxycholic acid was derived by 2-bromo-2’-acetonaphthoneat using triethylamine as the catalyst in 60 ℃ water bath. After that, a HPLC-UV method was established to determine the content of hyodeoxycholic acid in artificial calculus bovis. Results When the derivatising time at 60 ℃ water bath was 50 min, the radio of the molar amount of derived reagents and hyodeoxycholic was over 201 and the radio of catalyst and hyodeoxycholic was over 151; the reaction was completed. The calibration curve was linear within the range of 0.1–2 μg for hyodeoxycholic acid (r=0.999 7), and the average recovery was 97.85% (RSD=1.6%). In this sample, the content of hyodeoxycholic is 4.12%. Conclusion The method is with high sensitivity, highly reproducible, reliable and accurate for the content determination of hyodeoxycholic acid in artificial calculus bovis.
