HPLC Fingerprint Study of Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae from Guangdong / 中药新药与临床药理

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish the method for fingerprint analysis of Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae(PCR) by HPLC, and to compare the quality of PCR from different places of Guangdong. Methods HPLC with Zorbax Esclipe XDB C18 column was used. The mobile phase was composed of methanol-2% acetic acid (gradient elution), the detection wavelength was at 283 nm, the column temperature was maintained at 25 ℃ , and the flow rate was 1.0 mL? min-1. Results Seven common peaks were obtained on HPLC fingerprint of PCR. There existed certain differences in fingerprints of PCR from the different samples, but the similarities of 25 batches of samples were higher. Conclusion The method is reliable and accurate, and provides a reference for the quality control of PCR.
