Determination of Chimonin and Forsythiaside in Kangbingdu Oral Liquid by RP-HPLC / 中药新药与临床药理

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a method for the determination of chimoni and forsythiaside in Kangbingdu Oral Liquid(KOL) and to develop a new quality standard for KOL. Methods A RP-HPLC method was adopted for the determination of chimonin and forsythiaside of KOL. The chromatographic conditions were as followsKromasil RP-C18(250 mm? 4.6 mm,5 ? m) column was used,a mixture of acetonitrile -0.1 % acetic acid(15 ∶ 85,v/v) served as mobile phase,the flow rate was 0.80 mL? min-1,and detective wavelengths of time process were 0→ 25 min258 nm,and 25→ 30 min277 nm. Theoretical plate number of chimoni was over 6000 and that of forsythiaside was over 5000. Results The chimonin showed a good linearity in the range of 48.8ng～ 1525 ng(r=0.999 4),and the linear range of forsythiaside was in the ranged of 56ng～ 1750 ng(r=0.999 5).The mean recovery of chimonin and forsythiaside was 97.65 % and 99.21 % respectively. The content of chimonin in the 10 batches of samples was in the range of 14.40～ 20.41 ? g? mL-1,and that of forsythiaside was in the range of 28.70～ 36.01 ? g? mL-1. Conclusion The developed method has been proven to be simple,stable and reproducible,and can be applied for quality control of the Kangbingdu Oral Liquid.
