Determination of taurocholic acid in Shedanchuanbei Oral Liquid and snake bile by SPE-HPLC / 中成药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To establish the method for determination of taurocholic acid in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Shedanchuanbei Oral Liquid and snake bile. Methods: The sample was prepared as mixed solution containing methanol and KH 2PO 4. The mixed solution was injected into Sep Pak C 18 cartridge for the purpose of sample purity. In this processing, the substances which having strong retain action and could harm analytic column were hold in the Sep Pak C 18 cartridge. The eluting solution that the Sep Pak C 18 cartridge had be over loading for taurocholic acid was used as the test solution. The test solution was measured by RP HPLC. The chromatographic conditions were as followed Supelcosil LC 8 column(150mm?4.6nm,5?m) as analytic column, detect wavelength at 203nm, and MeOH 0.4%KH 2PO 4 mixed solution(56∶44, V/V ) as mobile phase. The inject volume was 50?L. Results: The linear response range of sodium taurocholate was from 0.0253mg?mL -1 to 0.253mg?mL -1 , and the correlation coefficient was 0.9999. The average recovery rate was 101.3%, RSD was 0.40%( n =6). Conclusion: This method was simple, efficient and suitable to the quality control for Shedanchuanbei Oral Liquid and snake bile.
