Determination of Osthol and Berberine in Kangfuyan Effervescent Suppository by RP-HPLC / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To establishes an HPLC method for determination of the contents of Osthol and Berberine in Kangfuyan effervescent suppository. METHODS: HPLC was carried out on a column of Diamonsil (250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.2% phosphate acid (52∶48,Lauryl sulfonic acid sodium 0.1 g was contained in every 100 mL) with flow rate at 1 mL?min-1.The detection wavelength was set at 322 nm and the column temperature was set at room temperature. RESULTS: The linear range was 0.019 8～0.396 0 ?g(r=0.999 97) for Osthole versus 0.056 65～1.133 00 ?g(r=0.999 99) for Berberine. The average recoveries of Osthol and Berberine were 101.06% (RSD=1.10%) and 101.88%(RSD=0.98%), respectively. CONCLUSION: This method is simple, accurate and reproducible, and applicable for the quality control of Kangfuyan effervescent suppository.
