Simultaneous Determination of Campanulin, Paeoniflorin and Hydroxysafflor Yellow A in Buyang Huanwu Decoction by HPLC / 中药新药与临床药理

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of campanulin, paeoniflorin and hydrox-ysafflor yellow A in Buyang Huanwu Decoction. Methods A Kromasil C18(4. 6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm) column was adopted. The mobile phase consisited of methanol and acetonitrile(26 2) (A), and 0. 7 % phosphoric acid solution(B), in gradient e-lution (0～10 min, 25 % →35 % A; 10～25 min, 35 %→40 % A). The flow rate was at 1.0 mL·min-1. The column tem-perature was 35 ℃;, and the detection wavelengths were set at 260nm for campanulin, 230 nm for paeoniflorin and 403 nm for hydroxysamor yellow A. Results The linear ranges of campanuliu, paconiflorin and hydroxysafflor yellow A were 0. 0539～1. 078 μg (r=0. 999 5), O. 4160～8. 320μg (r=0. 999 8), and 0. 0418～0. 8352 μg (r=0. 999 5) respectively; the av-erage recovery was 99. 4 % (RSD=1.5 %), 100. 6 % (RSD=1.7 %), and 101.0 % (RSD=1.9 %) respectively. Conclu-sion The method is simple, feasible and reproducible, and can be used for the quality control of Buyang Huanwu Decoction.
