Determination of ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Re in Wushenqi Oral Liquid by RP-HPLC / 中成药

ABSTRACT

AIM: To develop a RP-HPLC method of determining ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Re in Wu-(shenqi) Oral Liquid(Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng,Radix Astragali,Fructus Ligustri Lucidi,etc.). METHODS: Hypersil-C_(18) column was used at 30 ℃.The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water(103∶400) with 0.05% H_3PO_4.The detection wavelength was set at 203 nm.The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min. RESULTS: The linear ranges for ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Re were 0.188-6.016 ?g(r=0.999 9) and 0.197-6.323 ?g(r=(0.999)),respectively.Its average recoveries were 99.53% with RSD of 0.96% and 99.13% with RSD of 0.62%,respectively. CONCLUSION: This method is simple,accurate,reproducible,and can be used for the determination of ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Re in Wushenqi Oral Liquid.
