Simultaneous determination of puerarin and tanshinone Ⅱ A in Xinkeshu Capsule by HPLC / 中成药

ABSTRACT

AIM: To determine puerarin and tanshinone ⅡA in Xinkeshu Capsule(Radix Puerariae Lobatae,Radix et Rhizoma Salviae Miltiorrhizae) by HPLC simultaneously. METHODS: HPLC C_(18) column was used with methanol-water(85∶15) as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min,and the wave length was at 250 nm. RESULTS: There were good liner relationships for puerarin and tanshinone ⅡA with the sample input quantity at the range of 21-63 ?g(r=0.999 8) and 20.02-60.06 ?g(r=0.999 7),respectively.The average recoveries of puerarin and tanshinone ⅡA were 97.7% and 97.0%,respectively. CONCLUSION: This method is simple,accurate,effective and suitable for the quality control of Xinkeshu Capsules.
