HPLC Fingerprint of Zanthoxylum echinocarpum / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective To study chromatography fingerprints of Zanthoxylum echinocarpum by HPLC.Methods Diamonsil C18 column(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) was used with acetonitrile-water gradient elution,at flow-rate of 1.0 mL/min,detection wavelength at 278 nm.Results HPLC was used to establish fingerprint chromatograph of water extraction from ten batches of Z.echinocarpum,which had been harvested from the same area in Zhangjiajie at the same time.The result showed that 11 peaks were common.Conclusion The method could be used for the quality control of Z.echinocarpum.
