ABSTRACT

Objective To set up the determining method of quercetinum in Kuding Cha of Ligustrum by HPLC. Method Hypersil ODS2 chromatographic column (4.6 mm?250 mm, 5 ?m) was adopted. Methanol 0.4% phosphoric acid (47∶53) was used as mobile phase, the flow rate was 1 mL/min, and the detecting wavelength was 360 nm. Result The linear range of quercetinum was 0.050 4～1.008 0 ?g, r =0.999 99, and the average recovery was 101.61% (RSD=1.75%, n =5). Conclusion The method is convenient and accurate, and can used be as basis of quality control for Kuding Cha of Ligustrum.
