RESUMO
AIM: To develope a reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for the quantitative determination of chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid in Shegan Kangbingdu Injection. METHODS: The operation was carried out in the Kromasil ODS column with the mobile phase consisting of a mixture of water-methanol-acetonitril aceti acid(95∶10∶5∶2,v/v),in which the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and UV detection wavelength at 326 nm were set to determine the contents of chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid. RESULTS: There were good linear relations between the concentrations and the peak-areas of chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid.The relative standard deviation of peak areas for chlorogenic acid or caffeic acid were 0.60%,0.32%,respectively.The two kinds of standard solutions were both stable in 16 h(RSD=0.54% for CGA,0.11% for CFA).The average recovery was 100.1%,99.6% for CGA,CFA,repectively.The detectable limit(S/N=3)was 0.012,0.020 mg/L,and the quantitative limit (S/N=10) was 0.037,0.052 mg/L,repectively. CONCLUSION:The method is simple,sensitive,rapid and accurate,and can be used for the quality control of Shegan Kangbingdu Injection
