Study on determination of oleanolic acid in Fructus Mume / 中成药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine oleanolic acid in Fructus Mume. Methods: HPLC with Shim-pack CLC-ODS column was used. The mobile phase was composed of MeOH-H 2O-HOAc-TEA (85∶15∶0.04∶0.02). The flow rate was 0.8mL?min -1 and the detection wavelength was at 204nm. Results: It showed that a good linear relationship existed in the range of 0.8864～4.432?g of oleanolic acid. Its average recovery was 97.03%. RSD was 0.25% (n=5), respectively. Conclusion: This method is quick, accurate and can be used for the determination of oleanolic acid of Fructus Mume.
