Determination of Berberine Hydrochloride and Curcumine in Shangke Dieda Paste by HPLC / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective: To establish a method for the determination of curcumine and berberine hydrochloride in Shangke Dieda paste. Methods:An HPLC method was adopted to determine the content of curcumine and berberine hydrochloride in Shangke Dieda paste. For curcumine, the column was InertSutain C18 (250 mm × 4. 6 mm,5 μm); the mobile phase was acetonitrile and 4% acetic acid solution (44 ∶56);the flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1;the column temperature was 25℃;the detection wavelength was 430 nm;the sample size was 10μl. For berberine hydrochloride, the column was InertSutain C18 (250 mm × 4. 6 mm,5μm);the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0. 1% phosphoric acid (44 ∶56, 0. 2 g dodecyl sodium sulfate was added to 100 ml solution); the flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1;the column temperature was 25℃ ;the detection wavelength was 345 nm;the sample size was 10 μl. Results:A good linear correlation was obtained within the range of 0.01-0.50 μg (r =0.999 3) for curcumin and 0.02-0.16 μg(r =0. 999 9) for berberine hydrochloride. The average recovery was 101. 03% with RSD of 1. 75% for curcumin and 99. 20% with RSD of 0. 64% for berberine hydrochloride (n=9). Conclusion:The established method is simple, accurate, sensitive and specific, which can be used for the quality control of Shangke Dieda paste.
