Objective:
To Set up a method for determining the contents of the five flavonoids simultaneously in the HuangKui capsule and analyze their specific chromatograms.
Methods:
HPLC method was used. The analytical column was Thermo scientific Hypersil GOLD (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm). The mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile (A) and 0.2% orthophosphoric acid (B) with gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.8 mL/min and detection wavelength was 360 nm. The column temperature was maintained at 30 degrees C.
Results:
Contents of the five flavonoids (Rutin, Hyperoside, Isoquercitrin, Myricetin, Quercitrin) had good resolution with the correlation coefficients exceed 0.9999 and the average percent recovery lied in 98.46% to 100.33%. The chromatograms of the HuangKui capsule shared 15 common peaks in which 5 of them were recognized by the reference standard. Chromatograms of 10 lots of HuangKui capsule were analyzed with the similarities over 0.95.
Conclusion:
The proposed method of contents determination and chromatogram analysis has strong characteristic and specificity. This method is fast, easy and reliable, and can be applied for quality control of the preparation.
