Determination of toddalolactone in Zanthoxylum nitidum Chinese medicinal toothpaste by HPLC
OBJECTIVE To detect toddalolactone in Zanthoxylum nitidum Chinese medicinal toothpaste by HPLC.METHODS Zorbax SB-C18(250 mm x4.6 mm,5 pm)was used for sample analysis.0.1%formic acid aqueous solution-acetonitrile was used as mobile phases for gradient elution,with a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1.The temperature of the column was 35 ℃ and the wavelength was 328 nm.RESULTS The standard working curve of toddalolactone had good linear relationship in concentration of 0.5180-8.2880 μg·mL-1,and the correlation coefficient was 0.9997.The average recovery rate was 101.04%.CONCLUSION The method has the advantages of short analytical time,high precision and good repeatability,which can be used to determine the content of nitidine in Zanthoxylum nitidum Chinese medicinal toothpaste.
