Determination of notoginsenoside R1 and ginsenoside Rg1, Re, Rb1, Rd in Xuesaitong Injection by HPLC-ELSD
AIM To establish a method for simultaneously determining notoginsenoside R1 and ginsenoside Rg1, Re, Rb1, Rd in Xuesaitong Injection (Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma) by HPLC-ELSD. METHODS A Venusil XBP C18 column (4. 6 mm ×250 mm, 5 μm) was used with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-water for notoginsenoside R1, ginsenoside Rg1, Re, Rb1, Rd. The flow rate was 1. 0 mL/min at 30℃. The temperature of driti tube was 70℃ and the nebulizer nitrogen flow was 25 psi (1 psi =6. 895 kPa). RESULTS The linearities of notoginsenoside R1, ginsenoside Rg1, Re, Rb1, Rd were in the ranges of 2. 78 -27. 8 μg/mL, 9. 24 -92. 4 μg/ mL, 0. 384 -3. 84 μg/mL, 5. 55 -55. 5 μg/mL and 1. 904 - 19. 04 μg/mL, respectively. The average recoveries were 97. 60% , 100.71% , 98. 14% , 100.94% and 99.69% , respectively. CONCLUSION The method is simple, reliable and precise, and could be used for quality control of the injection.
