Content determination of 7 components in Shenshuai mixture by HPLC
Objective To establish an HPLC method to determine the content of 7 components in Shenshuai mixture.Methods The chromatographic column was Kromasil 100-5-C18(4.6 mm×250 mm,5 μm);the mobile phase was acetonitrile(A)-0.2%formic acid(B)with gradient elution:0~5 min,12%~14%A;5~25 min,14%~18%A;25~50 min,18%~21%A;50~75 min,21%~30%A;75~85 min,30%~40%A;85~95 min,40%~60%A;and 95~100 min,60%~12%A.The flow rate was 1.0 mL·min-1.The detection wavelength was 260 nm and the column temperature was 25 ℃.Results The mass concentrations of calycosin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside,neoastilbin,astilbin,hesperidin,calycosin,formononetin and nobiletin had good linearity at 2.01 to 10.03 μg·mL-1(r=0.999),8.64 to 43.2 μg·mL-1(r=0.995),5.25 to 26.25μg·mL-1(r=0.999),26.67 to 133.34 μg·mL-1(r=0.999),0.89 to 4.43 μg·mL-1(r=0.999),0.48 to 2.42 μg·mL-1(r=0.999)and 0.48 to 2.42 μg·mL-1(r=0.999).The RSDs of precision,repeatability and stability(24 h)were all lower than 3%.The average recoveries were 98.81%,105.58%,100.32%,104.68%,106.65%,100.28%,and 100.44%,and the RSDs were all lower than 3%,respectively.Conclusion This method is simple,repeatitive and exclusive,which can be used to determine multiple components in Shenshuai mixture.
