Simultaneous Determination of Six Components in Cortex Phellodendri by HPLC

[Objectives]This study was conducted to establish the method for simultaneous determination of six active components.[Methods]Simultaneous determination of chlorogenic acid,phellodendrine,magnoflorine,jatrorrhizine,palmatine and berberine in Cortex Phellodendri was carried out by HPLC with a Diamonsil C18(4.6 mm×250 mm,5μm)column was used.The mobile phase was acetonitrile-water(1‰acetic acid,2 mmol ammonium acetate)solution in gradient elution.The detection wavelength was set at 280 nm,and the column temperature was kept at 25℃and the flow rate was 1 ml/min.[Results]The linear ranges of chlorogenic acid,phellodendrine,magnoflorine,jatrorrhizine,palmatine and berberine were 20.00-320.00,18.75-130.00,25.00-200.00,5.00-100.00,20.00-200.00,and 0.09-1.80 mg/L,respectively.The average recovery was 98.1%,99.4%,97.5%,97.3%,104.0%,and 98.5%,respectively;and the RSDs were 0.5%,0.6%,0.8%,1.0%,1.4%,and 0.9%,respectively.[Conclusions]The method is convenient,stable,reliable and suitable for quality control of Cortex Phellodendri.

Simultaneous Determination of Six Constituents in Cangbaiqutong Capsule by HPLC Wavelength Switching Technique

[Objectives] To establish a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) wavelength switching method for the simultaneous determination of content of six constituents (phellodendrine chloride, gentiopicrin, paeoniflorin, tetrandrine, berberine hydrochloride and paeonol) in Cangbaiqutong capsules, and provide a scientific basis for the comprehensive evaluation of the quality of Cangbaiqutong capsule.[Methods] The chromatographic column of Waters XSELECT CSH-C 18 (4.6 mm × 150 mm, 5 μm), the mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphate solution, gradient elution (0-15 min,10%-18% A;15-30 min,18%-50% A;30-35 min, 50%-10% A);the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, wavelength switching of 284 (0-7 min, phellodendrine), 274 (7-10 min, gentiopicrin), 230 (10-14 min, paeoniflorin) and 274 nm (14-35 min, tetrandrine, berberine hydrochloride, paeonol), the injection volume of 10 μL.[Results] There was a good linear relationship between the area of chromatographic peak and the injection volume of phellodendrine chloride, gentiopicrin, paeoniflorin, tetrandrine, berberine hydrochloride and paeonol in the range of 0.150-1.504, 0.768-7.680, 1.096-10.960, 0.220-2.200, 0.296-2.956, 0.0345-0.345 μg, respectively;the average recovery rates ( n =6) were 98.3%, 99.2%, 98.8%, 98.8%, 99.1% and 98.2%, respectively;the RSD value was 1.32%, 1.46%, 1.08%, 1.31%, 1.26% and 1.21%, respectively.[Conclusions] The method can be used to determine many kinds of constituents at the same time, and the operation is simple, accurate and reproducible, and can be used for the quality control of compound Cangbaiqutong capsules.
