ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish an UHPLC-PDA method for determinating the content of 7 iridoid glycosides and 4 flavonoids constitutents simultaneously in Xiaoer-Ganyan granules. Methods:To take Agilent Ecilipse C18 (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.6 μm), and the colunm temperature was at 30 ℃. The mobile phase consists of acetonitrile (A) and 0.05% phosphoric acid (B) in gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.3 ml/min. The detection wavelength was set at 240 and 278 nm.Results:The linear ranges of swertiamain, gentiopicrin, sweroside, shanzhiside methy ester, gardenoside, genipin-1-β-D-gentiobioside, geniposide, baicalin, wogonoside, baicalein and wogonin were 19.16-306.56 μg ( r=0.999 4), 3.34-53.28 μg ( r=0.999 1), 5.30-84.64 μg ( r=0.999 5), 0.80-12.80 μg ( r=0.999 4), 0.46-7.20 μg ( r=0.999 2), 2.78-44.48 μg ( r=0.999 6), 6.02-96.16 μg ( r=0.999 9), 33.22-531.36 μg ( r=0.999 9), 3.92-62.72 μg ( r=0.999 2), 2.38-37.92 μg ( r=0.999 7), 1.32-20.96 μg ( r=0.999 9), respectively. The average recoveries ( n=9) varied from 94.62%-107.53% with RSDs no more than 3.0%. Conclusion:Method validation suggested that the developed method was suitable for simultaneous determination of 11 major constitutents in Xiaoer-Ganyan granules, thus providing reference for the improvement of quality standard of the drug.
