Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drug detection, and in particular to a method for detecting impurities in compound bergenin tablets. Background Art
[0002] Compound Bergenin Tablets have antitussive and expectorant properties and are used for chronic bronchitis. This compound preparation contains 125mg of bergenin and 2mg of chlorpheniramine maleate. Bergenin, a dihydroisocoumarin compound, has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antitussive and antiasthmatic properties. It is commonly used as an active ingredient in antitussive and anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of coughs, acute and chronic tracheitis, and duodenal ulcers. Chlorpheniramine maleate has a strong histamine H1 receptor blocking effect, which can alleviate respiratory symptoms caused by allergies.
[0003] Because the impurities in Compound Bergenin Tablets have similar structures, impurity peaks easily overlap when tested using HPLC, making it impossible to accurately detect the specific components and amounts of the impurities. Only the total impurity content or the bergenin content in Compound Bergenin Tablets can be detected. For example, the invention patent application number 01410813386.8, entitled "Method for Testing the Quality of Compound Bergenin Tablets," also uses HPLC analysis, but can only detect the bergenin content, not the individual impurity components and amounts. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a method for detecting impurities in compound bergenin tablets using high performance liquid chromatography analysis, which can quickly detect and accurately measure the impurity components and contents of compound bergenin tablets.
[0005] A method for detecting impurities in compound bergenin tablets comprises the following steps:

[0014] Step S4: Gradient elution:
[0015] Octadecylsilane bonded silica gel is used as filler;
[0016] Methanol was used as mobile phase A;
[0017] Phosphate buffer was used as mobile phase B.

[0024] The above-mentioned method for detecting impurities in compound bergenin tablets preferably further comprises step S5, obtaining linear equations of each component, wherein:
[0025] The linear equation of bergenin is: A=16988C+1142.2, R 2 =0.9999;
[0026] The linear equation of impurity A is: A = 1929.3C-262.18, R 2 =1;
[0027] The linear equation of impurity B is: A = 13382C + 1224.5, R 2 =0.9994;
