This invention discloses an
HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of five components—
protocatechuic acid,
verbascoside, argentin,
verbascoside, and argentin—in Compound
Euonymus fortunei Capsules. The chromatographic conditions used are as follows: an Acclaim 120-C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) is used, with
acetonitrile-0.2%
phosphoric acid solution as the mobile phase,
gradient elution, and a flow rate of 1 ml / min. ‑1 The
column temperature was 30℃, and the detection
wavelength was 254nm. Under these chromatographic conditions, the linear ranges for the five components were:
protocatechuic acid Y = 11726348.35x + 87150.17; (R 2 =0.9999),
verbascoside Y = 27134X - 0.5781; (R 2 =0.9994), stigmoside Y = 29605X + 14.0030; (R 2 =0.9996), verbascoside Y = 51970X - 25.7380; (R 2 =0.9991), styracin Y = 61726X + 7.1802; (R 2 =0.9991). The chromatographic peaks of
protocatechuic acid, verbascoside, gentianin, verbascoside, and gentianin were well separated, and the concentration and
peak area showed a good
linear relationship. This method is simple, rapid, accurate, and reproducible, and can provide a theoretical basis for the quality of Compound
Euonymus fortunei Capsules.
