Simultaneous determinations of paeonol and palmatine hydrochloride in Shangshi Aerosols by HPLC method.

摘要

A simple and rapid HPLC method was described for the simultaneous determination of paeonol and palmatine hydrochloride in Shangshi Aerosols. The optimum separation for these analytes was achieved using the mixture of 0.025M sodium dihydrogen phosphate-acetonitrile-diethylamine (64:35:1, v/v/v) as the mobile phase and a Nova-Pak((R)) C8 column. The linear ranges of paeonol and palmatine hydrochloride were 0.2-80 and 0.06-60mug/ml with the regression equations being Y=11716.4+2.96x10(6)X (R=0.99969), Y=-6388.8+1.89x10(5)X (R=0.99976), and limit of quantifications (LOQ) for paeonol and palmatine hydrochloride were 0.2 and 0.06mug/ml, respectively (n=6). Other validation parameters: intra-day precision (R.S.D.: 0.71-1.65%) and inter-day precision (R.S.D.: 0.89-2.11%), and reproducibility (recoveries values: 94.6-98.2% for paeonol, 94.85-97.58% for palmatine hydrochloride) were found to be satisfactory. The proposed HPLC method had been applied for the determination of paeonol and palmatine hydrochloride inShangshi Aerosols; R.S.D. values were 1.45 and 1.13%, respectively. In short, this method was rapid and convenient, which could be used for the routine control of paeonol and palmatine hydrochloride in Shangshi Aerosols.
