OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for simultaneous determination of the contents of gallic acid, jasminoidin, albiflorin, paeoniflorin, danshinolic acid B, paeonol and tanshinone ⅡA in Gankangfu water pill. METHODS: HPLC method with DAD was adopted. The determination was performed on Agilent ZORBAX SB-C18 column with mobile phase A consisted of acetonitrile and mobile phase B consisted of 0.1% phosphate solution (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelengths were set at 267 nm (gallic acid), 235 nm (jasminoidin, albiflorin, paeoniflorin), 286 nm (danshinolic acid B), 274 nm (paeonol) and 270 nm (tanshinone ⅡA) . The column temperature was set at 30 ℃ and sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS: The linear range of gallic acid, jasminoidin, albiflorin, paeoniflorin, danshinolic acid B, paeonol and tanshinone ⅡA were 4.09-51.17 μg/mL (r=0.999 5), 8.35-104.35 μg/mL (r=0.999 1), 7.78-97.25 μg/mL (r=0.999 9), 7.56-94.54 μg/mL (r=0.999 3), 16.70-208.80 μg/mL (r=0.999 5), 3.46-43.20 μg/mL (r=0.999 7), 23.13-289.10 μg/mL (r=0.999 9), respectively. The detection limits were 0.09, 0.15, 0.13, 0.12, 0.16, 0.04 and 0.24 μg/mL; quantitative limits were 0.26, 0.52, 0.48, 0.47, 0.88, 0.18 and 0.98 μg/mL, respectively. The average recovery rates were 91.83%, 96.11%, 96.83%, 95.82%, 96.93%, 93.95% and 94.79%, respectively (n=6). RSDs of precision test were not more than 1.00% (n=6). RSDs of stability test were not more than 0.96% within 48 h (n=6), and RSDs of repeatability test were than 0.99% (n=6). CONCLUSIONS: The method is accurate and reliable, and can be used for content determination of above 7 components in Gankangfu water pill.
