OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for simultaneous determination of 10 active components (albiflorin, paeoniflorin, β-ecdysterone, liquiritin, ferulic acid, liquiritigenin, cinnamic acid, cinnamaldehyde, paeonol and ammonium glycyrrhetate) in Wenjing decoction. METHODS: HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Kromasil C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid water solution (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, in dual wavelength switching detection (0-25 min, 240 nm for albiflorin, paeoniflorin, β-ecdysterone, liquiritin, ferulic acid; 25-65 min, 275 nm for liquiritigenin, cinnamic acid, cinnamaldehyde, paeonol, ammonium glycyrrhetate). The column temperature was set at 25 ℃, and sample size was 20 μL. RESULTS: The linear range of albiflorin, paeoniflorin, β-ecdysterone, liquiritin, ferulic acid, liquiritigenin, cinnamic acid, cinnamaldehyde, paeonol and ammonium glycyrrhetate were 4.04-80.80, 19.32-368.40, 2.62-52.40, 17.52-350.40, 2.07-41.40, 4.02-80.40, 0.56-11.20, 1.69-33.80, 2.18-43.60 and 72.10-1 442.00 μg/mL (all r≥0.999 6), respectively. The limits of detection were 0.06, 0.03, 0.04, 0.06, 0.07, 0.05, 0.04, 0.06, 0.07, 0.09 μg/mL, respectively. The limits of quantitation were 0.17, 0.09, 0.13, 0.19, 0.20, 0.18, 0.11, 0.15, 0.18, 0.25 μg/mL, respectively. RSDs of precision, reproducibility and stability tests (24 h) were all lower than 3.5% (n=6-7). The average recovery rates were 97.72%-100.60% with the RSDs of 0.80%-2.49% (n=6). CONCLUSIONS: The established HPLC method is accurate, reliable and specfic, and suitable for simultaneous determination of 10 active components as albiflorin in Wenjing decoction.
