OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for the simultaneous determination of galangin, galangin-3-methyl ether, bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin and curcumin in mongolian medicine Xieriga-4. METHODS: HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Elite C18 column with mobile phase consisted of 0.5% phosphoric acid-acetonitrile (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. The detection wavelengths were set at 235 nm (galangin, galangin-3-methyl ether) and 420 nm (bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin and curcumin). The column temperature was set at 25 ℃, and sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS: The linear range of galangin, galangin-3-methyl ether, bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin and curcumin were 0.047 2-0.472 0 μg(r=0.999 9), 0.104 0-1.040 0 μg(r=0.999 9), 0.030 4-0.304 0 μg(r=0.999 9),0.039 2-0.392 0 μg(r=0.999 8), 0.232 0-2.320 0 μg(r=0.999 7), respectively. The limits of quantitation were 11.41, 12.73, 4.92, 5.29, 5.39 ng; the limits of detection were 3.41, 3.72, 1.46, 1.59, 1.62 ng, respectively, respectively. RSDs of precision, stability and repeatability tests were all lower than 3%. The recovery rates were 97.24%-102.93%(RSD=2.01%,n=6), 95.10%-101.50%(RSD=2.34%,n=6), 95.23%-97.61%(RSD=0.97%,n=6), 97.10%-100.65%(RSD=1.24%,n=6), 98.69%-101.15%(RSD=0.99%,n=6), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The method is simple, accurate and reproducible. It can be used for simultaneous determination of galangin, galangin-3-methyl ether, bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin and curcumin in mongolian medicine Xieriga-4.
