OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for simultaneous determination of 6 components in Niuhuang ninggong tablets. METHODS: HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on TC-C18 column with mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.05% phosphate acid (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 280 nm, and the column temperature was 25 ℃. The sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS: The linear ranges of glycyrrhizin, berberine hydrochloride, baicalin, baicalin, emodin and chrysophanol were 3.2-320 μg/mL(r=0.999 9), 8.8-880 μg/mL(r=0.999 8), 5.6-560 μg/mL (r=0.999 5),2.0-200 μg/mL(r=0.999 9), 4.4-440 μg/mL (r=0.999 9),2.0-200 μg/mL(r=0.999 7), respectively. RSDs of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 6.0%. The recoveries were 96.34%-97.25%(RSD=0.33%,n=6), 96.12%-98.06%(RSD=0.82%,n=6), 96.36%-99.09%(RSD=1.02%,n=6),95.84%-97.32%(RSD=0.65%,n=6), 95.83%-97.92%(RSD=0.88%,n=6), 98.60%-99.65%(RSD=0.42%,n=6), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The method is simple, accurate, stable and reproducible, and can be used for content determination of 6 components in Niuhuang ninggong tablets.
