OBJECTIVE: To establish the method for simultaneous determination of the content of metronidazole, clindamycin hydrochloride, spironolactone and vitamin B6 in Compound metronidazole clindamycin cream. METHODS: HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Diamonsil C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-[0.68% dipotassium hydrogen phosphate solution (containing 1% triethylamine)] (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 210 nm, and column temperature was 25 ℃. The sample size was 20 μL. RESULTS: The linear ranges of metronidazole, clindamycin hydrochloride, spironolactone and vitamin B6 were respectively 20.0-120.0 μg/mL(r=0.999 9),10.0-60.0 μg/mL(r=0.999 1), 4.0-24.0 μg/mL(r=0.999 4),10.0-60.0 μg/mL (r=0.999 4). The quantitative limits were respectively 13.06, 7.36, 2.43, 6.42 μg/mL. The detection limits were 4.18, 1.82, 0.76, 1.79 μg/mL. RSDs of the precision, stability, repeatability tests were all less than 2%. The recovery rates were respectively 98.97%-100.91%(RSD=0.79%,n=9), 99.02%-101.80%(RSD=1.03%,n=9), 98.18%-101.05% (RSD=1.01%,n=9)and 98.75%-101.36%(RSD=0.87%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS: The method is simple, rapid, accurate and can be used for the determination of metronidazole, clindamycin hydrochloride, spironolactone and vitamin B6 in Compound clindamycin metronidazole cream.
