OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for simultaneous determination of (R,S)-goitrin and chlorogenic acid in Banchai oral liquid. METHODS: The dual-wavelength HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Wondasil C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid (11 ∶ 89,V/V) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelengths were 245 nm for (R,S)-goitrin and 327 nm for chlorogenic acid. The column temperature was 30 ℃, and injection volume was 10 μL. RESULTS: The linear ranges were 4.05-40.51 μg/mL for (R,S)-goitrin (r=0.999 9), 29.41-294.05 μg/mL for chlorogenic acid (r=0.999 9). The limits of quantification were 3.32, 2.45 ng, limits of detection were 1.00, 0.74 ng. RSDs of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 1.0%; the recoveries were 98.46%-101.06% (RSD=0.98%,n=9) and 98.18%-100.78%(RSD=0.86%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS: The method is simple, accurate, sensitive and reproducible, and can be used for simultaneous determination of (R,S)-goitrin and chlorogenic acid in Banchai oral liquid.
