OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for simultaneous determination of paeoniflorin, berberine hydrochloride and ammonium glycyrrhizinate in Xiaoer huadu powder. METHODS: HPLC method was adopted. The separation was performed on Waters SunFireTM-C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 238 nm, and column temperature was 25 ℃. The sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS: The linear ranges of paeoniflorin, berberine hydrochloride and ammonium glycyrrhizinate were 8.808-88.08 μg/mL(r=0.999 8), 1.778-17.78 μg/mL(r=0.999 6), 2.533-25.33 μg/mL(r=0.999 9), respectively. LOQ were 4.404, 0.889, 2.533 μg/mL; LOD were 1.101, 0.445, 1.267 μg/mL. RSDs of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 2%. The recoveries were 95.08%-99.61%(RSD=1.77%,n=9), 96.93%-99.94%(RSD=0.92%,n=9),98.33%-102.05%(RSD=1.27%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS: The method is simple, accurate and reproducible, and can be used for simultaneous determination of paeoniflorin, berberine hydrochloride and ammonium glycyrrhizinate in Xiaoer huadu powder.
