OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for the simultaneous determination of scutellarin and linarin in Scoparia dulcis. METHODS: HPLC was performed on the column of Phenomenex C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.05% phosphoric acid (gradient elution) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min, the detection wavelength was 330 nm, column temperature was 30 ℃, and the injection volume was 10 μl. RESULTS:The linear range was 0.015 8-0.316 8 mg/ml for scutellarin (r=0.999 9) and 0.000 5-0.010 4 mg/ml for linarin (r=0.999 7); RSDs of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 3%; recoveries were 99.56%-102.38%(RSD=1.07%,n=6) and 95.14%-98.29%(RSD=1.24%,n=6), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The method is simple with good stability and reprodicibility,and can be used for the simultaneous determination of scutellarin and linarin in S. du- lcis.
