OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for the determination of 2(5H)-Furanone in Levocanitine injection. METHODS: HPLC was performed on the column of APS-2 HYPERSIL with mobile phase of 0.05 mol/L potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer solution (pH4.7)-acetonitrile (35 ∶ 65,V/V) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min, the detection wavelength was 205 nm, column temperature was 30 ℃, and injection volume was 20 μl. RESULTS: The linear range of 2(5H)-Furanone was 0.001 974-0.987 mg/ml; the limit of quantitation was 4.0 ng, the limit of detection was 1.2 ng; RSDs of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2%; recovery was 97.04%-103.36%(RSD=0.24%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS: The method is simple, accurate, sensitive and reproducible, and suitable for the content determination of 2(5H)-Furanone in Levocanitine injection.
