OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for the content determination of verbascoside in Lixin pill. METHODS: HPLC was performed on the column of ZORBAX SB-Aq with mobile phase of acetonitrile-1% phosphoric acid solution (16 ∶ 84,V/V) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min, detection wavelength was 334 nm, column temperature was 30℃, and injection volume was 10 μl. RESULTS: The linear range of verbascoside was 0.254 4-1.526 4 μg(r=0.999 7); limit of quantification was 1.358 6 μg/ml, and limit of detection was 0.407 6 μg/ml; RSDs of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2%; recovery was 95.06%-97.31%(RSD=1.05%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS: The method is simple, accurate, and suitable for the content determination of verbascoside in Lixin pill.
