OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for simultaneous determination of lysophosphatidyl choline (LPC) and lysophosphatidyl ethanolamine (LPE) in Nimodipine fat emulsion. METHODS: HPLC was performed on the column of Lichrosher Diol with detector of evaporative light scattering detector with mobile phase A of heptane - isopropyl alcohol solution (43 ∶ 57,V/V), mobile phase B n-heptane - isopropyl alcohol - water (29.5 ∶ 59 ∶ 11.5, V/V/V) (gradient elution) at a flow rate of 1.5 ml/min, column temperature was 40 ℃, and the injection volume was 20 μl. RESULTS: The linear range was 0.020 0-0.400 0 mg/ml for LPC (r=0.999 0) and 0.010 0-0.200 0 mg/ml for LPE (r=0.999 6), and the logarithm value of concentration and peak area showed good linear relationship; the limit of quantitation was 0.013 4 mg/ml for LPC and 0.013 0 mg/ml for LPE; the limit of detection was 0.007 8 mg/ml for LPC and 0.007 6 mg/ml for LPE; RSDs of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2%; recoveries were 95.96%-100.63% (RSD=1.83%, n=9) and 99.22%-101.76% (RSD=0.80%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS: The method is simple, and can be used for the determination of related substance in Nimodipine fat emulsion.
