OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for simultaneous determination for ginsenoside Rb1, ginsenosides Rc, ginsenosides Rb2 and ginsenosides Rd in Shengmai powder. METHODS:HPLC was performed on the column of Agilent ZORBAX Extend-C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile -0.1% formic acid(gradient elution) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min, wavelength was 203 nm, column temperature was 30 ℃ and the volume injection was 10 ml. RESULTS:The linear was 0.78-38.75 μg for ginsenoside Rb1(r=0.999 6),0.51-25.50 μg for ginsenosides Rc (r=0.999 6),0.43-21.50 μg for ginsenosides Rb2(r=0.999 7) and 0.20-10.00 μg for ginsenosides Rd(r=0.999 7); RSDs of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2%; recoveries were 96.6%-101.2%(RSD=1.6%,n=6),97.0%-102.1%(RSD=1.7%,n=6),99.1%-102.8%(RSD=1.3%,n=6) and 96.3%-101.1%(RSD=1.6%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple, rapid with good stability, reproducibility and high precision, and can be used for quality control of Shengmai powder.
