Abstract

A high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of eight marker components, ginsenoside Rf, Rb1, Rb2, Rb3, Rd, Rg3, 20(S)-ginsenoside F2 and schizandrin, present in traditional Chinese medicinal Yi-Qi-Fu-Mai preparations. Samples were prepared using a solid phase extraction procedure. Chromatographic separation was carried out on a Waters Symmetry C18 column (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm) by stepwise gradient elution with water (0.05% phosphoric acid, v/v) and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. Good linear relationships between were observed between peak areas and concentrations with r 2 values above 0.9990 for all the analytes. Average recoveries for the eight markers ranged from 97.7 to 100.4%. This method was found to be rapid, sensitive, accurate, and could be readily applied to the quality assessment of Yi-Qi-Fu-Mai preparations.
