Objective To establish an high perfermance liquid chromatography method for determination of five indole alkaloids in Rauvolfia.Methods The Diamonsil C18 column was used at 25 ℃ with methanol-water (gradient elution) as the mobile phase,the flow rate was 1.0 mL·min-1,the detective wavelength was 280 nm,and the injection volume was 5 μL.Results In the range of 1.56-200 μg· mL-1,the correlation coefficients of regression equations of sarpagine,yohimbine,ajmaline,ajmalicine,reserpine were higher than 0.999 0.The average recovery (n =9) of five indole alkaloids was between 95.0%-105.0%.Conclusion This method is simple with good accuracy and repeatability.It can be used for quality control of Rauvolfia.
