OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for the determination of aesculin and aesculetin in Jiuxiang zhixie tablets.METHODS: HPLC method was developed to quantitative determination.Thermo C18(250 mm?4.60 mm,5?m) column was adopted.The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1%H3PO4(12 ∶ 88)with flow rate of 1.0 mL?min-1 and the detection wavelength of 334 nm.The column tempreture was set at 30℃.RESULTS: The linear range of aesculin was 80~800 ng(r=0.999 8).The average recovery was 100.1%(RSD=1.89%,n=9).The linear range of aesculetin was 32.96~329.6 ng(r=0.999 5).The average recovery of aesculetin was 101.5%(RSD=2.42%,n=9).CONCLUSION: The method is simple,accurate for the content determination of Jiuxiang zhixie tablet.
