OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for simultaneous determination of berberine hydrochloride,icariin,acteoside,isoflavone glucoside,paeoniflorin,mangiferin,salvianolic acid B and puerarin in Pingzang tiaoshen granule.METHODS:HPLC method was adopted.The determination was performed on InertSustain C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.05mol/L potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution (pH to 3,gradient elution) with the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min.The detection wavelength was set at 250 nm (0-23 min,puerarin,mangiferin),230 nm (＞23-30 min,paeoniflorin),220 nm (＞30-50 min,isoflavone glucoside,acteoside),286 nm (＞50-60 min,salvianolic acid B),265 nm (＞60-75 min,berberine hydrochloride),220 nm (＞75-90 min,icariin).The column temperature was set at 30 ℃,and sample size was 10 μL.RESLUTS:The linear range of berberine hydrochloride,icariin,acteoside,isoflavone glucoside,paeoniflorin,mangiferin,salvianolic acid B and puerarin were 4.000-400.0,4.843-484.3,0.498-49.8,2.366-236.6,23.26-2 326.0,3.067-306.7,3.629-362.9 μg/mL,48.23-4 823.2 μg/mL(r≥0.999 4),respectively.The limits of detection were 0.02,0.02,0.02,0.02,0.01,0.02,0.01,0.01 μg/mL;the limits of quantitation were 0.07,0.05,0.06,0.05,0.03,0.07,0.02,0.03 μg/mL,respectively.RSDs of precision,stability (24 h)and repetition tests were a11＜2.0％ (n=6).The average recoveries were 95.77％-103.50％ (RSD=0.77％-2.22％,n=6).CONCLUSIONS:Established method can be used for simultaneous determination of 8 components such as berberine hydrochloride in Pingzang tiaoshen granule.

Cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (CD-MOF) as a highly porous supramolecular carrier could be one of the solutions to the insolubility of isosteviol (STV). The solubility of STV was lower than 20.00 ng/mL at pH 1.0 and pH 4.5, whilst its solubility increased to 20,074.30 ng/mL at pH 6.8 and 129.58 ng/mL in water with a significant pH-dependence. The
