OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for simultaneous determination of albiflorin, paeoniflorin, liquiritin, liquiritigenin, cinnamic acid, cinnamaldehyde, ammonium glycyrrhetate and 6-ginger phenol in Guizhijiashaoyao decoction. METHODS: HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Kromasil C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid solution (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelengths were 235 nm(0-35 min,albiflorin, paeoniflorin, liquiritin)、280 nm(35-65 min,liquiritigenin, cinnamic acid, cinnamaldehyde, ammonium glycyrrhetate and 6-ginger phenol). The column temperature was 25 ℃, and the sample size was 20 μL. RESULTS: The linear range of albiflorin, paeoniflorin, liquiritin, liquiritigenin, cinnamic acid, cinnamaldehyde, ammonium glycyrrhetate and 6-ginger phenol were 2.125-34.000 μg/mL(r=0.999 9), 28.700-459.200 μg/mL(r=0.999 7), 3.675-58.800 μg/mL(r=0.999 7), 1.235-19.760 μg/mL(r=0.999 8), 2.300-36.800 μg/mL(r=0.999 8), 0.955-15.280 μg/mL(r=0.999 7), 36.000-576.000 μg/mL(r=0.999 7) and 1.500-24.000 μg/mL(r=0.999 7), respectively. The quantitative limits were 0.135, 0.102, 0.096, 0.033, 0.013, 0.023, 0.663, 0.198 μg/mL; the detection limits were 0.041, 0.031, 0.029, 0.010, 0.004, 0.007, 0.201, 0.059 μg/mL. RSDs of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 3% (n=6). The recovery rates were 97.47%-100.76%(RSD=1.33%,n=6), 98.15%-103.50%(RSD=1.82%,n=6), 95.65%-100.84%(RSD=2.38%,n=6), 96.75%-100.32%(RSD=1.31%,n=6), 95.88%-102.75%(RSD=2.52%,n=6), 95.63%-100.63%(RSD=2.00%,n=6), 96.78%-100.45%(RSD=1.35%,n=6), 95.71%-100.48%(RSD=1.80%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS: The method is accurate, reliable and exclusive, and suitable for simultaneous determination of 8 ingredients in Guizhijiashaoyao decoction.
