Objective To establish a simultaneous method for determination of 5 constituents from Panax quinquefolium stem leaf 20(S)-protopanaxdiol saponins,Ginsenoside-Rb1,Rc,Rb2,Rb3 and Rd by RP-HPLC.MethodsPanax quinquefolium stem leaf 20(S)-protopanaxdiol saponins was provided by the Ji'an Yisheng Pharmaceutical Stock Co.Ltd..The Agilent ODS column(5 ?m,4.6 mm?250 mm)was used,and eluted with acetonitrile-0.2% phosphoric acid water in gradient mode.The UV detection wavelength was 203 nm,and the flow rate was 1.0 ml/min,with the temperature of column at 40 ℃.The accuracy,stability and repeability of this method was evaluated.The yield rate was measured.ResultsFive compounds were baseline separated,with good linearity.A standard curve was plotted.Our method was proved to have sound accuracy,stability and repeability.The yield rate was 98.39%,97.36%,98.02%,97.70% and 97.01% respectively for Ginsenoside-Rb1,Rc,Rb2,Rb3 and Rd.ConclusionOur method of determination is rapid and accurate,and can be used for controlling the quality of Panax quinquefolium 20(S)-protopanaxdiol saponins.
