Abstract:
An accurate RP-HPLC method for the determination of xyacanthine,berbamine,columbamine,jatrorrhizine,isotetrandrine, Palmatine and berberine in the root of
Berberis aemulans Schneld.,
B;candidulaSchneid,
B,dasystachya maxim.,
B.poiretii Schneid.and
B,pruinosa Franch.has been developed.Analytical column was μ-Bondapak phenyl.The mobile phase consisted of 0.02mol·L
-1KH
2PO
4─CH
3CN(7:3).Flow rate was l.0 ml·min
-1.From0.0~10.0 min the elute was detected at 203 nm and from l0.0~30.0 min at 346 nm,External standard method was used.During the detection,the wavelength was changed to obtain high sensitivity and precision.
