Abstract

OBJECTIVE To develop an HPLC method for the assay of icariin in Bushen Zhuanggu pill. METHOD The sample was extracted with 75% ethanol followed by purification with polyamide column. The assay quantitative analysis was performed on a C 18 column with a mobile phase of methanol-water-glacial acetic acid (55∶45∶1), and detection wavelength at 270 nm. The determination was according to the external standard method.RESULTS Good linearity of icariin was showed within the range of 0.084~1.008μg (r = 0.999 9). The average recovery was 99.4%, and RSD was 2.2%.CONCLUSION The method is simple and accurate. It is suitable for the quality control of this preparation.
