Abstract
A fast capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method, using dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin (DM-β-CD) as modifier, has been developed for the determination of three flavonoids (quercetin (QU), kaempferol (KA) and isorhamnetin (IS)) in the Chinese herbal extract from Hippophae rhamnoides and its medicinal preparation (Sindacon tablet). Optimum separation was achieved with 20 mM borate buffer at pH 10.0 containing 5 mg ml −1 of DM-β-CD. The applied voltage was 15 kV and the capillary temperature was kept constant at 25 °C. Regression equations revealed linear relationships (correlation coefficients: 0.9973, 0.9992 and 0.9996) between the peak area of each compound (QU, KA and IS) and its concentration. The relative standard deviations of migration times and peak areas were <1.53 and 4.14%, respectively. The effects of several CE parameters on the resolution were studied systematically. The contents of three flavonoids in H. rhamnoides were successfully determined with 4.5 min, with satisfactory repeatability and recovery. It was also tested that the possibilities of using this method for the determination of flavonoids in Chinese medicinal preparation.
