Abstract
To established a novel HPLC-PAD method for the simultaneous determination of five compounds (camellianin A, camellianin B, apigenin, quercitrin, epicatechin) in leaves of Adinandra nitida. These compounds were effectively separated on a reversed-phase C18 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 10 microm) with the column temperature at 25 degrees C. The mobile phase was composed of 0.1% aqueous formic acid and methanol. The flow rate was 1.0 mL x min(-1), the detection wavelength was set at 280 nm before 15 min for detecting epicatechin and at 262 nm from 15 to 40 min for detecting the rest four compounds. All the linearities were good (r > 0.9991) within their test ranges. The established method showed good precision with overall intra-day and interday RSD values less than 3.33% and 3.2%, respectively. The average recoveries were in the range of 96.08% to 100.30% with RSD from 2.0% to 4.0%. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) in the range of ranged from 0.9 to 5.6 ng and 3.0 to 19.0 ng, respectively. This established method can be applied to evaluate the intrinsic quality of the leaves of A. nitida.
