Objective: To develop an HPLC method for simultaneous determination of six sesquiterpenes (curdione
curcumol
germacrone
curzerene
furanodiene
β-elemene) in Oleum Curcumae. Method: HPLC was performed on an Agilent Extend Cl8 analytical column (4.6 mm × 250 mm
5 μm) with gradient elution (0-20 min
30%-65% A
40%-30% B
21-30 min
65% A
30% B)of acetonitrile (A) - methanol (B) - water (C) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1. The column temperature was maintained at 30 ℃. Detection wavelength was 216 nm. Result: The six sesquiterpenes had good linearity with correlation coefficient > 0.999
ranging from 43.72-2 186
44.37-2 219
15.49-774.4
28.30-1 415
40.13-2 007 ng and 16.74-837.0 ng respectively. The average recoveries were between 98.46%-103.9%
repeatability experiments showed that RSD values of their contents were less than 1.29%. Conclusion: The developed method is rapid
accurate with high repeatability and stability
which is helpful to control the quality of Oleum Curcumae.
