Objective: To develop an HPLC method with multiple wavelength ultraviolet detection for the simultaneous determination of peoniflorin,liquiritin,cinnamic acid,cinnamal and glycyrrhizic acid in Guizhi decoction.Methods:The samples were separated on a Diamond C18 column(4.6 mm×250 mm,5 μm),by a gradient elution using 0.1% phosphoric acid(A) and acetonitrile(B) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1.The eluate was detected by multiple wavelength:230 nm for peoniflorin;280 nm for liquiritin,cinnamic acid and cinnamal and 250 nm for glycyrrhizic acid.Results:The complete separation was obtained within 60 min for the five compounds(peoniflorin,liquiritin,cinnamic acid,cinnamal and glycyrrhizic acid).Five regression equations showing linear relationships between peak-area and content of each compound were obtained.The average recoveries(n=5) of the compounds listed above were 98.7%(RSD=1.4%),101.7%(RSD=2.1%),97.1%(RSD=2.4%),96.4%(RSD=2.5%),99.4%(RSD=1.9%),respectively.Conclusion:Very satisfactory and reproducible results are obtained for the simultaneous determination of the five compounds in Guizhi decoction.
