Abstract:

For the first time, we have utilized high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to simultaneously quantify the eugenol and bancroftione in Caryophylli Fructus. The optimized parameters included: Inertsil ODS-4 column (150 mm×4.6 mm, 5 µm); column temperature: 35 ºC; mobile phase: methanol-water (65:35, v/v); flow rate: 1.0 mL/min; detection wavelength: 280 nm. Eugenol and bancroftione showed good linear relationships with peak areas within the range of (0.0998-0.8982) mg/mL (r = 0.9999) and (0.1474-1.3266) mg/mL (r = 0.9999), respectively. The average recoveries were 102.52% and 100.96% for eugenol and bancroftione, respectively. Our results showed that the established method is simple, rapid, and accurate with good reproducibility to evaluate the quality of Caryophylli Fructus.
