Summary
A capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method was developed for the simultaneous assay of three bioactive components—baicalin, chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid—in seven traditional Chinese medicinal preparations. The analytes were separated successfully within 3.5 min using 10 mM borate buffer (pH8.6). Regression equations revealed linear relationships (correlation coefficients 0.9942–0.9996) between the peak area and concentration of the three analytes. The relative standard deviations of the migration times and the peak areas of the three constituents were 1.12–2.68% and 1.62–5.73%, respectively. Recovery of the three constituents ranged from 89 to 107%. The extraction efficiencies of different extraction solutions are also discussed. The contents of the three components in seven different Chinese medicinal preparations containing Honeysuckle flower and/orScutellariae radix were determined by the CZE method with satisfactory results.
