Abstract

To establish a standard of quality control for Perillae Folium (Lamiaceae Family), four standard compounds including rosmarinic acid, elemicin, perillaldehyde, and dillapiole were evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)/photodiode array (PDA). The four standards were analyzed with a Phenomenex Kinetex C18 (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) column by gradient elution using 0.1 % formic acid in water and methanol as the mobile phase. The standards were quantified by HPLC/PDA from Perillae Folium, which included the leaf and twig of Perilla frutescens L. Britton var. acuta (Thunb.) Kudo or Perilla frutescens Britton var. crispa Decne. The method was successfully used in the analysis of Perillae Folium, and the linearity, recovery, precision, accuracy, stability, and robustness were satisfactory according to the validation results. In Perillae Folium samples, the average contents (wt%) of rosmarinic acid, elemicin, perillaldehyde, and dillapiole were 0.540, 0.059, 0.050, and 0.056 %, respectively. The results indicate that the established HPLC/PDA method is suitable for the quantitation and quality evaluation of Perillae Folium.
