Stability<br />

The stock solutions of the five active ingredients were<br />

found to be stable at room temperature based on the<br />

peak area of the five active ingredients over the time<br />

range of 0 to 24 h. (Table 2).<br />

Simultaneously determine five active ingredients<br />

HPLC incorporating UV detector was employed to<br />

simultaneously determine the five active ingredients in<br />

dried calyces of P. alkekengi were collected in six<br />

provinces of China. The powdered calyces were treated<br />

as in the “Sample preparation” section. The results<br />

indicated the variation of the five active ingredients in the<br />

calyces from different locations (Table 3). According to<br />

the Pharmacopoeia of PRC, the samples were qualified<br />

except the sample of s03 which have been collected from<br />

Xinchun, indicating that Luteoloside in relatively stable in<br />

the calyces.<br />

However, according to the overall contents. The sample<br />

s49 which been collected from Yangmadianzixiang<br />

contained the five active ingredients was the highest in all<br />

samples. According to the Table 3 the Luteolin, Physalin<br />

P and Physalin O had low levels and instability. Physalin<br />

A had high content and stability and it was the unique<br />

ingredients in the calyces. So we can establish the quality<br />

standards of the calyces that determined content of<br />

Physalin A.<br />

Conclusion<br />

A simple HPLC method was developed for the<br />

simultaneous determination the five active ingredients in<br />

dried calyces of P. alkekengi. The linearity, recovery and<br />

stability of the developed method were validated,<br />

respectively. From the results of this study, we know that<br />

the contents of the five active ingredients in the calyces<br />

major varied from different locations. In a word, the<br />

results can be taken as the evidence for the exploitation<br />

and utilization of the calyces reasonably.<br />
