[Simultaneous determination of peimine, peiminine and zhebeinine in Fritillaria thunbergii from different habitat by HPLC-ELSD].
OBJECTIVE
To determine peimine, peiminine and zhebeinine in Fritillaria thunbergii simultaneously by RP-HPLC-ELSD.


METHODS
The HPLC was carried out with a Waters Alliance, Model 2690, equipped with an Xterra RP18 column (3.9 mm x 150 mm, .5 microm), and evaporated light scattering detector. It was eluted gradiently with acetonitrile and 10 mmol x L(-1) NH4HCO3 (adjusted to pH 10. 10 by ammonia solution).


RESULTS
The average recovery rates (n=5) of peimine, peiminine and zhebeinine were 98.2% (RSD 1.7%), 98.2% (RSD 2.2%), 96.5% (RSD 1.3%) respectively.


CONCLUSIONS
The method is simple, sensitive and reliable. It can be used for quantitative determination of F. thunbergii.
