title: [Simultaneous determination of four alisols in Rhizoma Alismatis by RP-HPLC].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To develop an HPLC method for the determination of alisol A, alisol F, alisol A 24-acetate and alisol B 23-acetate in the rhizome of Alisma orientalis.
  
  
  METHODS
  The separation was performed on a Shim-Pack CLC-ODS a C18 column (6 mm x 150 mm, 5 microm) eluted with the mobile phases of acetonitrile (A)-water (B) in gradient elution. The absorbance was monitored at 210 nm. Orthogonal test was adopted to optimize the extraction conditions of the four alisols.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The correlation coefficients of the four alisols were higher than 0.999 and the average recoveries were 99.23%, 96.67%, 97.30% and 99.61%, respectively. All the RSDs were less than 3%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The validation data demonstrated that the method was accurate and repeatable, and can be used to measure the four alisols in Rhizoma Alismatis.
