Abstract:Objective:To establish a method to determine the contents of asenosine in different species of Rehmannia glutinosa.Method:The contents were determined by HPLC,with a colunm of KYWG-C18 as stationary phase,6% ace tonitrile as mobile phase and detecting wavelength at 260nm.Result:Adenosine has a good linearity in the range of 0.002mg/ml~0.01mg/ml,Y=1.7742×10-4+8.9021×10-7X,r=0.9995.The average recovery is 94.1% and RSD=1.86% (n=5).Conclusion:The method is fast,reliable and simple.
