Objective: The study aims to develop and validate a novel reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method for simultaneous estimation of andrographolide and aloe-emodin in herbal formulation and validate as per the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. Methods: The analysis was carried on a Shimadzu LC Prominence-i 2030 model with the Lab Solution software. The column used for separation was Prontosil C18 (250×4.6 mm, 5 μ), with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.05% orthophosphoric acid (45:55), at a flow rate of 1 ml/min, column temperature was maintained at 28°C and effluents were monitored at 225 nm. The injection volume was 10 μl. Results: The retention time of andrographolide and aloe-emodin was found to be 4.57±0.2 min and 12.29±0.2 min, respectively. The markers were resolved using linear responses that were obtained in concentration ranges of 0.5–60 μg/ml with correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.9992 and 0.999 for andrographolide and aloe-emodin, respectively. The precision results were found to be satisfactory, which indicates that the method is precise. The recovery values lie in the range of 98–120% indicating the accuracy of the method. Conclusion: A novel, simple, accurate, precise, and robust reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed for the simultaneous estimation of andrographolide and aloe-emodin. The developed method can be used for analysis of the formulations containing these phytoconstituents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
