ABSTRACT：OBJECTIVE To establish a HPLC-DAD-ELSD method for the deter mination of the content of cuscohygrinol, acetylmandelic acid and other related compounds in cuscohygrinolis α-acetylbenzoacetate. METHODS The HPLC method was conducted on a Waters symmetry C18 column（4.6 mm×150 mm, 5 μm）and coupled with ELSD and DAD detector at 219 nm. The mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.25% of pentafluoropropionic acid (contains 30 mmol·L-1 of ammonium formate), and the column temperature was at room temperature. RESULTS A good resolution was obtained among cuscohygrinol, acetylmandelic acid, cuscohygrinolis α-acetylbenzoacetate and other related compound. The linear ranges of cuscohygrinol, acetylmandelic acid and cuscohygrinolis α-acetylbenzoacetate were 0.016 32-0.163 2， 0.005 65-0.113 and 0.228 2-2.282 g·L-1, respectively. The average recovery of cuscohygrinol, acetylmandelic acid and cuscohygrinolis α-acetylbenzoacetate were 100.1%, 101.2% and 99.6% respectively. CONCLUSION A simple, accurate and sensitive HPLC-DAD-ELSD method to determine the content of cuscohygrinol, acetylmandelic acid and other related compounds in cuscohygrinolis α-acetylbenzoacetate was established.
