Abstract

An easy and reliable HPLC method was developed to determine allantoin in Dioscorea Rhizoma using cyano columns. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of allantoin were performed successfully by cyano columns (YMC-Pack CN column, Zorbax SB-CN column and Discovery$^{(R)}$ Cyano column). The intraday precision were 0.58 - 3.33% for YMC-Pack CN, 0.41 - 2.20 for Zorbax SB-CN and 0.45 - 1.93% Discovery$^{(R)}$ Cyano columns, while interday variations were 0.09 - 1.84%, 0.04 - 2.59% and 0.87 - 5.18% for YMC-Pack CN, Zorbax SB-CN and Discovery$^{(R)}$ Cyano columns. The recoveries of allantoin were in the range at 98.8 - 102.6% (RSD 1.1 - 1.6%) for YMC-Pack CN column, 99.7 - 110.5% (RSD 1.3 - 4.9%) for Zorbax SB-CN column, and 97.2 - 110.1% (RSD 1.8 - 5.7%) for Discovery$^{(R)}$ Cyano column. The contents of allantoin in four Dioscorea Rhizoma samples were determined by cyano columms and ranged at 4.1-7.1 mg/g dry weight. The present study indicated that HPLC method using cyano column for determining allantoin is a reliable method and this method can be applied to verify allantoin in Dioscorea Rhizoma.
