Objective:To develop a RP-HPLC method for the quantification of adenosine in Weigan Effervescent Tablets. Methods: The analysis was carried out on a Shimadzu C18 column(250 mm×4.6 mm,S-5 μm)and the mobile phase was a mitture of methanol-water(8∶92)with a flow rate of 1.0 mL· min-1.The detection wavelength was 260 nm, and the column temperature was 35 ℃. Results: The linear response ranges of adenosine was 4.3~33.8 μg(r=0.999 7), and the average recovery was 101.0%(n=9,RSD=1.4%). Conclusion: The method is quick, simple and reproducible for the determination of adenosine in Weigan Effervescent Tablets.
