Abstract:Objective: An HPLC method was established for the determination of evodin, evodiamine and rutaecarpine in Evodia rutaecarpa and the processed product. Method: RP-HPLC method was established with an Agilent C18 column (4.6 mm ×250 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was acetonitrile and water (45 ∶55). The detective wavelength was at 225 nm. Result: There were obvious differences of the content of three components in E. rutaecarpa and the processed product. Conclusion: The different processing methods have certain effect on the content of evodin, evodiamine and rutaecarpine. It can provide evidence for the clinical use.
