Description
General description
Ban-Lan- Gen (Banlangen or Ban Lan Gen) Granules, a famous traditional Chinese herbal medicine, is composed of isatis root. It is used to treat sore throat and dry oropharynx caused by excessive heat in the lungs and stomach. Uridine, Guanosine and Adenosine are the main active ingredients of Banlan Gen granules.
Acceptance Criteria for Standard Solution in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (ChP) monograph: Theoretical plate number calculated by peak of Uridine: NLT 10000
Analysis Note
The theoretical plate count for Uridine was 16105 (>10000) with a tailing factor of 1.16.
The method′s linear range was determined from 0.1 to 50 µg/mL with R2 between 0.9994-0.9998 for the 3 compounds. The LOD and LOQ of uridine are 0.05 µg/mL and 0.15 µg/mL respectively. The LOD and LOQ of guanosine are 0.09 µg/mL and 0.28 µg/mL respectively. LOD and LOQ of adenosine is 0.04 µg/mL and 0.13 µg/mL separately.
Reproducibilities for a 10 mg/mL standard solution were between 0.83-0.87% RSD for the compounds of interest.
