Separation of complexed semi-synthetic flavonoids by using fused core column in short time
Hydroxyethylrutosides (Troxerutin) is a standardized mixture of semi-synthetic flavonoids obtained by substituting
hydroxyethyl groups in the naturally occurring flavonol rutin. Because there are four dissociation hydroxyls in
rutin, some fifteen kinds of hydroxyethylrutins can be theoretically synthesized. The good quality of the raw material
of a drug and the finished product must include the related impurities in an analytical investigation, and this seemed
particularly important to the quality control of Troxerutin. According to the literature, it is clear that, the
chromatographic analysis of Troxerutin still problematic as its sample can be considered as a complex sample as it
contains plenty of different components. In this study, new HPLC technology named fused- core column was used to
separate the major components of Troxerutin bulk powder. Fused – Core silica stationary phases represent key
technological advancement in the area of fast HPLC separations. These phases are made by fusing 0.5 μm porous
silica. The reduced intra – particle flow path of the fused particles provides superior mass transfer kinetics and
better performance at high mobile phase velocities, while the fused – core particles provide lower pressure than sub
– 2 μm particles. arabic 13 English 77
