OBJECTIVE: To develop an HPLC-ELSD method for simultaneous determination of Astragaloside IV Astragaloside I, Astragaloside II, Astragaloside III and Isostragaloside II in Astragali Radix and Jinqi Jiangtang tablet. METHODS: The chromatographic conditions were as follows: Grace Apollo C18 column (250 mm x 4. 6 mm, 5 µm), acetonitrile (A) and water(B) as mobile phases for gradient elution, and the flow rate being 1. 0 mL/min. RESULTS: Five components showed good linearity. The average recoveries were between 95% - 105%. Five Astragalosides were determined in twelve batches of Astragali Radix and ten batches of Jinqi Jiangtang tablet. CONCLUSION: This is a specific, sensitive and simple method for simultaneous determination of Astragaloside IV, Astragaloside I Astragaloside II, Astragaloside III and Isostragaloside II in Astragali Radix and Jinqi Jiangtang tablet.
