To develop an HPLC method for determination of clemastanin B which has anti-viral activity in Radix Isatidis and compare the contents of clemastanin B in the drugs from different origins. The samples were separated on an ZORBAX SB-C18 (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) column with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-water (11:89). Flow rate was 1.0 mL x min(-1). The detection wavelength was set at 225 nm. Column temperature was 30 degrees C. The linear range of clemastanin B was 0.0615-1.8441 microg (r = 0.9995), the average recovery was 97.74%, RSD was 1.4% (n=9). The contents of clemastanin B were in the range of 0.269-0.900 mg x g(-1) in Radix Isatidis from different origins. The method for quantitation of clemastanin B in Radix Isatidis was accurate and reliable, which can be used to evaluate the quality of Radix Isatidis.
