Objective: to establish a high performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC) method for the determination of acetaminophen and caffeine in infantile
aminophenolamine granules. Methods: using octadecylsilane bonded silica gel as
filler, 0.025mol/L phosphoric acid-acetonitrile (85:15), whose pH was adjusted to 3.0
by triethylamine, was used as mobile phase, the detection wavelength was 271mm,
and the injection volume was 20μL. Results: the linear ranges of paracetamopion and
caffeine were 120~2000 g/mL (r=0.9999) and 2.4~200 g/mL (r=0.9999), respectively.
The mean recovery rate of acetaminophen was 100.33%, RSD=0.56% (n=5). The
average recovery of caffeine was 102.59%, RSD=l.75% (n=5). Conclusion: the method
is simple, fast, accurate, stable and reproducible.
