Abstract

A simple reversed phase HPLC method was established for quantitative determination of liquiritigenin (1), genistein (2), isoliquiritigenin (3), and 7-hydroxyflavanone (4) from stems of Spatholobus suberectus Dunn (Leguminosae) using a binary gradient of $H_2O$ and MeOH as a mobile phase with UV detection at 280 nm. All calibration curves showed good linear regression ($r^2$ > 0.998) within test ranges. The detection limits of the four compounds were $0.43{\sim}1.63{\mu}g/mL$. The contents of four flavonoids (1 - 4) from the stem of S. suberectus were 6.54 mg/g, 1.66 mg/g, 6.65 mg/g, and 1.93 mg/g, respectively.
