Abstract

The present analytical study focuses on the simultaneous estimation of Aloe emodin, aloin, and emodin as chemical markers commonly found in herbal formulations using the reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method. Aloin, Aloe emodin, and emodin are active components present in Aloe species, rhubarb, and cascara. A novel method based on RP-HPLC was developed for the simultaneous estimation of these chemical markers. A Waters Alliance-e2695 chromatograph with a 150 × 4.6 mm, 3.5 µm column, a mobile phase with acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid, and methanol (20 : 50 : 30) were used for this analytical work. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min, and detection was carried out by a PDA detector with an absorption wavelength of 237 nm at an ambient temperature of 25°C. The linearity ranges for Aloe emodin, aloin, and emodin were found to be 25–150, 12.5–75, and 2.5–15 µg/mL, respectively. The mean recoveries of Aloe emodin, aloin, and emodin were within the acceptance limit (98–102%). The relative standard deviation of precision and robustness was found to be less than 2%. Forced degradation studies were carried out for chemical markers with the help of the developed RP-HPLC method, and no considerable degradants were found. The developed stability-indicating method was applied for the quantification of the three markers in the Ayurvedic formulation of Aloe vera.
