摘要：Central composite design(CCD),together with multiple linear regression,was successfully used to optimize the electrophoretic buffer system of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography(MEKC) for the determination of albiflorin,paeoniflorin,liquiritin,and glycyrrhizic acid in the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) prescription,yangwei *** of sodium deoxycholate(SDC) and borate,and proportions of ammonia,acetonitrile,and methanol were *** total resolutions of peaks between the analytes and their adjacent peaks in real samples were integrated into the evaluation index of separation *** optimum electrophoretic buffer contained 80 mmol/L SDC,20 mmol/L borate,5%(v/v) methanol,0.5%(v/v) ammonia,and 5%(v/v) *** correlation coefficients(R 2 ) between the peak areas and the corresponding concentrations of analytes were greater than *** limits of detection(LODs) (S/N=3) of the analytes were 0.97-4.00μg/*** results indicate the superiority of CCD in optimizing the separation conditions of complex samples such as TCM prescriptions.
