Abstract: Background: Sekanjabin-e buzuri consisting extracts of Chicorium intybus L. (Kasni), Cuscuta chinensis
Lam. (Koshus), Apium graveolens L. (Karafs) and Pimpinella anisum L. (Anison) seeds is a Traditional
Persian Medicine product. These drugs have many applications in traditional medicine, but they are more
effective in opening vascular obstructions and related functions, especially in cardiovascular system.
Purpose: In this study we prepared a proper Sekanjabin-e buzuri and developed a HPLC method for analysis
of chlorogenic acid (CGA), as an herbal marker compound, for quality control and standardization in both
Sekanjabin-e buzuri syrup and its ingredient sources.
Methods: Sekanjabin-e buzuri is a group of oxymels that have many different formulations. A proper
formulation has chosen from literature (from Gharabadin-e-salehi) and prepared. For standardization of
Sekanjabin-e buzuri we developed a method for detecting chlorogenic acid content. A reversed phase MZ
C18 column (150*3.0 mm, 5µm) using a mixture of acetonitrile-phosphoric acid 0.1% with gradient elution
program for 20 minutes with flow rate of 1.5 ml/min with UV detection at 330 nm.
Results: The chlorogenic acid Rt =5.1 minutes and linear over the range of 0.2-1.5 µg/ml, (R2 = 0.9996).
The calculated LOD and LOQ of chlorogenic acid were 0.02 and 0.06 µg/ml, respectively. The
concentration of chlorogenic acid was 7.69, 10.37, 2.25, 2.88 and 22.86 µg/ml for Chicorium intybus L.,
Cuscuta chinensis Lam., Apium graveolens L. and Pimpinella anisum L. seeds and Sekanjabin-e buzuri
syrup, respectively.
Conclusion: This standardized Sekanjabin-e buzuri syrup will be used as a vascular opener (Mofatteh)
complementary product for opening internal organs obstruction e.g. promoting cardiovascular health.Keywords: Sekanjabin-e buzuri, chlorogenic acid, HPLC, validation
