Abstract: Objective To establish a method for simultaneous determination of phenol and camphor in compound camphor liniment by HPLC. Methods The separation was performed on a Kromasil C18 analytical column(150 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm)with the mobile phase consisting of methanol-water(55:45).The detection wavelength was 287 nm.The flow rate was 0.8 ml/min. Results The standard curves were linear in the range of 103.4~827.2 μg/ml for phenol (r=0.999 1, n=5) and 205.1~1 640.8μg/ml(r=0.999 5, n=5)for camphor. The average recoveries of phenol and camphor were 99.61%(RSD=1.19%, n=9) and 99.83%(RSD=1.18%, n=9). Conclusion The method was simple and accurate with a good reproducibility, and could be used as a quality control method for compound camphor liniment.
