Abstract

A method for analysis of related substances in a cyclosporine A preparation is provided. Chromatographic conditions for the method are as follows: a detection wavelength: 210 nm to 230 nm; a column temperature: 50° ° C. to 60° C.; a flow rate: 0.8 mL/min to 1.5 mL/min; a mobile phase A: acetonitrile (0.085% phosphoric acid); a mobile phase B: isopropanol (0.085% phosphoric acid); and a mobile phase C: water (0.1% phosphoric acid). The method of the present disclosure can well solve problems such as interference of adjuvants and poor separation of many related substances, and also provides an effective means for formulation of quality standards for related substances in such a preparation.
