A method for determination of edaravone for injection by RP-HPLC was established.Kromasil C18 column was used, with acetonitrile-acetate buffer (28:72) as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min.The wavelength of detector was 240 nm.The determination of edaravone showed a good linear relationship in the range of 6-120 mg/mL (r = 0.9996).The average recovery of cinobufagin was 100.6%, and RSD was 1.4% (n = 9).The method is simple, accurate, and precise, which can be used for the assay of edaravone for injection.
