A capillary zone electrophoresis method was developed for the simultaneous determination of seven phenolic acids, including protocatechuic aldehyde ( 1 ), salvianolic acid C ( 2 ), rosmarinic acid ( 3 ), salvianolic acid A ( 4 ), danshensu ( 5 ), salvianolic acid B ( 6 ), and protocatechuic acid ( 7 ), in Danshen and related medicinal plants. A running buffer composed of 20 mM sodium tetraborate adjusted to pH 9.0, and containing 12 mM β‐cyclodextrin as modifier. Baseline separation was achieved within 17 min running at the voltage of 20 kV, temperature of 25°C and detection wavelength of 280 nm. The relative standard deviations of migration time ranged from 0.2 to 0.7% and the peak area ranged from 1.5 to 3.7% for the seven analytes, indicating the good repeatability of the proposed method. The method was extensively validated by evaluating the linearity ( R 2 ≥ 0.9992), limits of detection (0.14–0.36 μg/mL), limits of quantification (0.47–1.19 μg/mL), and recovery (96.0–102.6%). Under the optimum conditions, samples of Danshen and related medicinal plants were analyzed using the developed method with high separation efficiency.
