A simple, sensitive and precise reversed phase HPLC-DAD method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of six main flavonoidsscutellarein 7-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside, hispidulin 7-O-beta-d-glucuronopyranoside, apigenin 7-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside, hispidulin 7-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside, luteolin and apigenin. All standard compounds showed a good linearity (R-2>0.999) in a relatively wide concentration range (1-120 mu g/ml). The limit of detection of the compounds was in the range of 0.016-1.883 mu g/ml and the limit of quantification was in the range of 0.232-3.368 mu g/ml. The recoveries of the selected compounds were calculated in the range of 92.20-107.93\%. The amounts of flavonoids showed variation in the extracts. The developed method was found to be accurate, precise, reproducible, and can be successfully applied to identify and quantify the flavonoid composition of Scutellaria species.
