Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic and progressive brain disorder and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor is an important way of treating AD. High-temperature liquid chromatography (HTLC) is a green analytical tool that can be applied to achieve rapid separation of compounds with fewer organic solvents. In this study, a method to separate AChE inhibitors based on HTLC was established. AChE inhibitors were rapidly separated in 7.50 min with 10 % EtOH solvent by utilizing a combination of gradient temperature and gradient flow rate. The method showed satisfactory linearity (R^2 > 0.990). For the three selected inhibitors, limits of detection (LOD) ranged from 0.20 to 1.35 microg/mL, and limits of quantification (LOQ) from 0.78 to 4.51 microg/mL. Stability tests showed no significant degradation over 30 days at 4 degreesC, with variations in peak areas within +/-5 %. Precision studies yielded intra-day and inter-day RSDs below 2 %. No significant change was observed between 70 and 200 degreesC, confirming no thermal degradation during HTLC analysis. These results demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of the method as a tool for scientific research. It highlights the effectiveness in separating AChE inhibitors, while also contributing to the advancement of green chemistry methodologies.
