Method development and validation of a high-performance liquid chromatographic method for pyrethrum extract

A robust analytical methodology is developed for the quantitative determination of all six insecticidal components of pyrethrum extract: jasmolin I, cinerin I, pyrethrin I, jasmolin II, cinerin II, and pyrethrin II. This method, based on the separation technique normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, offers selectivity, accuracy, precision, linearity, range, ruggedness, and robustness as well as efficiency and ease.
