Abstract:
The aim of this study was to establish an easy and accurate method for the determination of Brazilein in plant samples due to its potential pharmacological activities. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with electrochemical detection (ED) was used for the assay of Brazilein in this study for the first time. Crucial influence parameters including concentration of dodecane-1-sulfonic acid sodium salt (DSASS), inorganic modifier, tetrabutyl-ammonium hydroxide solution (TBAOH), and applied potential of proposed method were investigated. The proposed method is simple, rapid (analysis time: approximately 10 min), sensitive [(detection limit: 0.6 ng per injection (20 microl) at a signal-noise ratio 3:1)], highly selective and precise (intra- and inter-day precisions were within 5%, n = 7). The calibration graph of Brazilein was linear in the range 0.6-150 ng per injection 20 microl. Recovery of Brazilein was over 92% by standard addition method.
