Background:
In this study, a RP - HPLC method was applied for determination of pKa value by using the dependence of the capacity factor (k) on the pH of the mobile phase for oxysophocarpine (OSP).
Findings:
The effect of the mobile phase composition on the ionization constant was studied by measuring the pKa value at different MeOH concentrations, ranging from 10 to 20% (v/v). Based on all pH - k curves plotted and pH values at inflection point calculated, experimental pKa value obtained for oxysophocarpine was 6.5.
Conclusion:
This method was successfully applied to realize low sample consumption, rapid sample throughput, high sensitivity and precision.
