Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To determine the content of total gossypol and liberation gossypol by HPLC.
METHODS The analysis was performed on a Waters Bondapak C
18 Column(3.9 mm×150 mm, 4 μm) at 25 ℃ with acetonitrile-0.7% phosphoric acid water solution(80∶20) as the mobile phase and the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min
-1. The detection wavelength was set at 238 nm.
RESULTS Gossypol have good linearity in the range of 10-60 μg·mL
-1(
r=0.999 4). The average recovery was 99.03%, RSD=1.72%(
n=3).
CONCLUSION The developed method is convenient, rapid and accurate with high repeatability, which is suitable to assay the quality of gossypol.
