Some Boraginaceous roots contain red colored pigments, alkannin and sh
ikonin, which are used in therapy as well as in food and textile indus
try. For the quantitative analysis of these enantiomeric naphthaquinon
e derivatives, a cellolose carbamate based chiral column (Chiralcel OD
) on HPLC was used by using hexane/2-propanol (90:10) as mobile system
. The method was applied to determine the alkannin and shikonin conten
ts of the roots of eighteen Boraginaceous plants and results were also
compared with those of the LiChrospher RP-18 column.
