Jk. Bastos et al., QUANTITATIVE-DETERMINATION OF PODOPHYLLOTOXIN AND RELATED-COMPOUNDS IN PODOPHYLLUM SPECIES BY REVERSE-PHASE HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY, Phytochemical analysis, 6(2), 1995, pp. 101-105
A rapid sensitive and reliable reverse phase high performance liquid c
hromatography method was developed using a Taxsil(R) column and gradie
nt elution for the routine determination of podophyllotoxin and six re
lated compounds, epipodophyllotoxin, alpha-peltatin, beta-peltatin, 4'
-demethylpodophyllotoxin, podophyllotoxin-4-O-glycoside, and 1,2,3,4-d
ehydradesoxypodophyllotoxin in Podophyllum extracts. The elaborated me
thod gave well resolved peaks for these compounds with good detection
response and linearity in the range 25-450 ng.
