2-Bromoacetyltriphenylene 유도체화제를 이용한 카르복실기 함유성분의 분석법(III) 감초중 glycyrrhetinic acid의 HPLC에 의한 분리정량

HPLC Determination of Carboxyl Group using 2-Bromoacetyltriphenylene as Pre-labeling Reagent(III) Separative determination of glycyrrhetinic acid contained in licorice powder

A high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of glycyrrhetinic acid contained in licorice powder. Glycyrrhetinic acid which is hydrolysate of glycyrrhizin extracted from licorice powder, was determined with good result by HPLC, using 2-bromoacetyltriphenylene labeling reagent. The glycyrrhetinic acids were labeled with 2-bromoacetyltriphenylene in acetonitrile using 18-crown-6-ether and KOH as a catalyst. Derivatized glycyrrhetinic acids were separated from the extracted licorice powder on a reversed-phase column (chemopak C18) using 100% acetonitrile as a mobile phase and monitored by an UV-detector at 268nm. Linearity of calibration curve was obtained between 5ng and 20ng, and the lower limit of detection was 2ng. The recovery of glycyrrhetinic acid to licorice powder was about 99.3%. This method was sensitive, reliable and useful for, determination of glycyrrhetinic acid.
