Isolation, characterization, and validation of RP-HPLC method for the quantification of quercetin in Huberantha senjiana leaf extract. Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Science. 2020 May; 2020 May: 110-1182231-3354http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/210757Huberantha senjiana (Annonaceae) – an endemic tree of Pakkamalai Reserve Forest Gingee Hills, Tamil Nadu, Indiawas subjected to preliminary phytochemical tests and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprintchromatogram was established for use in future research. Subsequently, the HPLC-DAD-ESI (+) MS analysis toidentify the common biomarkers revealed the presence of Quercetin, a polyphenolic flavonol in the ethyl acetateextract of the leaves. An isocratic reversed-phase (RP)-HPLC method for the quantification of quercetin was developedwith phenomenex, RP C18 column using mobile phase [(H2O (0.1% formic acid, A); (MeOH: ACN, (40:15v/v), B),40:60 (v/v)] with a flow rate of 0.8 ml/min, detection max at 254 nm with a retention time of 7.58 minutes and wasvalidated according to the International Conference on Harmonization Q2B guidelines. Linearity was achieved withthe concentration range of 5.0–17.5 μg/ml with a R2 value of 0.996. Sensitivity was demonstrated with the limit ofdetection of 2.28 µg/ml and the limit of quantification of 6.92 µg/ml. The robustness was estimated from purposefulchanges in the composition of the mobile phase, wavelength, and flow rate and the limits were Not More Than (NMT)4%. The foliar concentration of quercetin was found to be 0.0055% w/w. The structural confirmation was done by theisolation and characterization by the divergent spectral analysis.
