Abstract
A rapid capillary electrophoresis procedure was developed for determining the anti-cancer components, camptothecins, in Nothapodytes foetida. The hydrophobic compound was extracted from plant tissue (ca. 1 mL of DMSO for 100mg of dried plant tissue) with a water-miscible organic solvent, DMSO, at elevated temperature (60°C). The extract was directly injected into the separation capillary (untreated fused silica, 34 cm in length, 75 μ i.d.) and analysed in MEKC mode (369 nm). Within 5 min of migration, camptothecins were successfully separated and quantified by adding organic modifiers to the running buffer (20% DMSO, 90 mM SDS in 10 mM borate buffer, pH 8.60). The linear dynamic range for camptothecin was from 5 to 400 μ/mL. This method was proven to be very suitable for monitoring the amount of camptothecins during the cultivation of the medicinal plant.
