Abstract

A simple and sensitive high performance liquid chromatographic method to quantitate ursodeoxycholic acid in crude drug pharmaceuticals was investigated. Ursodeoxycholic acid react with 2-bromoacetyl-6-methoxynaphthalene (Br-AMN) in the presence of triethylamine to form highly fluorescent derivative. The derivatization procedure was performed at 7$0^{\circ}C$ and completed within 30 min. The optimal wavelength of the fluorescence detector are λ$_{ex}$=300 nm and λ$_{em}$ = 460 nm. The LOD of the ursodeoxycholic acid was 25 ng/mι based on the S/N =3, and the LOQ was 80 ng/mι based on S/N = 10. Crude drug pharmaceuticals pretreated by solid phase extraction (Sep-pak $C_{18}$ cartridge) which were shown very good separation and recovery values for the compound.d.
