AI Article Synopsis

  • A new method was developed for analyzing jatrophone in "cachaça" using high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV).
  • The method showed a linear analytical curve for jatrophone concentrations ranging from 16.24 to 81.20 microg ml(-1), indicating reliability.
  • Recovery rates were high (98.99-99.89%) and the variation in quantitative analysis was low (under 2%), demonstrating the method's accuracy and precision.

Article Abstract

A method for sample preparation and analysis by high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV) was developed for analysis of jatrophone in "cachaça" prepared with Jatropha elliptica, administered orally, employed in Brazil for the treatment of venomous snake bites. The linearity, accuracy, precision of the procedure was evaluated. Analytical curve for jatrophone was linear in the range of 16.24-81.20 microg ml(-1). The recovery of the jatrophone in the samples analyzed was 98.99-99.89%. The percent coefficient of variation for the quantitative analysis of the "cachaça" in the analyses was under 2%.
