Abstract:
A method for simultaneous determination of ginkgotoxin (4'-O-methylpyridoxin), ginkgotoxin-5'-glucoside, and vitamin B 6 compounds in Ginkgo biloba seeds, has been developed by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescent detection. Satisfactory separation was accomplished on a C 18 reversed-phase column by gradient elution with potassium phosphate containing sodium 1-pentanesulfonate (pH 2.5)-acetonitrile within 20 min. The linearity of the calibration curves for ginkgotoxin and ginkgotoxin-5'-glucoside ranged from 0.1 pmol to 10 pmol per injection, and the detection limit was 0.025 pmol (SN=5). Hot water extracts of raw, canned, and plastic packaged Ginkgo biloba seeds obtained in Japan were analyzed by using this method.Keywords: Ginkgotoxin; Ginkgotoxin‐5′‐glucoside; Ginkgo biloba seeds; HPLC; Fluorescence detection
