High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method of Cinnamic Acid, Salicylic Acid and Quercetin.

Cinnamic acid and benzoic acid are two of the major phenolic acids and autotoxins. Cinnamic acid occurs naturally in all green plants, showing significant antimicrobial activity against both bacteria and fungi as well as antioxidant activity. It has the chemical formula C9H8O2.

Salicylic acid (SA) is an o-hydroxybenzoic acid, synthesized by both plants and microorganisms. SA acts as a critical plant hormone regulating various processes, including growth and development, flowering, thermogenesis, ion uptake, stomatal movement, photosynthesis, and plant immunity. It has the chemical formula C7H6O3.

Quercetin is a naturally occurring flavonol, or flavonoid, the yellowish antioxidant pigment found in skins of red grapes, berries, apples, onions, tomatoes, and buckwheat tea. In addition to functioning as a flavonoid, quercetin is also a phytoestrogen. It has the chemical formula C15H10O7.

Cinnamic acid, Salicylic acid, Quercetin, Quercetin dihydrate can be retained and separated by using a mixed-mode Newcrom B column using an isocratic analytical method with a simple mobile phase of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN), and phosphoric acid (H3PO4) buffer. UV detection at 250 nm.

Gallic acid is a naturally-occurring phenolic acid that was a key ingredient in European iron gall ink from its first discovery in the 12th century until the 19th century. In modern times, it’s heavy metal salt, Bismuth subgallate, known by its trade name Devrom, is known for its effects at deodorizing flatulence and stools. It has the chemical formula C7H6O5.

3,4 Dihydroxybenzoic acid, also known as Protocatechuic acid (PCA), is a dihydroxybenzoic acid with the chemical formula C7H6O4. It occurs naturally in stem bark of Boswellia dalzielii, leaves of Diospyros melanoxylon, Açai oil, and roselle. Commercially , it is produced of vanillin.  You can find detailed UV spectra of 3,4 Dihydroxybenzoic acid and information about its various lambda maxima by visiting the following link.

Caffeic acid is an organic compound with the formula  (HO)2C6H3CH=CHCO2H. It plays a key role in scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are generated during energy metabolism.  Caffeic acid is an active ingredient in caffenol, which is a photographic developer made from instant coffee. Pharmacologically, it is used  as an antioxidant in vitro and also in vivo. It also shows immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activity.

trans-Ferulic acid is a hydroxycinnamic acid derivative with the chemical formula C10H10O4. It is classified as a phenolic phytochemical. Naturally, it can be found in a large number of vegetables, grain, and other plants. It is also released while sweetcorn is being cooked. Salts and esters derived from ferulic acid are called ferulates.

trans-p-Coumaric acid is a major phenolic acid with the chemical formula C9H8O3. It can be found in a wide variety of graminaceous plants.  p-Coumaric acid is a natural metabolite contained in many edible plants and its antioxidant activities in reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions have been demonstrated in various experiments.

Separation of Quercetin on Newcrom R1 HPLC column

February 16, 2018
Separation of Quercetin on Newcrom C18 HPLC column

Quercetin is a flavonol found in many plants. It has a bitter flavor and is a polar auxin transport inhibitor. Quercetin can be analyzed by this reverse phase (RP) HPLC method with simple conditions. The mobile phase contains acetonitrile (MeCN), water, and phosphoric acid. For Mass-Spec (MS) compatible applications the phosphoric acid needs to be replaced with formic acid. Smaller 3 µm particle columns available for fast UPLC applications. This liquid chromatography method is scalable and can be used for isolation of impurities in preparative separation. It also suitable for pharmacokinetics.

Application Column

Newcrom R1

The Newcrom columns are a family of reverse-phase-based columns. Newcrom A, AH, B, and BH are all mixed-mode columns with either positive or negative ion-pairing groups attached to either short (25 Å) or long (100 Å) ligand chains. Newcrom R1 is a special reverse-phase column with low silanol activity.
