Quantification of tagitinin C in Tithonia diversifolia by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography

Abstract

A simple, rapid and reliable reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of tagitinin C, an anti-plasmodial sesquiterpene lactone isolated from the aerial parts of Tithonia diversifolia, has been developed. The assay has been used to quantify tagitinin C in various extracts of the aerial parts of T. diversifolia. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
