A simple, rapid and high sensitive method for the determination of prostaglandin F_2α (C_20H_34O_5) is described.
1-bromoacetylpyrene was used as the pre-column fluorescent derivatizing reagent for high performance liquid chromatography.
PG F_2α was derivatized quantiatively into fluorescent compound by reacting with 1-bromoacetylpyrene in the presence of 18-crown-6 in acetonitrile.
The derivative was separated on a normal phase column in isocratic elution mode using the secondary mixture of chloroform and tetrahydrofuran as the mobile phase.
The effluent was monitored by fluorometer.
The calibration plots for the peak heights versus concentrations of PG F_2α were observed to he linear.
