“…The mobile phase was water and acetonitrile with a flow rate of 1.0 mL.min -1 in a linear gradient of 30%-45% acetonitrile in 30 min; column temperature was 30°C, injection volume was 20μL and detection at 210 nm (Shaw and Wilson, 1984;Ribeiro and Dias, 2002;Abbasi et al, 2005;Pichaiyongvongdee and Haruenkit, 2009;Dagulo et al, 2010). The HPLC-DAD method was validated according to international guidelines (Thompson and Wood, 2002;ICH, 2005;Magnusson and Örnemark, 2014). Calibration curve, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, precision, and accuracy were evaluated.…”
