HPLC analysis of bioactive steroids from the roots of Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal (Ashwagandha)

A simple procedure was described for the determination of Withanolide A and Withanolide B in Ashwagandha root by HPLC. Separation was achieved on a Spherisorb C18 column with Water: Acetonitrile in the gradient elution. Detection was accomplished with UV detection at λ = 216 nm. Using this method, t...

Sumario:A simple procedure was described for the determination of Withanolide A and Withanolide B in Ashwagandha root by HPLC. Separation was achieved on a Spherisorb C18 column with Water: Acetonitrile in the gradient elution. Detection was accomplished with UV detection at λ = 216 nm. Using this method, the bioactive steroid in Withania somnifera was determined. Significant variations in the contents of Withanolide A and Withanolide B in Ashwagandha root growing in different locations were also observed.
