A new HPLC-DAD method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous analysis of five flavonoids (rutin, quercitrin, quercetin, kaempferol, and isorahamnetin) in rat plasma. Sample pretreatment consisted of a liquid–liquid extraction. The five flavonoids was separated on a kromasil C18 column and recorded at 350 nm. The greatest resolution was achieved with methanol-0.1% formic acid grad...

The aim of this study was to optimize the preparation process of baicalin-β-cyclodextrin inclusion compound (baicalin-β-CD) by adopting Response Surface Methodology (RSM). On the basis of the single-factor experiment, the conditions of the inclusion process were optimized by adopting RSM with the factors to be investigated (i.e. the proportion of β-CD and baicalin, inclusion time and inclusion ...
