Simultaneous determination of oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol in rat plasma using liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection.

Oleuropein, the main glycoside present in olives, and hydroxytyrosol, the principal degradation product of oleuropein present in olive oil, have been linked to reduction of coronary heart disease and certain cancers. In the present study a direct and sensitive reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic assay was developed for simultaneous quantification of both oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol. The plasma protein was precipitated with acetonitrile, samples were then centrifuged and supernatants were dried, and reconstituted with water prior to injection. The chromatographic analysis was carried out using a phenyl column and an isocratic elution of acidified water and acetonitrile with fluorescence detection at 281 and 316 nm for excitation and emission, respectively. The calibration curve was linear and limits of quantification were 30 ng/ml and 3 microg/ml for hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein, respectively. The method has been successfully applied to monitor oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol plasma levels in the rat.[1]
