Abstract
A CE method employing capacitively coupled contactless conductivity (C(4)D) compared to indirect UV-detection was developed for the analysis of phytochemically relevant flavonoids, such as 6-hydroxyflavone, biochanin A, hesperetin and naringenin. To ensure fast separation at highest selectivity, sensitivity and peak symmetry, the pH value and the concentration of the running BGE had to be optimized regarding both co- and counter-EOF mode. Optimum conditions were found to be 1.0 and 5.0 mM chromate BGE (pH 9.50) in the counter- and co-EOF mode, respectively. Validation of the established CE-C(4)D method pointed out to be approximately seven times more sensitive compared to indirect UV-detection applying the same conditions. The lower LOD defined at an S/N of 3:1 was found between 0.12 and 0.21 microg/mL for the analytes of interest using C(4)D and between 0.77 and 1.20 microg/mL using indirect UV-detection. Compared to an earlier published CE method employing direct UV-detection, C(4)D was found to be approximately two times more sensitive. Due to the lower baseline noise, C(4)D showed an excellent regression coefficient >0.99 compared to 0.93 when using indirect UV detection calibrating within a concentration range between 1 and 10 microg/mL. The influence of the sugar moiety on the conductivity of a flavonoid was studied upon the analysis of the aglycon hesperetin and the rutinosid hesperidin. The sugar moiety in hesperedin shows a higher conductivity compared to hesperetin. Finally, the optimized established CE-C(4)D method was applied to the determination and quantification of naringenin in Sinupret.

Abstract
A capillary zone electrophoresis method was developed for fingerprint determination of allantoic fluid in specific pathogen free (SPF) embryonated chicken eggs. The effects of some crucial parameters, such as buffer type, pH, wavelength and running voltage on the separation were studied systematically. The components of the allantoic fluid were well separated using a fused-silica uncoated capillary with an effective length of 50 cm and an internal diameter of 50 microm. One hundred millimolars sodium tetraborate buffer containing 20 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate with a final pH 9.8 was used as a running buffer. Comparative fingerprints of allantoic fluid in normal and infected with infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) SPF embryonated chicken eggs were also evaluated. The results showed that there were significant differences between composition of normal allantoic fluid and allantoic fluid infected with IBV, which led to different migration behavior. This method was shown to be stable and reproducible with a relative standard deviation of less than 5% for both migration time and peak current.

Abstract
A simple and accurate liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for determination and in vivo pharmacokinetic studies of vitexin rhamnoside in rat plasma. After protein precipitation using methanol, the analytes were separated by a Luna C(18) column with an isocratic elution and analyzed by mass spectrometry in multiple reaction monitoring mode using the respective negative ion at m/z 577.2-293.0 for vitexin rhamnoside and m/z 593.2-413.0 for internal standard (IS) vitexin glucoside. The method was validated systematically within the concentration range 5-5000 microg/L (R > 0.996) and the lower limit of quantitation was 5 microg/L. Acceptable precision and accuracy were acquired for concentrations over the standard curve range. It was further applied to assess pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of vitexin rhamnoside after intravenous and oral administration to rats. The oral bioavailability of vitexin rhamnoside was only 3.57%, which indicated that vitexin rhamnoside had poor absorption or underwent extensive first-pass metabolism. Practical utility of this new LC/MS/MS method was confirmed in pilot pharmacokinetic studies in rats following both intravenous and oral administration.

Abstract
Advantages of CZE such as high efficiency, low cost, short analysis time, and easy implementation result in its wide applications for analysis of phytochemical bioactive compounds (e.g. flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolic acid, saponins, anthraquinones and coumarins). However, several aspects, including sample preparation, separation, and detection have significant effects on CZE analysis. Therefore, optimization of these procedures is necessary for development of the method. In this review, sample preparation such as extraction method and preconcentration, separation factors including buffer type, concentration and pH, additives, voltage and temperature, as well as detection, e.g. direct and indirect UV detection, LIF and MS were discussed for optimization of CZE analysis on phytochemical bioactive compounds. The optimized strategies were also reviewed.

Abstract
The on-line combination of CZE with capillary ITP (ITP-CZE) was used for the separation and quantification of selected flavonoids and phenolic acids in Hypericum perforatum leaves and flowers collected in six different localities in Slovakia. The leading electrolyte in the ITP preseparation step was 10 mM HCl with Tris as counterion (pH* 7.2). The terminating electrolyte was 50 mM boric acid of pH* 8.2 (adjusted with barium hydroxide). The BGE in the electrophoretic step contained 25 mM beta-hydroxy-4-morpholinopropanesulfonic acid (MOPSO), 50 mM Tris, 65 mM boric acid, pH* 8.3. The content of methanol in all electrolytes was 20% v/v. The total time of the analysis (including the preseparation step) was approximately 35 min. The rectilinear calibration ranges were between 0.125 and 5.0 microg/mL with kaempferol as internal standard. The correlation coefficients ranged between 0.9912 (for quercitrin and chlorogenic acid) and 0.9988 (for isoquercitrin). The RSD values are between 0.86 and 7.78% (n = 6) when determining rutin and quercetin (4 microg/mL). The optimized method was employed for the assay of flavonoids in medicinal plant extract of different collections of Hypericum perforatum haulm. The variability of the content of the active components depending on the place of collection was confirmed.

Abstract
A fast RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous separation of eleven main flavonoid aglycones in food samples was developed. Flavonoids were divided in three groups according to their hydrophobicity and were resolved by a ternary gradient elution and diode array detection within analysis times less than 15 min. The detection limits of the flavonoids studied were in the range between 0.04 and 0.31 microg/mL, with repeatabilities values between 0.4 and 5%. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of these compounds in complex natural samples, like propolis and Ginkgo biloba.

Abstract
A reverse-flow micellar electrokinetic chromatographic (RF-MEKC) method was developed for the simultaneous qualitative determination of 10 components consisting of the flavonol glycosides, rutin and quercitrin, the flavonol aglycones, isorhamnetin, kaempferol and quercetin, the terpene trilactones, ginkgolides A, B, C and J and the sesquiterpene, bilobalide. This method was used to fingerprint Ginkgo biloba solid oral dosage forms and validated for the quantitation of the marker compounds, rutin and quercetin in some commercial products. In addition to the usual variables, the influence of some essential background electrolyte (BGE) components such as sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and <beta>-cyclodextrin concentrations were investigated. A polyimide fused-silica square capillary column (75 microm I.D. x 360 microm O.D.) with a total length of 60.0 cm and effective length of 45.0 cm was used for the separation. The final BGE consisted of 20 mM phosphoric acid, 40 mM SDS and 12 mM <beta>-cyclodextrin (pH 2.2) using reverse polarity with a voltage of -17.5 kV. Samples were injected electrokinetically at -5 kV for 3 s for the qualitative analysis and hydrodynamically at 20 mbar for 0.6 s for the quantitative assay. The total run time was 22 min and the limits of detection were 3.13 microg/ml and 1.88 microg/ml for rutin and quercetin, respectively. Fingerprint profiles of the solid oral dosage forms and the results of the quantitative analysis indicated that there were major discrepancies in the marker content between products and illustrates the value of this method for use as a procedure to assess product quality of commercially available Ginkgo biloba products.

Abstract
Genista tenera is endemic to the Portuguese island of Madeira, where an infusion of the aerial parts of the plant is used in folk medicine as an antidiabetic agent. Consequently the medicinal properties of the secondary metabolites of this plant have been the subject of an ongoing study. A recently reported LC-MS method using a 100 min separation allowed identification of five flavonoid components in an extract of the aerial parts of this plant. In order to obtain additional information on the range and complexity of the plant's secondary metabolite components a CE-MS method has been developed and applied for the analysis of an extract of G. tenera. Twenty-six different components are distinguished in an analysis time of only 10 min. Results demonstrate that CE-MS/MS rapidly generates data complementary to those obtainable by LC-MS/MS and is particularly suited to the analysis of plant metabolites where concentration is not limiting.

Abstract
Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco (Cupressaceae), a traditional Chinese herb and food additive, has been used for treatments of gout, rheumatism, diarrhoea and chronic tracheitis. To evaluate the quality of P. orientalis (L.) Franco, a sensitive, simple and accurate reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) separation method with a photodiode array detector (DAD) was developed for the determination of four main bioactive flavonoids, rutin, quercitrin, quercetin and amentoflavone. Separation of the four compounds was achieved by the HPLC assay (Agilent Eclipse XDB-C 18 column with mobile phase, methanol-acetonitrile-18 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 3.5) and recorded at UV 356 nm). This method showed good linear relation in the range of 0.8-80 microg/ml for rutin, 1.84-184 microg/ml for quercitrin, 0.72-72 microg/ml for quercetin and 0.72-72 microg/ml for amentoflavone. The correlation coefficients of the calibration curve for the analysis were all higher than 0.999. In addition, the contents of those four flavonoids in P. orientalis (L.) Franco growing in 12 different locations in China were compared to establish the effectiveness of the method.

Abstract
A general method based on capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection (CE-ED) was developed for identification and determination of five flavonoids (kaempferol, apigenin, myricetin, quercetin and luteolin) in plant species. Running buffer, pH and concentration, separation voltage, injection time and detection potential were investigated to acquire the optimum conditions. The working electrode was a 500 microm diameter carbon disc electrode positioned opposite the outlet of capillary. At room temperature, the five flavonoids could be well separated within 21 min in a 60 cm length capillary at a separation voltage of 19.5 kV with 50 mM Na2B4O7-100 mM NaH2PO4 (pH 8.50) as the running buffer. The relationship between peak currents and analyte concentrations was linear over about two orders of magnitude, and the detection limits (S/N=3) were ranging from 0.12 to 0.21 microg/ml for all analytes. The optimized CE-ED method was employed to analyze the above flavonoids in different parts of Portulaca oleracea L.

Abstract
In this paper, novel capillary electrophoresis (CE) methods, which used ionic liquids (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazoium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazoium tetrafluoroborate), were established to separate and determine some bioactive flavone derivatives in Chinese herb Seriphidium santolinum (Schrenk) Poljak. In order to investigate the traits of ionic liquids in CE, borate was also used as electrolyte to compare with. And the excellence of CE, which used ionic liquids as main running electrolyte and beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) as modifier, was illuminated as well. As a result of the study, the difference of ionic liquids and borate in CE was discussed and the advantage of CE, which used ionic liquids as electrolytes for separation, was shown. The analysis was obtained within short time (5-6 min). From the result, it was found that the system, which used ionic liquids, was robust because the joule heating was small. The method of CE, which used ionic liquids, has lower detection limits (0.137-0.642 microg/mL) than that of borate (0.762-1.036 microg/mL). And the CE, which used ionic liquids method, has lower limit of linear range (1.100-2.656 microg/mL), while that of CE, which used borate method, was 2.188-5.313 microg/mL.

Abstract
Room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) are liquids that are constituted entirely of ions and can provide a solvent environment quite unlike any other available at room temperature. They continue to attract considerable interest in the chemistry research community as they are good solvents for a wide range of both inorganic and organic materials. In this study, a CZE method has been established for resolving natural flavonoids, quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin in the Chinese herbal extract from Hippophae rhamnoides and its medicinal preparation (Sindacon Tablet). In this method, 1-alkyl-3-methyl-imidazolium-based ILs are used as the additive, and the effects of the alkyl group, imidazolium counterion (anionic part), along with the concentration of IL are investigated and discussed. Baseline separation, high efficiencies and symmetrical peaks of the three flavonoids were obtained. The separation mechanism seems to be the hydrogen-bonding interaction between the imidazolium cations of IL and the flavonoids.

Abstract
Flavonoids are an important group of natural compounds, which can prevent coronary heart disease and have antioxidant properties. Hawthorn is a well known and widely used medicinal plant due to its cardiotonic activity. Previous studies refer mostly to the HPLC analysis of the flavonoids: vitexin, quercetin, hyperoside, oligomeric procyanidins, which appear to be primarily responsible for the cardiac action of the plant. Aqueous ethanolic extracts of single-styled hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna Jacq., f.: Rosaceae Juss.) leaves and sprouts were analyzed by means of capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). Influence of vegetation period on the extract qualitative composition and flavonoids quantities was evaluated. Sample preparation by extraction using different concentration of aqueous ethanol (40-96%, v/v) and the influence of extractant composition on the recovery of flavonoids are discussed in detail. The results obtained using CZE are compared to the results of spectrophotometric and HPLC analysis of the extracts. The effect of storage conditions of extracts (solar irradiation, temperature and duration) on degradation of flavonoids was investigated.

Abstract
We aimed to determine: 1) the concentration of polyphenols in Spanish red wines, 2) the vasodilatory properties of those wines in relation with their polyphenol concentrations and 3) the vasodilation induced by some of these polyphenols in rat aortic rings. In the wines studied the concentration of rutin and kaempferol was high compared with other polyphenols. All wines relaxed precontracted rat aortic rings and this effect was directly related with the concentration of myricetin and kaempferol in the wines. Kaempferol and rutin also induced endothelium-dependent and independent relaxation, kaempferol was more potent. This relaxation was not inhibited by the estrogen receptor alpha antagonist ICI 182,760. Kaempferol also potentiated the endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by acetylcholine, which was reversed by Nw-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME). These findings show a good correlation between the concentration of polyphenols (especially kaempferol) of Spanish red wines and the vasodilatory effect, which may confer on them unique features in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
In this work the separation of eighteen flavonoids was attempted using reduced-flow micellar elektrokinetic chromatography (RF-MEKC) electrolytes modified by selected solvents with differing properties: methanol (MeOH), acetonitrile (ACN) and tetrahydrofuran (THF). Structural aspects such as unsaturation of the C ring, number and position of OH groups, methylation and glycosylation as well as solvent effects and their impact on the electrophoretic behavior of flavonoids were addressed. By evaluating the electropherograms obtained from mixture-designed electrolytes and searching for changes in the critical pairs, a favorable separation condition was achieved using 20 mmol/L phosphate buffer at pH 2.5 containing 50 mmol/L sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 15% ACN and 5% THF (one critical pair) in less than 12 min with 1.5% coefficient of variation (CV) for retention factor and 3% CV for peak area (n = 5). The applicability of the proposed separation condition was demonstrated by the inspection of flavonoids in herbal extracts of Neem.

Abstract
A novel method based on reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with chemiluminescence detection has been developed for the simultaneous determination of three flavonols including quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin. The procedure was based on the chemiluminescent enhancement by flavonols of the cerium(IV)-rhodamine 6G system in sulfuric acid medium. The effects of several parameters on the HPLC resolution and CL emission were studied systematically. Good separation was achieved with isocratic elution using a mixture of methanol and aqueous 1.0% acetic acid (37:63, v/v) within 25 min. Under optimized conditions, the linear working range covers 3 orders of magnitude with relative standard deviations below 4.5% for 11 replicate injected flavonol samples, and detection limits (S/N= 3) were 1.6 x 10(-8), 3.5 x 10(-9), and 6.5 x 10(-9) g mL(-1) for quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin, respectively. The chemiluminescence reaction was compatible with the mobile phase of high-performance liquid chromatography. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of three active flavonols in phytopharmaceuticals of Hippophae rhamnoides L. After a simple extraction procedure, the repeatability and recovery were satisfactory.

Abstract
An NP-HPLC method both with diode-array (DAD) and electrochemical detection (ED) was developed and validated for the determination of quercetin and kaempferol, the principal active constituents in phytopharmaceuticals of Ginkgo Biloba. Calculated retention of the two flavonoids was contrasted with experimental values in five different reversed phase columns for methanol-water, acetonitrile-water, THF-water and dioxane-hexane binary mixtures as mobile phases. The capacity factor k, selectivity alpha and asymmetry factor F were evaluated and compared in DAD-RP-HPLC, DAD-NP-HPLC, ED-RP-HPLC and ED-NP-HPLC. The methods were used for the quantitative analysis of acid hydrolyzed extracts of tablet phytopharmaceuticals. Calibration curves were linear within the range 10 and 40 microg ml(-1) for the DAD and 10-270 microg ml(-1) for the ED, whereby limits of detection ranged from 0.5 microg ml(-1) (quercetin) to 0.1 microg ml(-1) (kaempferol). The electrochemical method based on differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) with a C-PVC electrode resolved the quercetin and kaempferol peaks and exhibited a two orders higher sensitivity in comparison with a carbon fiber electrode. DPV calibration curves were linear within the range 96-300 microg ml(-1) for quercetin and 68-960 microg ml(-1) for kaempferol. The respective oxidation peaks appeared at 462 and 518+/-2 mV and were used in the direct determination of quercetin in extracts of commercial phytopharmaceuticals.

Abstract
The root extracts of goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis L.) are popular phytomedicines for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders and upper respiratory tract infections. Here we describe a simple and fast capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method with ultraviolet detection at 225 nm for the quantification of the major goldenseal constituents, berberine and hydrastine, in herbal remedies containing goldenseal root extracts. Tritoqualine, an antihistaminic drug with a hydrastine-like phthalidisoquinoline structure, was applied as an internal standard. The running buffer was a 1:5 mixture of 500 mM ammonium acetate (adjusted to pH 3.4 with acetic acid) and methanol. Our newly developed CZE method was validated regarding limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification, linearity, accuracy and precision. For both berberine and hydrastine, the LOD was 1.0 microg/mL and the linearity was obtained between 2.5 and 500 microg/mL. Using our newly developed method, both the alkaloids could be analysed in herbal remedies containing goldenseal root extracts within 8 min.

Abstract
Flavonoids are an important bioactive group in the commonly used herbal medicine Flos Lonicerae. A new method of capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) coupled with solid-phase extraction (SPE) was developed for simultaneous assay of flavonoid aglycones and glycosides in Flos Lonicerae. Optimum CZE separation was achieved with a background electrolyte (BGE) solution consisting of 80 mM boric acid and 20 mM phosphate acid, adjusted to pH 8.1, with 15% acetonitrile (v/v) added, and applying a separation voltage of 28 kV. The SPE method was used for pretreating the complex matrix of botanical materials and good reproducibility was obtained when avicularin was used as internal standard. Linearity of the method was excellent with correlation coefficients (r2) in the range of 0.9995-0.9999 and detection limits were lower than 0.6 microg/mL for the four flavonoids. The obtained recoveries varied between 93 to 104% while the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were below 4.4% (n=3). The developed CZE method was successfully used for the separation of eight flavonoids and the quantification of the four flavonoids in five species of Flos Lonicerae.

Abstract
A liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS) method based on time-of-flight (TOF) MS with polarity switching and continuous exact mass measurement using a LockSpray ion source was developed for fast evaluation of the total flavonoid content in plants and foodstuffs. No complicated sample preparation was needed, but only a dilution of the extracts. A fast generic gradient elution and wide mass range acquisition was used with good sensitivity. The total analysis time was only 23 min. The ion chromatograms for flavonoid compounds were automatically extracted, and the fragmentation patterns obtained using positive ion mode and exact mass data for both polarities were used for the tentative identification of compounds. Software-based automated searching of molecular ions for flavonoids and their glycosides (xylosides/arabinosides, rhamnosides, glucosides/galactosides) from total ion chromatograms was used. The compounds were quantified using quercetin, quercitrin, rutin and kuromanine as external standards and dextromethorphan as an internal standard. The detection limits ranged from 0.01-0.04 microg/mL, while the quantitation ranges obtained were 0.2-10 microg/mL for anthocyanins and 0.2-4 microg/mL for the other flavonoids. The accuracies within these ranges varied between 80-120% and precision was in the range 0-14% (relative standard deviation). Flavonoid contents of two medicinal plants (Hypericum perforatum and Rhodiola rosea), two grape red wines, two orange juices and two green teas were evaluated using the method, and the results obtained were in good agreement with those published previously.
