title: Analysis of gossypol and gossypol-acetic acid by high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: Gossypol, a bis-sesquiterpenoid cotton pigment, is of current interest as a male fertility-regulating agent. For the purposes of analyzing material to be studied biologically, a method is described for the analysis of gossypol by high-performance liquid chromatography. This has been used for examining the purity of gossypol-acetic acid using a UV-absorbance ratio technique.
