    Abstract:
    A simple, accurate, and reproducible high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed and validated for the quantification of quercetin (QR) in rat plasma. The method involves a simple protein precipitation procedure to extract both QR and thymoquinone (TQ), the internal standard. The chromatographic analysis was achieved on a Shimadzu LC 20 A HPLC system equipped with a Supelcosil LC-18 T C18 column and an isocratic mobile phase consisting of 0.3% trichloroacetic acid in water and acetonitrile HPLC-grade (50:50, v/v) run at a flow rate of 0.9 mL/min for 13 min. The UV detection wavelength was set at 254 nm. The method exhibited good linearity (R2  > 0.994) over the assayed concentration range (0.10-25 μg/mL) and demonstrated good intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy (relative standard deviations and the deviation from predicted values were <20%). This method was also successfully applied for studying the pharmacokinetics of QR in rats following a single oral dose of QR to evaluate its pharmacokinetic parameters in rats.
