Apigenin is best known as an irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO), an intracellular enzyme associated with the outer membrane of mitochondria. The purpose of this study is to establish a reliable and quick method for the assignment of apigenin in Cosmos bipinnatus, Apium graveolens, and Petroselinum crispum by HPLC. A rapid and sensitive HPLC method has been developed for determination of apigenin. Mobile phase was composed water-acetonitrile (55:45 v/v) with a flow rate of 1 ml/min and the eluted peaks were detected by a UV detector set at wavelength of 340 nm. The method was validated in the range of apigenin concentrations from 0.01 to 500 μg/ml and the limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) of the method were 0.005 and 0.01 μg/ml, respectively. The average recovery throughout the linear concentration range was 97.28 percent and the averages for within-run and between-run accuracy values were 99.32 and 96.79 respectively. The method is quick, simple, sensitive, and precise for the screen, assignment, and evaluation of apigenin in plants by HPLC.
