High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Separation of Bryostatins 1–12

Abstract
A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-8; acetonitrile-water gradient) separation procedure was developed for detecting bryostatins 1–12, using a photodiode array detector system. While bryostatins 6 and 9 were found to co-elute they were easily separated using a silica gel column with 9:1 n-hexane-n-propanol as eluent.
