Description

2-Naphthyl benzoate is a compound that has been used as a fluorescence probe for the chromatographic determination of cardiac glycosides. It is also an acid conjugate of 2-naphthyl benzoate. The method includes the use of potassium dichromate and other reagents in vitro to determine the presence of cardiac glycosides by measuring fluorescence intensity. The reagents are mixed together, then incubated at 37°C for 5 minutes, followed by addition of the sample. Fluorescence is measured using a spectrophotometer at an excitation wavelength of 340 nm and emission wavelength of 460 nm. A constant that is specific to each cardiac glycoside is used to calculate the amount present in mg/L or µg/mL after 20 minutes. The nucleophilic nature of 2-naphthyl benzoate allows it to react with dipole-dipole interactions with electron deficient heterocyclic rings,
