Summary A new spectrophotometric method for the determination of micromolar concentrations of ursolic acid (URSA) in pure form is described. The proposed method is performed using one out of four different tetrazolium salts, such as tetrazolium blue chloride, TLBC (I), 2,3,5-triphenyitatrazolium chloride, TPTC (II), neotetrazolium chloride, NTZC (III), and tetrazolium violet chloride, TZVC (IV). The method is based on the reduction of the tetrazolium salt used by URSA, in an alkaline ethanolic medium. The formozans exhibit, just in case, an absorption maximum (λmax), an apparent molar absorptivity (logε) and a Sandeill’s sensitivity (in ng/cm), such as: 525 nm (4.29; 28.9 for I), 485 nm (3.43; 168.7 for II), 507 nm (4.18; 30.1 for III) and 512 nm (3.41; 173.5 for IV). Beer’s law is obeyed over the range of 1.0-50.0 μg/ml (for I and III) and 5.0-150.0 μg/ml (for II and IV), while the optimum concentration range is 2.5-35.0 μg/ml (for I and III) and 12.5- 125.0 μg/ml (for II and IV). The regression line equations, as well as the correlation coefficient (r) for n = 18 determinations were calculated as: A=3.48*10-2C – 5.17*10-3 (r – 0.9999) for I; A=5.89*10-3C + 2.02*10-3 (r = 1.0000) for II; A=3.33*10-2C – 2.61*10-3 (r = 1.0000) for III and A=5.83*10-3C – 3.85*10-3 (r = 0.9998) for IV. The accuracy and the precision of the new analytical method were experimentally checked and considered as very satisfactory.
