    Abstract

    The molecular extinction coefficient epsilon of cylindrospermopsin (CYN) purified by the anion exchange and the normal-phase HPLC procedures was determined to be 9800 at 262 nm. This epsilon is significantly higher than those (epsilon, 5800-6250) reported previously. In order to determine CYN concentrations in solutions using UV absorption, the epsilon-value of CYN should be corrected from 5800 to 9800. Further, the [alpha](D) value of CYN should be corrected from +12.5 degrees to +17.0 degrees .
