Abstract
This article describes a laboratory class experiment for an undergraduate Biochemistry course for Chemistry students. The experimental work involves the extraction of lovastatin from a medicament utilized in the treatment of hypercholesterolemic patients, and its determination by spectroscopy and by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The entire experiment can be performed in one laboratory period, e.g. less than one day.
