A new UV labeling reagent was developed and used in HPLC for the determination of prostaglandin $E_2$ which have weak UV light-absorbing property. This reagent, 2-bromoacetyltriphenylene, was synthesized by the bromination of 2-acetyltriphenylene which was obtained from triphenylene by Friedel-Crafts reaction. The wave length maximum (${lambda}_{max}^{CH_3CN}$ of this reagent was 268nm. Prostaglandin E$_2$ was extracted from prostaglandin E$_2$-$eta$-cyclodextrin using a Sep-pak $C_{18}$ cartridge. The prostaglandin E$_2$ was labeled with 2-bromoacetyl-triphenylene in aectonitrite using 18-crown-6-ether as catalyst. Derivatized prostaglandins were separated on a reversed-phase column (Radial-pak) $mu$-Bondapak $C_{18}$ using acetonitrile: water=60:40 as mobile phase. The effluent was monitored by UV detector at 254nm filter kit. Linearity of calibration curve was obtained between 30ng and 140ng, and the lower limit of detection was 5ng.
