Abstract

The pKa values of 1,4,5,8-tetrahydroxy-9-oxo-10-pentyl-9,10- dihydro-acridine-2,3,6,7-tetracarboxylic acid (TPAT) extracted from Laurus nobilis were determined by Molspin potentiometric titration at 25°C in the presence of 0.1 mol dm-3 NaCl. The pKa values were calculated using SUPERQUAD computer program. Initially deprotonation occurs in carboxylic groups, then at the nitrogen atom of the alkyl group, and finally at the hydroxylic groups of TPAT. The following pKa values were computed: 2.65, 3.36, 4.08, 5.43, 6.84, 9.30, 10.42 and 10.53.
