Most of the traditional medicinal plants in India are not scientifically validated. Scientific evaluation along with traditional knowledge is essential to obtain effective drugs for commercial purpose. Solena amplexicaulis belongs to the family, Cucurbitaceae, a traditional medicinal plant species of Tamil Nadu, India is being prescribed to cure various diseases. The present study is to establi...

High performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) was used to determine the phospholipid and sphingolipid profiles in the feces of BALB/c mice infected with Echinostoma caproni (Trematoda) versus uninfected controls. Lipids extracted from fecal samples with chloroform-methanol, 2:1, were separated on silica gel HPTLC plates developed in chloroformmethanol-water, 65:25:4. Densitometric analysis...

The HPTLC analysis, antioxidant, and antigout activity of Asparagus racemosus, Withania somnifera, Vitex negundo, Plumbago zeylanica, Butea monosperma and Tephrosia purpurea extracts were investigated. The chemical fingerprinting were carried out by high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC), antioxidant activity by ABTS, DPPH, FRAP radical scavenging assays, and antiogout activity by c...

Macrothelypteris torresiana is a fern species belonging to family Thelypteridaceae. The present study was conducted to evaluate hepatoprotective potential of ethanol extract from M. torresiana aerial parts (EEMTAP) and detect the polyphenolic compounds present in the extract using high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC). Hepatoprotective potential of EEMTAP were tested at doses of 30...

Abstract Background A sensitive, precise, and stability-indicating high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method has been developed for the analysis of Remogliflozin etabonate in tablet formulation. HPTLC plates precoated with silica gel 60 F 254 were used as stationary phase; methanol: ethyl acetate: toluene: NH 3 (2:4:4:0.1, v/v/v) was mobile phase, densitometry quantitative esti...

Background and objectives: Traditional polyherbal oils are still in use in Persian Traditional Medicine (PTM). Most of these formulations are prepared via traditional procedures such as maceration of herbs in oils or evaporating aqueous herbal extracts in boiling or heating oils as the vehicle. Thus, their quality control, standardization and authentication are real challenges ...

BACKGROUND A simple and sensitive thin-layer chromatographic method has been established for quantification of glycyrrhizin in Glycyrrhiza glabra rhizome and baby herbal formulations by validated Reverse Phase HPTLC method. MATERIALS AND METHODS RP-HPTLC Method was carried out using glass coated with RP-18 silica gel 60 F254S HPTLC plates using methanol-water (7: 3 v/v) as mobile phase. RES...

A simple and accurate HPTLC method has been developed for quantification of Syzygium Jambolanum and finger printing of the in-housed mother tincture considered here to be a standard with that of different marketed samples available from manufacturers of homoeopathic medicines in India. This HPTLC method was quantitatively evaluated in terms of stability, repeatability, accuracy and calibration ...
