This review examines the recent high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) literature on the effects of biotic and abiotic factors on certain analytes in the medically important freshwater snail, Biomphalaria glabrata. The analytes studied were lipids, lipophilic pigments, amino acids, and carbohydrates. As determined by HPTLC, various factors, such as larval parasitism, estivation, tem...

A simple, rapid, and accurate high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method is described for the simultaneous determination of levofloxacin hemihydrate and ornidazole in tablet dosage form. The method is based on the HPTLC separation of the two drugs followed by densitometric measurements of their spots at 298 nm. The separation is carried out on Merck TLC aluminium sheets of silica...

An HPTLC method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of stevioside (STE) and rebaudioside-A (REB-A) in Stevia rebaudiana leaves. The HPTLC separation was performed on precoated silica gel 60F254 HPTLC plates with the mobile phase ethyl acetate-ethanol-acetone-water (15 + 3 + 6 + 6, v/v/v/v). The densitometric quantification of steviol glycosides was carried out at Amax 580...

Novel HPTLC and stability indicating RP-HPLC methods were developed for simultaneous estimation of Moxifloxacin (MOX) and Dexamethasone (DEX) in ophthalmic dosage form. For HPTLC method, the separation was carried out on HPTLC aluminum plates using acetonitrile:water:ammonia (8:1:0.5 V/V/V) as mobile phase and developed plates were read at 266 nm. The drugs were resolved satisfactorily with Rf ...

Curcumin, the active molecule present in Curcuma longa is known for its antitumour, antioxidant, antiarthritic, anti-amyloid, anti-ischemic, anti-inflammatory activities. In addition, it may also be effective in treating malaria, prevention of cervical cancer, etc. High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method has been employed for determination of curcumin in four varieties of turm...

abstract our previous studies showed that various extracts of persian shallot (allium hirtifolium) have anti-angiogenic effects. this study has been undertaken to isolate and identify the major effective anti-angiogeneic sub-fraction of shallot. after preparation of the 50% hydroalcoholic extract of shallot bulbs, the extract was successively fractionated into n-hexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol...

A repeatable separation of polystyrenes according to MW, from 1920 to 520000 u.m.a, has been obtained under adsorption conditions using a method that comprises the use of Lichrospher HPTLC plates, and a controlled, isocratic elution with a 78:22 (v/v) mixture of cyclohexane (Cy)-tetrahydrofuran (THF). Likewise, UV-densitometric quantification of polystyrenes in mixtures can be achieved, by an i...

The fingerprint profiles of methanol extract and ethyl acetate sub fraction of Azadirachta indica leaves were conducted using preliminary phytochemical screening and high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) analysis. Preliminary phytochemical screening was performed using various biochemical tests. Alkaloid, flavonoid, tannin, saponin and phenol were present in both the extract/subfra...
