Abstract A simple and reproducible high-performance thin-layer chromatographic method was developed for the simultaneous determination of bergenin and gallic acid in Bergenia ligulata. Water and methanol were used as the extracting solvents. The concentrations of bergenin and gallic acid in both of these solvents were found to be almost the same. The method involves separation of the components by thin-layer chromatography on a precoated Silica Gel 60 F254 plate with a solvent system of ethyl acetate–formic acid–acetic acid–water (100 + 11 + 11 + 27). The sensitivity of the method for bergenin was 0.30 μg, whereas for gallic acid it was 0.25 μg. The proposed method is precise and sensitive and can be used for the detection, monitoring, and simultaneous quantification of bergenin and gallic acid in B. ligulata.
