Abstract This one-dimensional thin-layer chromatographic method is used for assay of phospholipids in the gastric aspirate of newborns. The solvent mixture (chloroform/hexane/methanol/glacial acetic acid/water, 12/7/4/3/0.3 by vol) completely resolves lecithin, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylglycerol. The method is simple, precise, inexpensive, and rapid (chromatographic development takes less than 25 min) and gives high chromatographic resolution. We used this method to determine the lecithin/sphingomyelin densitometric ratio (L/S ratio) and the phosphatidylglycerol percentage in 200 samples of gastric aspirate and found an L/S ratio of 2.5 to be a satisfactory cutoff value for distinguishing fetal lung maturity and immaturity. We confirmed that the presence of phosphatidylglycerol excluded the possibility of respiratory distress.

Oxetacaine is a potent local anesthetics used to relieve pain associated with peptic ulcer. The current method details about a rapid, accurate and precise HPTLC technique for the assessment of Oxetacaine in Pharmaceutical formulation. Chromatographic resolution was carried out on precoated HPTLC plates (Silica gel 60 F254 on Aluminum plate) employing methanol: water: glacial acetic acid (8: 1.8: 0.2 v/v/v) as mobile phase. Densitometric assessment was carried out at 220nm [Camag TLC Scanner III with winCATs software (version – 1.3.4)]. The drug was identified with a Rf value of 0.61. The reliability of the projected method was ascertained by evaluating various validation parameters as per ICH guidelines. The proposed technique can evaluate ten or more formulation units concurrently in a single run and affords a more rapid and cost-effective QC tool for regular analysis of Oxetacaine in pharmaceutical formulations.
