Abstract We describe a stepwise-development thin-layer-chromatographic technique for separating phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol in samples of amniotic fluid. Plates are prepared from silica gel G slurried in a 50 g/L ammonium sulfate solution. Phospholipid phosphorus determination is not needed. Phospholipid phosphorus determination is not needed. Phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol, measured densitometrically, are expressed as ratios to the sphingomyelin present. These ratios are correlated with the lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio and age of gestation in normal and abnormal pregnancies.

Lung Maturity

Abstract We describe an indirect test of fetal lung maturity: the quantitation of disaturated phosphatidylcholine in amniotic fluid. The lipids in samples of amniotic fluid from 172 patients were reacted with osmium tetroxide, and disaturated phosphatidylcholine was then isolated by thin-layer chromatography. Interfering substances were retained by a pre-adsorbent layer. The charred disaturated phosphatidylcholine, quantitated by densitometry, was compared to standard dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine. Both within-run and between-run coefficients of variation were about 10%. Blood and meconium do not interfere. Six infants developed respiratory distress when disaturated phosphatidylcholine concentrations of amniotic fluid drawn within 72 h of delivery were less than 5.5 mg/L. A concurrently determined lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio falsely predicted lung maturity in one of these. In seven other samples for which lecithin/sphingomyelin ratios suggested lung immaturity but disaturated phosphatidyl-choline predicted maturity, none of the infants developed respiratory distress. In normal pregnancies, measurement of disaturated phosphatidylcholine in amniotic fluid appears to be a better predictor of fetal lung maturity than is measurement of the lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio. Further studies are needed to determine if this analysis is a better predictor in diabetic pregnancies.

Abstract We describe a one-dimensional thin-layer chromatographic system for separation of amniotic fluid phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylethanolamine in amniotic fluid. We utilize short-bed continuous development and "high performance" thin-layer chromatography. Phospholipids are detected with an antimony molybdate staining reagent and quantitated by transmittance densitometry. This system is more sensitive to changes in lecithin/sphingomyelin ratios than are planimetric evaluations.

Abstract A radial "high-performance" thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method is described by which the percentages and ratios of phosphatidylinositol, sphingomyelin, lecithin, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and dimethyl phosphatidylethanolamine may be determined simultaneously. An additional method for radial HPTLC determination of saturated phosphatidylcholine is described. We report results of application of these methods to greater than 2000 specimens of amniotic fluid from both diabetic and nondiabetic cases.

Aim and Objective: Several plants from Lamiaceae family are used in the Saudi Arabia as a condiment and food preparation, and are generally used in the traditional preparation to treat various diseases, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and microbial infections. Some of Lamiaceae species such as Mentha longifolia, Rosemarinus officinalis and Salvia officinalis having pharmacological active compounds such as α-pinene and eucalyptol. The aim of present study was to develop an accurate and precise chromatographic technique for quantification of α-pinene and eucalyptol in the Lamiaceae plants.  Methods: The high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) method was developed as per International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guideline. Results: Simultaneous determination of α-pinene and eucalyptol was achieved by developing a densitometric analysis of high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC). Silica gel 60 F254 glass-backed plates (E-Merck, Germany, 0.2 mm layers) as stationary phase and mixture n-hexane: ethyl acetate 8 : 2 (%, v/v) as mobile phase were used to produce a sharp, symmetrical and well-resolved peak at an Rf value of 0.19 ± 0.02 and 0.52 ± 0.04 for α-pinene and eucalyptol, respectively. Linearly range for α-pinene was 100–700 ng/spot (r2 = 0.9988), whereas that for eucalyptol was 1000–7000 ng/spot (r2 = 0.9987). Conclusion: The developed method was found to be a simple, accurate, and precise, and it may be used to simultaneously analyses of many medicinal plants samples containing α-pinene and eucalyptol.

abstract The progress in layers, instrumentation, and the development of automated scanning densitometers have led to a remarkable improvement of the features of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and especially its high performance version (HPTLC). Contemporary TLC or HPTLC combines the techniques' inherent advantages which include high sample throughput, simultaneous processing of standards and samples, flexibility, easy postchro matographic visualization techniques, and the ability to handle complex or crude samples with minimum sample cleanup—with improved selectivity, sensitivity, and accuracy. It is a very economical chromatographic technique that competes with and complements HPLC. Development and validation of procedures can be performed rapidly in full accordance with all current international guidelines.
