Mercaptopurine and its derivatives are used in the treatment of leukemia. To estimate their lipophilicity, a simple and novel thin layer chromatography method was developed. The mobile phase was the mixture of acetonitrile and water. The acetonitrile content varied by 5% from 50% to 80%. The linear relationship between and for substances with known lipophilicity was found. The lipophilicity of purine derivatives was worked out from the calibration curve. The most lipohilic compound was methylazathioprine (0.64).

<p><strong>Objective: </strong>A simple, sensitive, precise, and accurate stability indicating HPTLC (high-performance thin-layer chromatography) method for analysis of 10-gingerol in ginger has been developed and validated as perICH guidelines.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The separation was achieved on TLC (thin layer chromatography) aluminum plates pre-coated with silica gel 60F<sub>254</sub> using n-hexane: ethyl acetate 55:45 (%, v/v) as a mobile phase. Densitometric analysis was performed at 569 nm.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>This system was found to have a compact spot of 10-gingerol at <em>R</em><sub>F</sub> value of 0.57±0.03. For the proposed procedure, linearity (<em>r</em><sup>2</sup> = 0.998±0.02), limit of detection (18ng/spot), limit of quantification (42 ng/spot), recovery (ranging from 98.35%–100.68%), were found to be satisfactory.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Statistical analysis reveals that the content of 10-gingerol in different geographical region varied significantly. The highest and lowest concentration of 10-gingerol in ginger was found to be present in a sample of Patna, Lucknow and Surat respectively which inferred that the variety of ginger found in Patna, Lucknow are much superior to other regions of India.</p>

Objective: The present study is designed to develop a new simple, precise, rapid and selective high‐performance thin‐layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method for the determination of stigmasterol in methanolic rhizomes extract of Alpinia calcarata.Methods: As per International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines we have applied different concentrations of stigmasterol as standard on HPTLC plates for the quantification of stigmasterol from the Alpinia calcarata rhizomes. The concentration of standard stigmasterol is 1 mg/ml.Results: The retention factor of stigmasterol was 0.58. Linearity was obtained in the range of 50 ng‐250 ng for stigmasterol. The developed and validated HPTLC method was employed for stigmasterol in methanolic rhizomes extract of Alpinia calcarata for standardization of the content of the marker. The linear regression data for the calibration plots showed a good linear relationship with r=0.99977 for stigmasterol, respectively Satisfactory recoveries of 99.77 % were obtained for stigmasterol.Conclusion: The results obtained in validation assays indicate the accuracy and reliability of the developed HPTLC method for the quantification of stigmasterol in methanolic rhizomes extract of Alpinia calcarata

Abstract A new and simple TLC-densitometry method has been developed for the simultaneous separation of the two noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressants mirtazapine and mianserine and validated for their determination in commercially available tablets. The method used TLC plates precoated with silica gel 60F254 as the stationary phase, and the mobile phase consisted of hexaneisopropanol25 ammonia (70 + 25 + 5, v/v/v). Densitometric analysis was carried out in the absorbance mode at 280 nm. The method was validated in accordance with International Conference on Harmonization guidelines in terms of linearity, LOD, LOQ, precision, and accuracy. Calibration curves were linear (R2 &gt; 0.9970) with respect to peak area in the concentration range of 5002500 and 5005000 ng/spot for mirtazapine and mianserine, respectively. The LODs were 20 and 35 ng/spot for mirtazapine and mianserine, respectively. The described method was successfully applied to the determination of mirtazapine and mianserine in their pharmaceutical formulations with recovery ranging from 99.83 to 101.20 of the labeled amount of the compounds. The proposed method can be used in routine QC of these drugs in pharmaceutical formulations.
