Objective: Chenopodium album L is the species of the genus chenopodium. The Greek name Chenopodium means goosefoot. The plant is native to Asia and Europe. The analysis of the constituents of the Iraqi plant was performed using gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography techniques.Methods: Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance TLC chromatographic techniques were used for the detection and isolation of the active constituent found in the plant. Spectral analysis such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and UV was used to confirm the chemical structure of the compound isolated.Results: Astragalin was isolated and identified by comparison with standard kaempferol 3-O-β-glucoside (astragalin) which was detected as the major glycoside in the polar fraction of the plant. Further, identification of the compound was performed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy.Conclusion: Astragalin is the major flavonoid glycoside found in the plant.

The utilization of elm leaf flavonoids as biochemical markers for the identification of artificial and natural hybrids of elm species is discussed. Two to 11 individuals from controlled crosses of Ulmuscarpinifolia Gled., Ulmuspumila L., Ulmusparvifolia Jacq., and Ulmusjaponica (R.) Sarg. were examined. Five to seven individuals from each parental species, and a number of putative hybrids between U. carpinifolia and U. pumila that naturally occur in central and northern Italy, were also examined. Quantitative data on leaf flavonoid glycosides were obtained by means of high-performance thin layer chromatography and examined by multivariate discriminant analysis. The results show that it is possible to identify the hybrid obtained between these species even if the parents are unknown, provided a number of individuals of the parental species are examined; therefore, it is also possible to certify putative hybrids. The higher variability of the flavonoid glycoside data of U. carpinifolia and U. pumila and the probable presence of F2 generation individuals make the certification of natural hybrids between these two species in some cases difficult or even impossible.

Vitamin E, the fat soluble vitamin is present naturally in some foods and added in food supplements, nutraceuticals etc due to its vital biological function as an antioxidant. Various methods are available for the analysis of vitamin E. Especially High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography (GC) are exclusively used for the quantitative evaluation of vitamin E, which has also identified the four different isomeric forms of this vitamin. The rate of losses of this vitamin during food processing and analysis, in addition to their transient dynamics, presents complexities in developing a highly sensitive procedure for their separations. Though effective, HPLC instrument is expensive and comparatively cumbersome. In this prospective, the study was to evaluate the usefulness of High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) in the analysis of vitamin E. There are methods available using Thin Layer Chromatography for its analysis, but they are not sensitive enough to identify the isomeric forms of vitamin E. In this HPTLC method, the different isomeric forms of vitamin E - α, β, γ and δ were identified. This technique shall be considered as an alternative to the other methods such as HPLC and GC.

<p>Chromatographic techniques have significant role in natural products chemistry as well as contribute dramatically in the discovery of novel and innovative compounds of pharmaceutical and biomedical importance. This study focused on step-by-step visual demonstration of fractionation and isolation of biologically active plant secondary metabolites using column-chromatographic techniques. Isolation of bioactive compounds using column-chromatographic involves: a) Preparation of sample; b) Packing of column; c) Pouring of sample into the column; d) Elution of fractions; and e) Analysis of each fractions using thin layer chromatography. However, depending on nature of research, compounds can be further purified using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral analyses.</p><p><strong>Video Clips</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/pr8mrBoI8xA">Part 1:</a> 3 min 45 sec</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/rYrfClKn-og">Part 2:</a> 6 min 21 sec</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/kffHXxuPwbo">Part 3</a>: 4 min 45 sec</p>

An extract from a submersed culture of the mushroom Agrocybe aegerita (BRIG.) SING., containing antifungal antibiotic compounds was chromatographed on a silica gel column. Compounds from fractions which displayed the highest biological activity were concentrated and isolated by means of preparative thin-layer chromatography and preparative high-performance liquid chromatography, and were further characterized by means of gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. They are sesquiterpenic diols predominantly with an illudine skeleton. Structural formulae are proposed for some of them.

The publication is devoted to photostability assessment of four triazole antifungal drugs: fluconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole and voriconazole. The compounds were exposed in the solid state using the whole spectrum of UV-Vis radiation. The analyses were performed using high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) technique with densitometric detection. The results indicates considerable degradation of structurally similar itraconazole and posaconazole which could be clinically significant. After 72 hours of itraconazole irradiation there remain less than 25%, and 60% in case of posaconazole. To a lesser extent photodegradation concern two other compounds with a separate chemical structure: fluconazole and voriconazole. After 72 hours of irradiation there left 75% and 82% of these substances, respectively. The strict dependence between compound photostability and its chemical structure was observed.
