Achyranthes aspera and Cissus quadrangularis are important medicinal plants possessing wide biological activity. The natural products obtained from plants provides an unique opportunity for the development of new drugs but due to their complex nature there is a need to isolate and purify the bioactive compounds from plant extracts by separation techniques. Our earlier findings revealed that methanol extracts of A. aspera and C. quadrangularis and aqueous extract of C. quadrangularis exhibited antibacterial activity. This prompted to take up further research to reveal these plants’ potential valuable phytochemicals and therefore an attempt has been made to separate the phytochemical constituents of methanol and aqueous extracts of A. aspera and C. quadrangularis by thin layer chromatography. Phytochemical screening of both plant extracts revealed more concentrated phytochemicals in methanol extracts than in aqueous extracts. The TLC profiling showed that methanol extract of A. aspera and C. quadrangularis are rich in flavonoids and phenolic compounds. Flavonoids were separated with n-butanol:ethyl acetate:water (1:2:3) solvent system at Rf value of 0.66 and was confirmed by post-development derivatization with 3% boric acid and 10% oxalic acid spray. After derivatization, the flavonoid spot could be further visualized under UV light at 254nm. Phenolic compounds were separated with methanol:water (2:1) solvent system at Rf value of 0.88 and confirmed with 10% ferric chloride spray. From the present study, suitable mobile phase for separation of flavonoids and phenolic compound fraction from methanol and aqueous extracts of both plants and TLC profiling have been developed

Objective: The present study was undertaken to develop the standardization parameters of powdered aerial parts of Onosma bracteatum Wall, family Boraginaceae. Methods: Different parameters such as pharmacognostical, physicochemical, preliminary phytochemical evaluation along with thin layer chromatography for identification of phytoconstituents were studied. Results: On microscopical examination of the aerial parts it showed the presence of oval to polygonal thin walled straight epidermal cells; spiral vessels, a few fibres elongated with blunt tips, long warty, tubercle based unicellular hairs and paracytic stomata. On physicochemical evaluation it was found to contain more amount of polar constituents as the ethanol extractive value was found to be more. Total ash value and acid insoluble ash indicated the presence of inorganic acids and silicaceous matter respectively. Foaming index and swelling index were indicative of saponins and mucilaginous matter present in the aerial parts. On preliminary phytochemical screening and thin layer chromatographic studies it revealed the presence of saponins, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and mucilage. Conclusion: The present work carried out can serve as a purpose for identification, authentication and standardization of the crude drug.

Objective: To explore physiochemical and phytochemical standardization of leaves of Amaranthus viridis and Amaranthus spinosus. Method: As per WHO guidelines, physical standardization parameters with various solvents system were evaluated. The preliminary phytochemical screenings were adopted for disclosing the existence of phytochemicals in the discrete extracts. Thin layer chromatography and HPTLC were employed for methanolic extract of leaves of Amaranthus viridis and Amaranthus spinosus. Result: Preliminary phytochemical screening with various extracts reveals phytoconstituents. HPTLC fingerprint were executed for leaves of Amaranthus viridis and Amaranthus spinosus using selected solvent system. HPTLC analysis implies the presence of phenolic compounds and flavonoids in both the plant Amaranthus viridis and Amaranthus spinosus.

Wound healing is a dynamic phenomenon that results in the restoration of anatomic continuity and function on which can be delayed by pathogenic bacteria. This research was designed to explore the antimicrobial efficacy of Tillandsia usneoides against skin infections in wound healing. Physical and chemical evaluations were done through phytochemical screening and thin layer chromatography. The effect of methanolic, ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Tillandsia usneoides against pathogenic bacteria were evaluated on antimicrobial activities using disc diffusion and broth dilution susceptibility assay. The excision bioassay analysis was used in examining the wound healing process in mice. The result of the qualitative phytochemical screening showed the presence of flavonoids and alkaloids. Thin layer chromatography revealed a high Rf value for flavonoids (0.75mm) and alkaloids (0.60mm). The antibacterial assay showed a high zone of inhibition (ZI) for both methanolic extract (>23mm, >22mm and >20mm) and ethanolic extract (>22mm, >22mm and >17mm) for P.aeruginosa, S.aureus and S.epidermis respectively. Resistance against aqueous extract was observed based on the lowest zone of inhibition ( less than 4mm). Gentamicin was used as the positive control (>28mm) and DMSO as the negative control. The minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration results confirmed that methanolic and ethanolic extracts restrained the growth of tested bacteria in the range of 125 to 500mg/mL and showed bactericidal efficacy. Wound healing assay indicated that methanolic extract had a higher potency of wound closure (12 days; less than 1mm) compared to ethanolic and aqueous extracts (13days; >1.5mm and 13days: >1.8mm respectively). Povidone-Iodine was used as the gold standard (15days; less than 2mm) in the study. In conclusion, methanolic extract of T. usneoides has a great potential with regard to its antimicrobial and wound healing activity to be developed as a novel drug in the future.

By conducting the toxicological analysis it is meaningful to determine the analytical system that could identify simultaneously several medicinal preparations quickly and precisely. The purpose of this work was to create and validate the method of thin-layer chromatography that would be suitable to separate the components of antidepressant mixture (amitriptyline hydrochloride, paroxetine hydrochloride, sertraline hydrochloride, fluvoxamine maleate and buspirone hydrochloride) and to identify them. The system was validated with regard to the sensitivity, repetition of data, resistance and particularity. The solvent systems with potential of high separation of components in their mixture were created: acetonitrile, methanol, ammonia solution 25 percent (85:10:5); acetonitrile, methanol, ammonia solution 25 percent (75:20:5); dichlormethane, 1,4-dioxane, ammonia solution 25 percent (50:45:5); dichlormethane, 1,4-dioxane, ammonia solution 25 percent (42:55:3); trichlormethane, 1,4-dioxane, ammonia solution 25 percent (25:70:5); trichlormethane, 1,4-dioxane, ammonia solution 25 percent (60:36:4). One of the most suitable solvent systems for separation of the analyzed mixture (sertraline, amitriptyline, paroxetine, buspirone, fluvoxamine) was determined – acetonitrile, methanol, ammonia solution 25 percent (85:10:5). When this solvent system was used, the average Rf values of the analyzed compounds differed the most. Validation was conducted – the relative standard deviation (RSD, percent) of the average Rf value of the analyzed compounds varied from 0,6 to 1,8 percent and did not exceed the permissible error of 5 percent. The sensitivity of methodology was determined by assessing the intensity of the mixture’s spots on the chromatographic plate. The detection limit of buspirone was 0,0012 µg; sertraline – 0,0008 µg; amitriptyline – 0,0004 µg; fluvoxamine – 0,0004 µg; paroxetine – 0,0008 µg. The resistance of results to the changed conditions – it was determined that when the amounts of the solvents acetonitrile and methanol were increased or decreased to two milliliters, the average Rf values of the analyzed compounds did not change statistically significantly

Black and green tea contains a wide range of natural phenolic compounds Flavanoids and their glycosides, catechins and the products of their condensation, and phenolic acids are the most important. Kombucha beverage is obtained by fermentation of tea fungus on black or green tea sweetened with sucrose. The aim of this paper was to investigate the composition of some phenolic compounds, catechin, epicatechin, quercetin, myricetin, gallic and tanic acid, and monitoring of their status during tea fungus fermentation. The method used for this study was thin layer chromatography with two different systems. The main phenolic compounds in the samples with green tea were catechin and epicatechin, and in the samples with black tea it was quercetin.
