Cardiospermum halicacabum is one of the most potent medicinal plants used in Indian traditional systems of medicine for the treatment of various diseases, mainly for arthritis. Apigenin is one of the major constituent present in Cardiospermum halicacabum. The present study mainly aimed to estimate the content of major constituent apigenin present in Cardiospermum halicacabum collected from 21 districts of Tamil Nadu by HPTLC method using the marker compound apigenin. The HPTLC method was performed using HPTLC aluminium sheets precoated with Silica Gel 60 GF254 as stationary phase and Toluene: Ethyl acetate: formic acid: methanol (3:6:1.6:0.4 v/v) as the mobile phase. The developed chromatogram was scanned at 254nm using Camag Scanner III. The Rf value of standard apigenin and apigenin in the leaf extract of Cardiospermum halicacabum was found to be in the range of 0.80 to 0.89. Plant collected from Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu was found to contain relatively high amount of marker compound apigenin than other regions.

Abstract Background: Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a dreadful disease transmitted by Culex vishnui group of mosquitoes. Control of JE vectors at the larval stage is one of the effective approaches in controlling JE. Methods: Leaves of Holoptelea integrifolia were subjected to petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, acetone and absolute alcohol solvent extraction by Soxhlet apparatus. As the ethyl acetate extract showed best mosquito larvicidal activity against Culex vishnui, it extract was selected and processed further for isolation of active principle through column chromatography and TLC and then characterization of the active principle by FTIR and GC-MS was done. Results: Ethyl acetate extract was found to be the most potent larvicide. In the active fraction of isolated compounds from ethyl acetate extract, N-methyl-1-adamantaneacetamide was the major constituent responsible for larvicidal activity of Culex vishnui. Green nanoparticles were synthesised by treating silver nitrate with leaf extract of H. integrifolia and were examined for larvicidal activity. Nanoparticles were characterised by UV-VIS spectral analysis, XRD study, TEM, SEM and FTIR spectral analysis. Synthesised nanoparticles were 40-50 nm in size and showed good larvicidal activity on Cx. vishnui mosquitoes at 1.25, 2.25, 5, 7.5 and 10 ppm concentrations. Active principle of plant extract and green nanoparticles showed eco-friendly effect on non-target organisms like Chironomus circumdatus, Daphnia sp, Diplonychus anulatum and Tadpole larvae. Conclusion: Thus it can be concluded that active ingredient as well as green synthesized nano particles from H. integrifolia can be a good alternative of presently used chemical insecticides.

In this work; delafloxacin (DLFX) was determined using a validated green RP-HPTLC and NP-HPTLC methods in commercial tablets and in-house developed solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). RP-HPTLC determination of DLFX was performed using “RP-18 silica gel 60 F254S HPTLC plates”. However; NP-HPTLC estimation of DLFX was performed using “silica gel 60 F254S HPTLC plates”. For a green RP-HPTLC method; the ternary combination of ethanol:water:ammonia solution (5:4:2 v/v/v) was used as green mobile phase. However; for NP-HPTLC method; the ternary mixture of ethyl acetate: methanol: ammonia solution (5:4:2 v/v/v) was used as normal mobile phase. The analysis of DLFX was conducted in absorbance/reflectance mode of densitometry at λmax = 295 nm for both methods. RP-HPTLC method was found more accurate, precise, robust and sensitive for the analysis of DLFX compared with the NP-HPTLC method. The % assay of DLFX in commercial tablets and in-house developed SLNs was determined as 98.2 and 101.0%, respectively, using the green RP-HPTLC technique, however; the % assay of DLFX in commercial tablets and in-house developed SLNs was found to be 94.4 and 95.0%, respectively, using the NP-HPTLC method. Overall, the green RP-HPTLC method was found superior over the NP-HPTLC. Therefore, the proposed green RP-HPTLC method can be successfully applied for analysis of DLFX in commercial tablets, SLNs and other formulations containing DLFX.

The separation and determination of lupeol from Hygrophila spinosa were carried out by two simple, precise and accurate HPTLC and RP-HPLC methods. HPTLC method for the determination of lupeol from plant extract and its formulation was developed using a solvent system consisting of toluene : ethyl acetate : methanol (15: 3: 1.5%v/v/v). For detection, lupeol had to be derivatized with Liebermann Burchard reagent at 1050C. The optimum wavelength was fixed as 366nm. In RP-HPLC, the separation was carried out on a C18 column and the mobile phase selected was methanol: acetonitrile (30:70%v/v). The maximum wavelength was found to be 210nm.The method was validated in terms of various parameters. Low relative standard deviation and good % recovery values of both the methods showed that the developed methods were highly precise and accurate and therefore can be used for the standardization and quantification of lupeol in Hygrophila spinosa and its formulation.

Background: Maceration is a non-heating extraction method the result of which is affected by the type of solvent and the maceration time. Objective: To get the higher alpha-mangostin concentration (Garcinia mangostana L.) rind that was macerated using ethyl acetate solvent and to determine the optimum maceration time needed to produce high concentration of alpha-mangostin. Methods: the mangosteen rind was macerated using ethyl acetate with the variation of the maceration time of 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours. The extract was then dried using the freeze drying method. The optimum maceration time was determined by looking at the highest concentration of alpha-mangostin from each extraction time using TLC-densitometry method with a silica gel stationary phase of GF254 and a mobile phase of chloroform—methanol (10:0.1, v/v). Results: The results showed that the difference in the maceration time can affect the concentration of alpha-mangostin compound contained in the extract. Conclusions: It was found out that the 24-hour maceration time produced the highest concentration of alpha-mangostin that is 3031.34 ng.

Abstract Background Mitiglinide (MTG) is one of meglitinides group which are used for treatment of type two diabetes mellitus. Objective Mitiglinide (MTG) is a novel oral hypoglycemic drug. The present work adopts two stability-indicating chromatographic methods for determination of MTG after being exposed to forced degradation using 4 M methanolic HCl for 12 h. Methods The first method is HPTLC/densitometry using methanol:chloroform:acetic acid (5:2.5:0.3 by volume) as the eluting system and silica gel 60 GF254 as the stationary phase; the separated bands were then scanned at 220 nm. The second method is HPLC/UV in which acetonitrile:methanol:0.05 M potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (pH 3.5) (40:25:35 by volume) was used as the mobile phase and a Zorbax SB-C8 (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) column as a stationary phase, at a flow rate of 1 mL/min and UV detection at 220 nm. Results As a result of acid hydrolysis, two degradants were obtained. The first one was benzyl succinic acid to which this study was performed. The second one lacked configuration and was unreadable using UV spectrometry. Linearity was in the range of 8–48 µg/band MTG for HPTLC and 10–80 µg MTG for HPLC. LOD and LOQ values were 1.85 and 5.62 µg/band for the HPTLC method and 2.14 and 6.49 µg/mL for the HPLC method, respectively. The Recovery % was 100.03 ± 1.464 and 99.61 ± 1.44 using the HPTLC and HPLC methods, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSD, %) for intra- and inter-day assays were 1.111 and 1.430 for the HPTLC method, respectively, and those for the HPLC method were 1.377 and 0.866, respectively. The RSD, %, for robustness testing was 1.162 (saturation time of mobile phase) and 1.592 (change in ratio of methanol content) for the HPTLC method and 1.377 (mobile phase composition), 1.713 (detector wavelength) and 1.770 (mobile phase flow rate) for the HPLC method. Conclusions The adopted methods were successfully applied for the determination of MTG in its pure form, in presence of its acid degradant and in its tablet dosage form. Highlights Statistical comparison between the results obtained from the developed methods and those obtained by the reported HPLC method showed no significance difference.
