      HPTLC screening of weight loss products for deliberately added undeclared synthetic drugs
      Tiên DO*, E. REICH (*CAMAG Laboratory, Sonnenmattstrasse 11, 4132 Muttenz, Switzerland).

      J. AOAC Int. 102, 776-780 (2019). HPTLC of sibutramine, phenolphthalein, and three PDE5 inhibitors (sildenafil, vardenafil and tadalafil), as well as caffeine, fluoxetine, theophylline, and acetaminophen as adulterants in weight loss products on silica gel with methyl tert-butyl ether – toluene – methanol 8:2:1. Densitometric absorption measurement at 225 nm. The hRF values of reference substances increased in the following order: fluoxetine, sildenafil, vardenafil, caffeine, theophylline, tadalafil, acetaminophen, phenolphthalein and sibutramine. The method was successfully used for the screening of 12 commercial products. Of those, nine products tested positive for at least one undeclared component.

Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 366 nm. The hRF values for (1) to (3) and (5) to (7) were 72, 30, 80, 33, 40 and 43, respectively. The hRF values for (4) were 62 for acetylsalicylic acid, 49 for acetaminophen and 22 for caffeine. The quantitative methods were used to transfer the Global Pharma Health Fund (GPHF) Minilab Manual and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Compendium to HPTLC following a model process for moxfloxacin HCl, ofloxacin, and amoxicillin trihydrate. The results met the guidelines of the model process regarding the calibration curves: r-values were at least 0.99, assays were within 85–115% specification limits of the label values of individual tablets and capsules, validation recoveries were within 95 - 105 % at all three spike levels, RSDs were no higher than 3 % for assays and validation analyses, and peak identity and peak purity checks had correlation factors of at least
      0.99.
