Pharm. Res. 38, 127-140 (2021). HPTLC of [11C]metoclopramide in plasma, kidney, urine and liver extracts on silica gel with ethyl acetate - ethanol - 25 % ammonium hydroxide 16:4:1. Detection using a multisensitive phosphor screen. The hRF value for [11C]metoclopramide was 60. The method allowed kinetic analysis in different organs after radiotracer injection in mice.

J. Liq. Chromatogr. Relat. Technol. 44, 87-94 (2021). HPTLC fingerprinting of Selinum
tenuifolium on silica gel with toluene - ethyl acetate - formic acid 13:11:2. Detection under UV light at 254 nm and 366 nm. The hRF values for gallic acid and ferulic acid were 36 and 58, respectively. 

J. Planar Chromatogr. 34, 89-94 (2021). HPTLC of fresh Kakadu plum fruits (Terminalia ferdinandiana) on silica gel with toluene - ethyl acetate - formic acid 5:3:2. Detection by dipping into natural product reagent (1.0 g of 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate in 100 mL methanol), followed by heating at 100 ºC for 3 min. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 366 nm. The HPTLC fingerprint allowed to differentiate between different sources of fruit.

J. of Chromatogr. Sci. 59 (7), 634-641 (2021). TLC of ledipasvir on silica gel with ethylacetate – hexane – acetonitrile – trimethylamine 12:7:3:1. Detection by exposure to strong UV irradiation to enhance the fluorescence properties of ledipasvir and densitometric scanning at 315 nm⁠. The hRF of ledipasvir was 28 and of sofosbuvir 36. Linearity was in the range of 5-50 ng/band⁠. The method is suitable for the specific determination of ledipasvir in pharmaceutical tablets without interference from sofosbuvir or excipients, thus for the estimation of ledipasvir in fecal specimens with adequate recovery and for testing the content uniformity of ledipasvir in the pharmaceutical tablets.

Planta Med. 85(3), 195-202 (2019). The dichloromethane fraction of an ethanolic extract from Gloeophyllum odoratum sporocarp (Gloeophyllaceae, Basidiomycetes) was submitted to a multistep purification process (conventional, flash and supercritical fluid column chromatography). At each step, fractions were monitored on TLC silica gel with dichloromethane – methanol – water 40:4:1. Detection under white and UV light after derivatization with vanillin sulfuric acid 5 % in methanol and heating. Eight triterpenes were isolated for further identification: eburicodiol, gloeophyllins B and K, hydroxylanosterol, trametenolic acid B (all five from the lanostane type), gloeophyllins A and L (C‑nor-D-homoergosteroid type), and ergosterol peroxide (ergostane type).

Planta Med. 85(2), 154-159 (2019). Two new cycloartane triterpene heterosides (cimiheraclein F and a shengmanol derivative) isolated from Actaea heracleifolia aerial parts (Ranunculaceae) were submitted to acid hydrolysis (HCl 0.4 M in methanol 60 %, 90°C, 2 h). The glycone moieties were purified and developed on TLC silica gel with ethyl acetate – chloroform – methanol – water 3:2:2:1. Detection after spraying with sulfuric acid 10 % in water and heating. The glycones were identified in both cases as L-arabinopyranose by comparison of the RF values (and of specific optical rotation) to a standard.

Planta Med. 85(2), 112-117 (2019). A fraction of an ethanolic extract of Dolichos trilobus roots (Fabaceae) was eluted on a silica gel column with different mixtures of petroleum ether and acetone. This fractionation was monitored by TLC on silica gel (eluent not given), derivatization by spraying with sulfuric acid 10 % (in ethanol) and heating (100 °C). Further isolation steps allowed the identification of eight coumestans in two subfractions: dolichosins A–D, isosojagol, phaseol, psoralidin, dehydroisopsoralidin.

Sci. World J. 2020, 7367836 (2020). TLC of ethyl acetate fractions of hydro ethanolic extracts obtained from Cassia siamea leaves (Caesalpiniaceae) on silica gel with chloroform – ethanol 17:3, as well as cassiarin A (an isoquinoline alkaloid, hRF 34) as standard. Visualization under UV light. Densitometry scanning at 368 nm for cassiarin A. Linearity was in the range of 400–1400 ng; intra-day precision was below 4 %; LOD and LOQ values were 3 and 8 ng, respectively; recovery rates were 102.8–120.1 %. The cassiarin A concentrations in the samples (given as w/v, the volumes being those of the first undried hydro-ethanolic extracts) varied depending on the origin (ground and climate) of the leaves.
