of China Pharm. 26 (1), 50-53 (2012) Astragalus, as traditional Chinese medicinal herbal crude drug, is the dried root of Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge. Var. Monghoicus (Bge.) Hisao or Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge. It is specially effective for nourishing vitality, invigorating splenic yang, inducing diuresis for removing edema and promoting tissue regeneration. TLC of the extracts of the crude drugs on silica gel 1) for amino acids (standards arginine, alanine, proline), with carbolic acid – water 5:3 (carbolic acid was double distilled just before mixing with water), detection by spraying with 0.5 % ninhydrin in ethanol and heating at 105 ºC until the zones are visible under daylight; 2) for flavonoids (standards formononetin, calycosin glucoside, calycosin), with chloroform – methanol 10:1, detection by exposure to ammonia vapors for a few minutes and viewing under UV 254 nm.
Quim. Nova. 35, 541-545 (2012). HPTLC of isoorientin on silica gel with ethyl acetate - formic acid - water 9:1:1. Detection by dipping into a solution of diphenylboric acid-2-aminoethyl ester (100 mg) and PEG 400 (500 mg) in methanol (10 mL). Quantitative determination by fluorescence measurement at 366 nm. The HPTLC method (120 min) was almost seven times faster than the HPLC method (700 min). The amount of solvent consumed in the HPTLC method (12 mL) was almost eight-fold less than that used in the HPLC method (98 mL), indicating that HPTLC is an alternative technique for analyzing large numbers of samples.

As a herbal TCM preparation for treating sprain, contusion, blood stasis and innominate toxic swelling, Shangke Tiegao wound plaster is a new generation of trauma plaster preparations, based on the traditional trauma powder and a hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive which improves the release of the drug and reduces skin irritation. The new formulation not only retains the original dosage form and characteristics of the efficacy of transdermal drug delivery, but is also convenient to use. For quality control, TLC on silica gel 1) for Coptis chinensis Franch, with toluene – ethyl acetate – isopropanol – methanol – ammonia 12:6:3:3:1, detection under UV 366 nm; 2) for Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, with n-hexane – ethyl acetate – formic acid 60:20:1, detection at 254 nm; 3) for Fructus Gardeniae, with ethyl acetate – acetone – formic acid – water 5:5:1:1, detection by spraying with 10 % sulfuric acid in ethanol and heating at 110 °C, viewing in daylight; 4) for Radix Sanguisorbae, with toluene (saturated with water) - ethyl acetate – formic acid 6:3:1, detection by spraying with 1 % ferric chloride in ethanol and viewing in daylight.
Chinese J. of Med. Guide 2 (9), 109-110 (2012). Coptis chinensis is a herbal TCM drug for relieving internal heat or fever. High speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) is frequently applied to analyse the alkaloids of Coptis chinensis. To optimize the solvent system of HSCCC the method for determination of the partition coefficient of Coptis chinensis alkaloids was done by TLC and fluorescence spectrophotometry. The major alkaloids are coptisine, berberine, palmatine and epiberberine. The crude drug was extracted with ethanol and contained 9.2 % coptisine, 18.5 % berberine, 4.0 % palmatine and 3.5 % epiberberine. TLC on silica gel with cyclohexane – ethyl acetate – isopropanol – methanol – water – triethylamine 6:7:2:3:1 with chamber saturation for 20 min with ammonia vapors, detection at UV 366 nm. The zones were quantitatively scraped off the layer and eluted with ethanol for fluorescence spectrophotometry at UV 366 nm. Quantification by external standard calibration over the linearity range of 0.5-2.5 g/L for coptisine, berberine and epiberberine with standard addition recovery of 98.3 % (%RSD = 1.9 %, n=6), 95.3 % (%RSD = 3.4 %, n=6), 103.9 % (%RSD = 2.6 %, n=6), respectively; and 1.0-3.0 g/L for palmatine with standard addition recovery of 97.6 % (%RSD = 3.7 %, n=6). Calculation of the partition coefficient, i.e. the ratio of observed values of the analytes from the two phases, respectively, with the results for coptisine 2.20, berberine 0.29, palmatine 0.21 and epiberberine 0.61.
