J. AOAC Int. 93, 1222-1227 (2010). HPTLC of rosuvastatin (ROS) and ezetimibe (EZE) on silica gel with n-butyl-acetate - chloroform - glacial acetic acid 1:8:1 with chamber saturation for 30 min. Quantitative determination by densitometry at 245 nm. The hRf value of ROS was 30 and of EZE 58. The linearity for ROS and EZE was 0.1 to 0.9 µg/zone.The intraday and interday precision was 0.62 % and 0.73 % for ROS and 0.59 % and 0.69 % for EZE (n=3). The LOD values for ROS and EZE were found to be 0.04 and 0.07 µg/spot, respectively, and their LOQ values were 0.07 and 0.1 µg/spot, respectively. The recovery study results ranged from 98 to 101 % for ROS and EZE.

CBS 105, 10-12 (2010). HPTLC of stratum corneum lipids (ceramides, cholesterol, phosphatidylcholine, squalene, sphingomyelin etc.) on silica gel by automated multiple development with a 8-step gradient from methanol to hexane in the AMD2 with pre-conditioning with 4M acetic acid before step 6. Detection by immersion in copper(II)sulfate reagent followed by heating at 170 °C for 8 min. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 600 nm. Phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin remain at the start position, all other substances are separated.

62nd Indian Pharmaceutical Congress Abstract No. F-264 (2010). TLC of lamivudine, zidovudine and nevirapine on silica gel with chloroform – methanol 9:1. The hRf values were 7, 46 and 77 for lamivudine, zidovudine and nevirapine, respectively. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 265 nm. The method was linear in the range of 90-210 µg/band, 180-240 µg/band and 120-280 µg/band for lamivudine, zidovudine and nevirapine respectively.

Der Pharma Chemica 2(3), 8-18 (2010). HPTLC of berberine on silica gel with methanol – acetic acid – water 8:1:1. The band corresponding to berberine showed an hRf value of 74. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 350 nm. The method was linear in the range of 100-500 ng/band. Different samples analysed by the proposed method were found to contain 11.8-12.5 mg/g berberine. The recovery was between 98.0-100.3 %.
