Whole Plant Powder by HPTLC. Chromatographia 65 (11-12), 767-769 (2006). Description of a simple, precise and accurate HPTLC method for the determination of rutin in the whole plant powder of Amaranthus spinosus Linn, which has been reported to have anti-diabetic, anti-thrombotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic activity. TLC of a methanol extract of the whole plant powder on silica gel with ethyl acetate - formic acid - methanol - water 100:9:11:17. Quantitative determination by densitometric measurement in absorbance mode at 363 nm. Linearity was between 10 and 60 µg/mL.

TLC of Shajun Zhiyang lotion on silica gel with 1) benzene - ethyl acetate - isopropanol - methanol - ammonia 12:6:3:3:1; 2) benzene - ethyl acetate 30:1; 3) ethyl acetate. Detection 1) under UV 365 nm; 2) by spraying with 5% vanillin in H2SO4 solution and heating at 105 °C. Identification by fingerprint techniques. Quantification of matrine by HPLC.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 20, 131-133 (2007). HPTLC of camptothecin (4-ethyl-4-hydroxy-1H-pyrano[3’,4’:6,7]indolizino[1,2b]quinoline-3,14(4H,12H)dione) on silica gel with toluene - acetonitrile - glacial acetic acid 65:35:1. Detection and quantitation were performed by densitometric scanning in fluorescence mode at 370 nm.

59th Indian Pharmaceutical Congress C-43, 234, (2007). HPTLC of Z-guggulsterone (a steroidal ketone present in oily resin of Commiphora mukul) and five marketed ayurvedic tablet formulations containing guggul, on silica gel with toluene - propane-1-ol - glacial acetic acid 8:1:1. Densitometry at 254 nm. The hRf of E-guggulsterone was 55. Several marketed formulations were evaluated for Z-guggulsterone, the UV spectra of the standard and that of the formulations were comparable in respect of Z-guggulsterone.The method was found suitable for evaluation of Z-guggulsterone in presence of other phytochemicals present in formulations.

59th Indian Pharmaceutical congress C-324, 302, (2007). HPTLC of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of different plant parts (fruits, leaves, stem and root) of Solanum xanthocarpum and Solanum trilobatum, on silica get with toluene - ethyl acetate - diethyl amine 7:2:1. Detection at 254 nm and 366 nm, and by spraying with antimony tretrachloride and vanilin - sulphuric acid.

J. AOAC Int. 91, 1162-1167 (2008). HPTLC of curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin as standards on silica gel prewashed with methanol using chloroform - methanol 97:3 in a twin-trough chamber at 23 °C and 31 % relative humidity.
