    Journal: J Sep Sci; 2011 Feb; 34(3):286-91. PubMed ID: 21268251.
    Abstract:
    A sensitive, selective and robust densitometric high-performance thin layer chromatographic method was developed and validated for the determination of diterpenoids in the root bark of Premna integrifolia. Diterpenoids 1β,3α,8β-trihydroxy-pimara-15-ene (A), 6α,11,12,16-tetrahydroxy-7-oxo-abieta-8,11,13-triene (B) and 2α,19-dihydroxy-pimara-7,15-diene (C) were used as chemical markers for the standardization of P. integrifolia plant extracts. The separation was performed on silica gel 60F(254) high-performance thin layer chromatography plates using hexane/acetone/ethylacetate (60:20:20 v/v) as mobile phase. The quantitation of diterpenoids was carried out using densitometric reflection/absorption mode at 475 nm after post-chromatographic derivatization using vanillin-sulfuric acid reagent. A precise and accurate quantification can be performed for compounds A, B and C in the linear working concentration range of 1-10 μg/spot with good correlations (r(2) =0.9985, 0.9996 and 0.9992, respectively). The method was validated for peak purity, precision, robustness, limit of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) etc., as per the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. Specificity of quantitation was confirmed using retention factor (R(f)) and spectra correlation of markers in standard and sample tracks. The method reported here is simple and reproducible which may be applied for quantitative analysis of above diterpenoids in the root bark of P. integrifolia.
