Abstract
A quantitative method using silica gel 60F254 high performance thin layer chromatography plates, automated bandwise sample application, and automated visible mode densitometric method has been developed for the determination of 24β-ethylcholesta-5,22E,25-triene-3β-ol (ECTO) in the aerial part of Clerodendrum phlomidis. ECTO was used as a chemical marker for the standardization of C. phlomidis plant extracts. The separation was performed on silica gel 60F254 TLC plates using chloroform-methanol (98.5: 1.5, v/v) as mobile phase. The quantitation of ECTO was carried out using the densitometric reflection/absorption mode at 650 nm after post chromatographic derivatization with anisaldehyde reagent. A precise and accurate quantification can be performed in the linear working concentration range of 150–400 ng band−1 with good correlation (r 2 = 0.996). The method was validated for peak purities, precision, robustness, limit of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ), etc. as per ICH guidelines.
