J Chromatogr Sci. 2015 May-Jun;53(5):824-9. | Simultaneous quantification of biomarkers bergenin and menisdaurin in the methanol extract of aerial parts of Flueggea virosa by validated HPTLC densitometric method.[Pubmed: 25662964] | A simple, sensitive high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method was developed for the simultaneous quantification of biomarker bergenin and Menisdaurin in the methanol extracts of aerial parts of Flueggea virosa (FVME). METHODS AND RESULTS: Chromatography was performed on glass-backed silica gel 60F254 HPTLC plates using dichloromethane: methanol as mobile phase. Scanning and quantification was done at UV absorption maxima of 260 nm. The system was found to give compact spot for bergenin and Menisdaurin at Rf = 0.29 ± 0.01 and 0.16 ± 0.01, respectively. The linearity ranges for bergenin and Menisdaurin were found to be the same (100-800 ng/spot) with correlation coefficients (R(2) values) of 0.997 and 0.999, respectively. The limit of detection for bergenin and Menisdaurin was found to be 27 and 36.2 ng/band, respectively, while the limit of quantification was found to be 81 and 108 ng/band, respectively. Intra- and interday precisions (n = 6) for bergenin and Menisdaurin were found to be 1.41-1.71 and 1.65-1.87%, and 1.68-1.89 and 1.75-1.93%, respectively. The percent recoveries were found to be 98.7-99.4 and 99.5-99.9%, respectively, for bergenin and Menisdaurin. The percentage of bergenin and Menisdaurin was found to be 15.25 and 4.22% (w/w), respectively, in FVME.
CONCLUSIONS:
The developed method permitted the simultaneous quantification of bergenin and Menisdaurin and showed good resolution and separation from other constituents of extract; hence, the method can be used to standardize herbal formulations as well as bulk drugs for bergenin and Menisdaurin. |
