A new method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of gallic acid and eugenol for the poly-herbal formulation. The HP-TLC (High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography) method was developed using pre-coated silica gel 60 F254 on aluminum plate and the solvent system used was iso propyl alcohol : hexane: ethyl acetate: glacial acetic acid (50:30:30:1 V/V) and scanned at 254 nm wavelength. The Rf value for gallic acid was 0.608±0.041 and 0.752±0.035 for eugenol. The range of linearity detected for gallic acid and eugenol was 2-10 ng µL-1. The method was validated in accordance with ICH (International Council for Harmonization) guidelines for linearity, range, LOD, LOQ, precision, specificity and robustness. The developed method was found to be easy, simple, selective, specific and robust.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
