GLC method for assay of forskolin, a novel positive inotropic and blood pressure-lowering agent

Rapid Analysis of Small Samples Containing Forskolin Using Monoclonal Antibodies

“…Our results indicate that the ELISA and HPLC methods closely correlate over the range of concentrations found in the plant tissue. The ELISA system established in this study was more sensitive than the TLC (16), GLC (17),or HPLC methods (3,16).…”

Quantitative Determination of Forskolin by TLC and HPLC

“…Different rapid, precise methods for the quantitative estimation of forskotin such as thin layer chromatography (TLC), gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) have been developed in our laboratories (4,5). A GLC method for the assay of forskolin in plant extracts and pharmaceutical preparations has been reported (4). In this paper, TLC and HPLC methods are described for the assay of forskolin.…”

Phytochemical Investigation of Ocimum Basilicum L. And Its Hypotensive and Cardiovascular Activity

“…Study of the semipurified extract of Ocimum basilcum L. herb revealed the isolation and identification of Forskolin (Labdane diterpenoid) by means of its optication rotation, melting point, mixed melting point (showed no depression), IR, PMR, C-13 NMR, and MS spectra and comparison with those reported for authentic Forskolin in the literature. [25][26][27][28][29][30] Forskolin is a potent bronchodilator hypotensive and cardiac stimulant agent. It has been successfully evaluated in numerous clinical studies including bronchial asthma, cardiovascular diseases, glaucoma, sexual dysfunction in men and dermatological diseases.…”
