“…5 A literature survey revealed several other methods proposed for the determination of BTC from various matrices such as pure form, human plasma and urine, rat plasma and tissue, cream, and water samples. These methods include ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC) with UV detection, 6 reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) with UV detection, 7 high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC)-densitometry, 8 fabric phase sorptive extraction-HPLC with photodiode array detection (FPSE-HPLC-PDA), 9 microextraction by packed sorbent-HPLC (MEPS-HPLC-DAD), 10 liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), 11 , 12 capillary electrophoresis (CE), 13 and spectrophotometry. 14 Since BTC is a chiral molecule, liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) was proposed to detect its enantiomers.…”
