TLC condition was developed for its simple separation and quantitative analysis of lactic acid. Rapid and clear separation of lactic acid by silica gel TLC plate was obtained by using nitromethane : 1-propanol : $H_2O$ (2 : 5 : 1.5, v/v/v) and a suitable dipping solution of 40 mg bromocresol purple in 100 mL 5% ethanol (pH 10.0). The lactic acid was shown as a bright yellow spot on a light cinnabar background. The quantitatively detectable concentration range of lactic acid was between 0.5 and 4% with 99.4%, confidence. Quantitative TLC analysis result was confirmed with HPLC and with enzymatic Quantitative analysis methods (by using lactate dehydrogenase).

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Injin butanol fractions with Thin Layer Chromatography on Fas-mediated Apoptosis. Method: Injin-butanol fraction separated by TLC. MIT assay, cell cycle analysis, Caspase-3 protease assay, DNA fragmentation assay and quantitative RT-PCR were performed to evaluate the effects of TLC extraction of lnjin-butanol fraction on cell viability, cell cycle progression and apoptosis. Results: Scopoletin, luteolin, apigenin and unknown powder was isolated by TLC. Fas-mediated apoptosis analysis shows that scopoletin has inhibiting function on apoptosis. Caspase- 3 protease assay analysis shows that scopoletin inhibits activity of caspase-3. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis shows that no activity on caspase-3, but apoptosis inhibition cytokine -Bcl-2- is activated, and apoptosis activating cytokine -Bax- is unactivated. Conclusion: These results show that each fraction of Injin-butanol TLC extraction, especially scopoletin, acts as a protective function on liver cell viability, and inhibitory function on apoptosis.

We analyzed glycerol using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and compared the separation resolution of some mobile phases. When acetonitrile:distilled water (85:15 v/v) was used as a mobile phase, the band of glycerol on the TLC was more distinctly and rapidly separated. Using TLC analysis, we prepared a calibration curve for the glycerol concentration vs. the area of the glycerol band in which the glycerol concentration of the x-axis was converted into a log-scale ranging from 3.0 to 0.0625 (%, w/v). Based on this calibration curve, the residual glycerol concentration (0.2 [%, w/v]) in biodiesel was determined successfully using TLC analysis. When the results of the TLC analysis were compared with those of a chemical and enzymatic assay, the results were fairly similar. We conclude that TLC without additional analytical instruments can be used as an alternative method for the quantitative analysis of the concentration of glycerol in biodiesel.

This research was aimed to investigate and compare the effectiveness of TLC and GC-MS methods in the analysis of chromophoric substances extracted from madder plant. Alizarin and purpurin 0.3% solution were used as comparative standards; madder extraction was prepared by heating the solution of powdered madder at 80℃, pH 1.5, for 90 min. Best elution solvent for TLC in silica gel plate was toluene:ethyl acetate=9:1, which resulted in red and yellow spots from madder extraction each of which showed R/sub f/ values 0.32-0.43 and 0.07-0.11. Although the red spot in particular exhibited similar characteristics as standard purpurin in color, shape, and R/sub f/ values, the result was inconsistent throughout different TLC trials. GC-MS analysis showed only small amount of alizarin and no purpurin in the madder extraction. Other chromophoric substance such as 2-furancarboxaldehyde, 5-(hydroxymethyl)-, anthralin, and danthron were also detected in small amounts. The result indicated that TLC was less sensitive to detecting and identifying the natural dyestuff which is generally constituted with a number of similar but chemically different chromophoric substances.

We describe here the conditions of thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high pressures liquid chromatography (HPLC) to improve the analytical method of phosphotyrosine (p-Tyr) in biological sample. TLC was performed on silica plate with the mixture of propanol and water (2.1 : 1 v/v) as a mobile phase and $R_1$ values were 0.42, 0.39 and 0.33 for phosphotyrosine, phosphothreonine and phosphoserine, respectively. HPLC was performed on $NH_2$ column with a mobile phase of potassium biphosphate solution by UV deterction at 192 nm. The optimum condition of HPLC was obtained at 0.01 M, pH 4.5 with a clear separation within 12 min. These procedures have been applied to the analysis of phosphotyrosine obtained from tyrosine-phosphorylated enolase. Both TLC and HPLC methods were suitable to analyze tyrosine-phosphorylated protein without being affected by contaminants from hydrolysates.

A preliminary experiment was performed to develop a fast, convenient, and economical semi-quantitative method of analyzing amphetamine-like amines from images of derivatives. These were generated from the reaction (in situ, co-spot) of three amphetamine-like compounds with three derivatization reagents on a TLC plate. The attempt was made to optimize the reaction conditions for an efficient derivatization reaction, and TLC images taken by a digital camera were analyzed using two types of image analysis program (CP Atlas 2.0 and ImageJ) for repeatability (RSD, %) and linearity (R²). Then, their results were compared. For efficient derivatization, the reaction conditions needed to be modified. The results of image analysis of each of the samples at two different concentrations (0.5 mg/mL and 0.01 mg/mL) showed that the RSD values for reaction repeatability were in the range of 0.69-5.50%. From the calibration curves between the area of the derivative and the concentration of amines, the R² values (R² > 0.9906) for good linear correlation were found to be high, in a concentration range of 0.1-0.005 mg/mL of amines. In addition, the two programs demonstrated little difference in the analysis of repeatability and linearity of the derivatization, so that the current method has the potential to be used for the semi-quantitative analysis of amines.

In the previous study, we reported the antioxidative activity, antiaging activity, antibacterial activity and moisturizing effect of cream containing Persicaria hydropiper L. extract. In this study, the components of Persicaria hydropiper L. extract were analyzed by TLC and HPLC. Aglycone fractions obtained from the deglycosylation reaction of ethyl acetate fraction among the Persicaria hydropiper L. extract, showed 2 bands and 2 peaks in TLC and HPLC experiments, respectively. Two components were identified as quercetin and kaempferol. TLC chromatogram of ethyl acetate fraction of Persicaria hydropiper L. extract revealed 6 bands and HPLC chromatogram showed 7 peaks, which were identified as quercetin, hyperin, isoquercitrin, quercitrin, kaempferol. In conclusion, with the antioxidative activity, antiaging activity, antibacterial activity and moisturizing effect reported previously, component analysis of Persicaria hydropiper L. extracts could be applicable to new cosmeceuticals.
