Ranitidine hydrochloride and its two related compounds, used in the USP TLC purity testing of the drug, were separated on a high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) RP-18 WF254S precoated plate using methanol-3% NH4OH (4:1, v/v) as the mobile phase. The main advantage of the proposed HPTLC system over the USP TLC system for testing the purity of ranitidine is a better and more efficient separation of these three compounds in a shorter time and with less consumption of solvents. The system is promising from the point of view of the development of a new method for the TLC purity testing of ranitidine hydrochloride. A video system was used for imaging thin-layer chromatograms. Direct UV densitometric quantitation of the three compounds and a model for the calculation of analytical performance parameters is presented in the second part of the paper.
Biosynthesis of polyprenols was investigated in a wild-type strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a squalene synthase deficient strain auxotrophic for ergosterol. The quantitative data showed that disruption of squalene synthase gene caused a 6-fold increase in the synthesis of polyprenols in vitro in comparison with the wild-type strain. Microsomal preparation from the deleted strain only slightly reacted to the additional exogenous FPP, while that from the wild-type strain presented a 4-fold increase of polyprenol synthesis. Restoration of ergosterol synthesis, by introducing ERG9 functional allele into the deleted strain resulted in a significant lowering of polyprenol synthesis, indicating the immediate shift of the common substrate (FPP) to the sterol pathway. The role of squalene synthase in the regulation of polyprenol synthesis and 'flow diversion hypothesis' is discussed.
In the corrosively aggressive medium of the oral cavity, the use of identical dental alloys requires identification of the existing metal construction. One of the methods allowing this identification is quantitative thin-layer chromatography with anodic sampling. Using a 4.5-V battery and suitable electrolytes, seven dental alloys for fixed and removable dentures based on cobalt were analysed. Chromatograms of alloy samples were developed with a mixture of acetone and 2 M HCl. Scanning of the thin-layer chromatographic spots produced chromatographic curves and the area under the curve was proportional to the content of cobalt in the alloy studied. Regression analysis showed a very high coefficient of correlation (r=0.999) between the area of the spot and the proportion of cobalt.
