Background: High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) is an advantageous, modern analytical technique based on the principles of thin-layer chromatography (TLC), which provides essential benefits, such as improved sample application, better and faster separation, and less mobile phase usage. The aim of this work was to develop a simple and rapid HPTLC method that could be used for the identification of meloxicam and piroxicam. Methods: HPTLC. An analysis was carried out using silica gel 60 F254 glass TLC plates and as the mobile phase: hexane: ethyl acetate: glacial acetic acid, in a ratio of 65:30:5 v/v/v. For the standard solution preparation, ethanol was used. Front: 60 mm. Detection was performed at 366 nm. Results: The Rf value for meloxicam was 0.81 and the Rf value for piroxicam was 0.57. The proposed method can be used in the detection of the analyzed compounds in very low concentrations. It was established that the detection limit of meloxicam was 0.04 μg per band and that of piroxicam was 0.05 μg per band. It was also established that the quantitation limit of meloxicam was 0.12 μg per band and that of piroxicam was 0.15 μg per band. Conclusions: The proposed method is simple, sensitive, stable, cost effective, and eco-friendly. It could be used in research or for routine quality control purposes.
