Simultaneous Determination of Menthol and Eucalyptol by the Densitometric HPTLC Method in Some External Analgesic Formulations

Abstract: Several analgesic pharmaceutical formulations dispensed for external use contain menthol and eucalyptol. Simultaneous determination of the two monoterpenes was achieved utilizing highperformance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) densitometric analysis. The stationary phase composed of silica gel 60 F 254 (E-Merck, Germany) glass-backed plates coated with 0.2 mm layers. The used mobile phase hexane : ethyl acetate 8 : 2 (%, v/v) resulted in sharp, symmetrical and wellresolved peak at an R f value of 0.34 ± 0.04… Show more

“…LOQ of the proposed method was found to be 8.5 μg/spot. These values are relatively higher than those obtained in HPTLC studies where values are in the ng ranges (Abdel-Kader et al, 2016, Alam et al, 2016). The less sensitivity of the gel resulted from the high molecular weight of the enzymes comparing with the small molecules quantified on HPTLC.…”

“…ROS played a dual role in oxidative stress: directly destroying cellular components (DNA, proteins and lipids) and activating cellular machinery, which damages skin connective tissues jointly, leading to photoaging (38). Usually, endogenous antioxidant enzymes, such as SOD, CAT and HO-1, work in synchrony to eliminate ROS (36,37). However, excessive ROS induced by repetitive UVB irradiation overwhelms the endogenous antioxidant enzymes, and the accumulation of MDA is a marker for evaluating tissue oxidation (12).…”
