Thin-layer chromatograms were made of some turpentines, organic peroxides, and epoxides, and sprayed to detect peroxides. Benzoyl peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, and painters' turpentine gave the most prominent spots. Only one of the three epoxides tested, styrene oxide, showed peroxide. Many more peroxides were present in "aged" turpentine than in freshly prepared samples. As aged turpentine has most effect on fowl plasma α-lipoprotein, chemical differences between samples should be considered when turpentines are used in experimental pathology.

Holoptelea integrifolia Roxb. Planch (HI) has been used to treat various ailments including obesity, osteoarthritis, arthritis, inflammation, anemia, diabetes etc. To review the major phytochemicals and medicinal properties of HI, exhaustive bibliographic research was designed by means of various scientific search engines and databases. Only 12 phytochemicals have been reported including biologically active compounds like betulin, betulinic acid, epifriedlin, octacosanol, Friedlin, Holoptelin-A and Holoptelin-B. Analytical methods including the Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Liquid Chromatography With Mass Spectral (LC-MS) analysis have been used to analyze the HI. From medicinal potency point of view, these phytochemicals have a wide range of pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor. In the current review, it has been noticed that the mechanism of action of HI with biomolecules has not been fully explored. Pharmacology and toxicological studies are very few. This seems a huge literature gap to be fulfilled through the detailed in-vivo and in-vitro studies.

SUMMARY The effects of dibutyryl cyclic 3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate (DBc-AMP) on the mouse thyroid gland have been investigated in the in-vitro assay of Brown & Munro (1967). The distribution of 131I-labelled compounds in the glands and the supporting medium have been analysed by thin-layer chromatography and the changes induced by cyclic 3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate (c-AMP), DBc-AMP or thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) compared. The release of 131I was increased when the glands were incubated with DBc-AMP, c-AMP or TSH. The potency of DBc-AMP was approximately 50 times that of c-AMP on a basis of molarity. Like TSH, DBc-AMP increased the proportion of iodothyronines in the system as a whole, whereas c-AMP had little effect. The possible explanations for this are discussed.

Purpose: To develop a high performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC procedure for quantitation of apigenin in ethanol extract of Matricaria chamomilla (Babunaj) flowers, and to evaluate the extract for in vitro cytotoxic effect on MCF-7 cell lines. Methods: Quantification of apigenin was carried out using a CAMAG TLC system. A combination of toluene, ethyl acetate and formic acid (4.5:3.5:0.2 v/v/v) was used as mobile phase, with densitometry detection at 336 nm. The HPTLC procedure was subjected to validation as per ICH guidelines. The cytotoxicity of the extract was assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Results: A sharp apigenin band at Rf of 0.51 was obtained, and the content of apigenin in the extract was 0.062 % w/w. The detection limit (LOD) and quantification limit (LOQ) were 0.19 and 0.57 ng/band, respectively. MTT assay results indicate that M. chamomilla was cytotoxic to Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) cells, with half-maximal concentration (IC50) of 74 µg/mL. Conclusion: The developed HPTLC method is linear, precise, accurate and specific for the determination of apigenin. M. chamomilla exerts cytotoxic effect on MCF-7 cell line via induction of apoptosis.

[1-l4C]Dolichol was mixed in vitro with sunflower seed oil and intubated into rats. Radioactivity began to appear in the blood at 3 h and peaked after about 6 h. The absorbed radioactivity was rapidly cleared from the blood. At 7.5 h postintubation two thirds of the radioactivity in the serum was associated with chylomicrons and about one quarter with the high density lipoproteins. At 12 h the proportion of the radioactivity in the chylomicrons had fallen to one third and that in the high density lipoproteins had increased to one half of the total. Less than 0.02% of the dose was found in the tissues after 12 h. Liver and blood each contained about one third of the total, with smaller amounts in the lungs and spleen. The heart, testes, brain, and kidneys contained only traces of radioactivity. After 12 h most of the radioactivity in the tissues and feces was present as [1-l4C]dolichol. The radioactive compounds in the urine (about 0.05% of the dose) were more polar than [1-l4C]dolichol as determined by thin-layer chromatography.
