Quantitative Determination of Eugenol from Cinnamomum tamala Nees and Eberm. Leaf Powder and Polyherbal Formulation Using Reverse Phase Liquid Chromatography

A simple, rapid and precise reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the quantitative determination of eugenol from the extract of dried powder of Cinnamomum tamala leaves and its polyherbal formulation. Chromatographic analysis was carried out on Zorbax C₁₈ column (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with a mobile phase of mixture of water, acetonitrile and methanol in the volume ratio of 50:40:10, at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min^-1. Quantitation was performed using a UV-visible detector at 210 nm. Good linearity was obtained over the ranges of 0.20–3.0 μg mL^-1 for eugenol.     

Quantitation of Eugenol, Cinnamaldehyde and Isoeugenol from Cinnamomum tamala Nees and Eberm. Leaf Powder and Cinnamomum zeylanicum Breyn Stem Bark Powder by LC

An LC method has been developed for the simultaneous quantitative determination of eugenol, cinnamaldehyde and isoeugenol from dried leaf powder of Cinnamomum tamala Nees & Eberm and stem bark powder of Cinnamomum zeylanicum Breyn. Linear responses for eugenol, cinnamaldehyde and isoeugenol were obtained over the concentration ranges of 0.20–2.50, 5.00–100.00 and 0.10–1.00 μg mL^?1, respectively.

Inhibition of Swarming motility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by Methanol extracts of Alpinia officinarum Hance. and Cinnamomum tamala T. Nees and Eberm

Bacterial drug resistance is a challenge in clinical settings, especially in countries like India. Hence, discovery of novel alternative therapeutics has become a necessity in the fight against drug resistance. Compounds that inhibit bacterial virulence properties form new therapeutic alternatives. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic, nosocomial pathogen that infects immune-compromised patients. Swarming motility is an important virulence property of Pseudomonas which aids it in reaching host cells under nutrient limiting conditions. Here, we report the screening of five plant extracts against swarming motility of P. aeruginosa and show that methanol extracts of Alpinia officinarum and Cinnamomum tamala inhibit swarming motility at 5 μg mL^?1 without inhibiting its growth. These extracts did not inhibit swimming and twitching motilities indicating a mode of action specific to swarming pathway. Preliminary experiments indicated that rhamnolipid production was not affected. This study reveals the potential of the two plants in anti-virulence drug discovery.

Estimation of Alprazolam and Sertraline in Pure Powder and Tablet Formulations by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography

Abstract

This article describes validated high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) and high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) methods for simultaneous estimation of alprazolam (ALZ) and sertraline (SER) in pure powder and tablet formulation. The HPLC separation was achieved on a Nucleosil C18 column (150 mm long, 4.6 mm i.d., and 5-µm particle size) using acetonitrile and phosphate buffer (50 + 50 v/v), pH 5.5, as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min at ambient temperature. The HPTLC separation was achieved on an aluminum-backed layer of silica gel 60 F₂₅₄ using acetone/toluene/ammonia (6.0:3.0:1.0, v/v/v) as the mobile phase. Quantification with the HPLC method was achieved with ultraviolet (UV) detection at 230 nm over the concentration range 3–18 µg/mL for both drugs with mean recovery of 101.86 ± 0.21 and 100.57 ± 0.31% for ALZ and SER, respectively. Quantification in HPTLC was achieved with UV detection at 230 nm over the concentration range of 400–1400 ng/spot for both drugs with mean recoveries of 101.32 ± 0.15 and 100.38 ± 0.51% for ALZ and SER, respectively. These methods are rapid, simple, precise, sensitive, and are applicable for the simultaneous determination of ALZ and SER in pure powder and formulations.
