Article Abstract
In this study, we investigated a new, simple, sensitive, selective and precise high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) fingerprint and quantitative estimation method for the routine analysis of curcumin in Curcuma species viz. Curcuma amada, Curcuma caesia, Curcuma longa and Curcuma zedoaria. Linear ascending development was carried out in a twin-trough glass chamber saturated with toluene:acetic acid (4:1; v/v with 20 minutes of saturation). The plate was dried and analyzed by CAMAG TLC scanner III at white light and 366 nm. The system was found to give compact spots for curcumin (Rf 0.42). The relationship between the concentration of standard solutions and the peak response is linear within the concentration range of 10-70 ng/spot for curcumin. In result, curcumin was not detected in any of C. caesia extracts. The percentage of curcumin was found between 0.042 and 4.908 (%w/w) in different Curcuma species obtained by two different extraction methods viz. Soxhlet and sonication, respectively. Further, extraction via Soxhlet method is most suitable method to get higher curcumin content from rhizomes. The proposed HPTLC method may be use for routine quality testing and quantification of curcumin in Curcuma samples.

Rationale: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of neurodevelopmental and multifactorial conditions with cognitive manifestations. The valproic acid (VPA) rat model is a well-validated model that successfully reproduces the behavioral and neuroanatomical alterations of ASD. Previous studies found atypical brain connectivity and metabolic patterns in VPA animals: local glucose hypermetabolism in the prefrontal cortex, with no metabolic changes in the hippocampus.

Terminalia arjuna, an important medicinal plant in traditional Indian systems, has been extensively studied for its cardioprotective bark. However, limited attention has been given to its fruit, which contains several biologically active phytochemicals with potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. This study aimed to isolate and partially purify phytoactive compounds from the fruit of T.

The study aimed to develop a series of Ga-labeled receptor tyrosine kinase orphan receptor 1 (ROR1)-targeted peptides and demonstrate the ability to evaluate the ROR1 expression of tumors. Three ROR1-targeted peptides (PR3, PR7, and 1036) were modified for connecting to 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) and then labeled with Ga. The radiolabeling yields of Ga-labeled ROR1-targeted peptides were assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography, and their stabilities were evaluated by thin-layer chromatography.

The development of steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia remains challenging, primarily due to the unavailability of a crystal structure for human steroid 5α-reductase type-1 (SRD5A1) and the adverse effects associated with existing steroidal therapeutic agents such as finasteride and dutasteride. In this study, hydroxycinnamate derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against SRD5A1 using an immortalized human keratinocyte cell-based assay coupled with nonradioactive high-performance thin-layer chromatography analysis. Three ferulate derivatives featuring 2',5'-, 3',4'-, and 3',5'-bis-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl substituents (, , and ) demonstrated inhibitory activity with half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC) of 8.
