HPTLC densitometric evaluation by simultaneous estimation of galangin inAlpinia galanga and Alpinia officinarum

[摘要] The aim of the work is to develop a simple, rapid, selective and cost effective HPTLC method for the determination of galangin in Alpinia galanga & Alpinia officinarum. The HPTLC densitometric technique was therefore, selected for the quantitative and qualitative determination of galangin in Alpinia galanga and Alpinia officinarum respectively. There are different analytical methods were used to isolate constituents from Alpinia galanga and Alpinia officinarum. Literature survey reveals that no HPTLC method so far is reported for the determination of galangin in Alpinia galangal & Alpinia officinarum. The present study describes HPTLC method for the qualitative and quantitative estimation of galangin. Both the methods were found to be simple, precise, specific, reproducible, sensitive and accurate and can be used for the quantitation of galangin and routine quality control of raw materials and formulations containing galangin.
