Detection of Griseofulvin and Dechlorogriseofulvin by Thin-Layer Chromatography and Gas-Liquid Chromatography

摘要

A rapid and accurate method is described for the determination of griseofulvin and dechlorogriseofulvin extracted from Penicillium urticae with chloroform. Thinlayer chromatography was used to tentatively identify griseofulvin or dechlorogriseofulvin, or both. Two gas-liquid chromatographic systems provided additional qualitative information and simultaneous quantitation of the individual compounds.
