ANALYSIS AND CHROMATOGRAPHIC-SEPARATION OF SOME STEROID-HORMONES ON NH2 LAYERS

The previously described analytical method for carbohydrates, catechol amines, uric acid, creatine and creatinine using thin-layer chromatogr aphy on amino-modified HPTLC plates and subsequent thermal activation of the chromatogram zones is expanded to include several steroid hormo nes. Specifically, they are the pharmacologically relevant compounds c ortisone and hydrocortisone, estradiol and estradiol benzoate, estriol , estrone, methyltestosterone, testosterone and testosterone propionat e, prednisolone, pregnandiol and triol, progesterone and Reichstein's S.
