Abstract
A high-performance thin layer chromatographic (HPTLC) procedure for the cha racterization of adulteration of "espinheira santa" (Maytenus ilicifolia an d Maytenus aquifolium, Celastraceae) with Sorocea bomplandii (Moraceae), by monitoring their flavonoid content with the aid of diphenylboric acid-2-am inoethylester-polyethylene glycol 400 reagent, is presented. HPTLC data sho wed the predominance of highly glycosylated quercetin and kaempferol deriva tives. The derivatized flavonoids were shown to be the best markers for dis tinguishing between authentic and adulterated drug samples, with several ad vantages over triterpene analysis.
