Description A simple, rapid, cost-effective and accurate high performance thin layer chromatographic
method has been developed for quantification of valerenic acid in Valeriana jatamansi and
Valeriana officinalis which is one of the stable compounds of Valeriana officinalis and designated
as a key marker compound. Valerenic acid makes substantial contribution to the sedative
and spasmolytic activity of the essential oil and extract of Valeriana officinalis. Separation and
quantification was achieved by HPTLC using ternary mobile phase of hexane: ethyl acetate:
acetic acid (80:20:0.5 v/v) on precoated silica gel 60F254 aluminium plates and densitometric
determination was carried out after derivatization with anisaldehyde-sulphuric acid reagent at
700 nm, in absorption-reflectance mode. The calibration curves were linear in the range of
(500 ng–2.5 lg). This is the first HPTLC report for the identification and quantification of
valerenic acid in Valeriana jatamansi and Valeriana officinalis.
