Silicic acid thin-layer chromatography of conjugated and free bile acids
MN Chavez and CL Krone
The separation of free bile acids, taurine conjugates, and glycine
conjugates from one another was achieved by thin-layer chromatography,
using a solvent system of isopropanol glacial acetic acid 93:7 in a solvent
system of hexane-methylethylketone-glacial acetic acid 56:36:8 (v/v), it
was possible to separate cholic, chenodeoxycholic, deoxycholic, and
lithocholic acids. Application to a biological bile sample was
demonstrated.
