Abstract
A densitometric TLC method was developed for quantification of aminacrine hydrochloride in creams, jellies, and suppositories. Aminacrine was extracted into acidic ethanol, diluted to a known volume, and separated by high performance silica gel TLC. The fluorescence of aminacrine zones in samples and standards was compared by in situ scanning. Recoveries of aminacrine from authentic samples ranged from 95.4 to 103.4%.
