The bioactive molecule, α-amyrin acetate, was isolated from the nhexane extract Streblus asper stem bark by column chromatography. The structure of the compound was characterized with the help of physical and spectroscopic data. A high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method has been developed and validated for its quantification in S. asper leaf, stem bark, and root. Chromatographic separation of the compound was achieved on high-performance precoated TLC plates by using optimized binary mobile phase consisting of n-hexane-ethyl acetate (9.6:0.4, v/v). HPTLC scanning was performed at 472 nm after derivatization of the plate with methanol-sulphuric acid reagent in reflection/absorption mode. The method was validated according to International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) protocol for specificity, sensitivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, repeatability, and robustness. The developed method is found to be very simple, rapid, precise, sensitive, and accurate for the quantification of α-a...
