    This study introduces a modified thin-layer chromatography (TLC) method using polyamide plates impregnated with propylene glycol for effective neutral steroid separation. The enhanced technique ensures complete resolution and quantitative recovery of steroids, offering advantages over existing methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Biochemistry
    • Chromatography

    Background:

    • Steroid separation is crucial in biochemical analysis.
    • Existing methods for steroid separation can be complex and time-consuming.
    • Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) offers potential for improved steroid analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an improved TLC method for neutral steroid separation.
    • To enhance the resolution and recovery of steroids using modified polyamide plates.
    • To assess the applicability of the method for analyzing biological samples.

    Main Methods:

    • Polyamide TLC plates (25 μm thick) were modified by impregnation with propylene glycol.
    • A mixture of four neutral steroids was applied and separated using a toluene mobile phase.

  • Detection and quantification were performed using a gas flow scanner or imaging analyzer.

    • Main Results:

    • Complete resolution of four neutral steroids (5α-androstan-3α,17β-diol, testosterone, 17β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-3-one, and 4-androstene-3,17-dione) was achieved.
    • Quantitative recovery of all separated steroids was obtained through elution.
    • The method allowed for efficient defatting of human serum extracts prior to steroid separation.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified TLC method provides an efficient and effective approach for neutral steroid separation.
    • The technique offers high resolution, quantitative recovery, and applicability to biological samples.
    • This method is adaptable for separating other non-polar compounds.
