    This study presents a new thin-layer chromatography method for quantifying free and conjugated bile acids. The technique is sensitive, accurately measuring as little as 0.1 microgram of bile acids in biological samples.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Chromatography

    Background:

    • Bile acids are crucial for digestion and metabolic regulation.
    • Accurate quantification of bile acids is essential for diagnosing various diseases.
    • Existing methods may lack sensitivity or require complex sample preparation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel, sensitive method for quantifying total free and conjugated bile acids.
    • To enable direct determination of bile acids using thin-layer chromatography.
    • To apply the method for analyzing bile acids in crude fecal extracts.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized silica gel HR coated thin-layer chromatography plates for separation.
    • Employed specific solvent systems for free (ethyl acetate:isooctane:glacial acetic acid) and conjugated (chloroform:methanol:glacial acetic acid:water) bile acid separation.

  • Quantified bile acids directly in silica gel areas using resazurin reagent in tris buffer.

    • Main Results:

    • Developed a quantitative method for bile acid determination.
    • Achieved high sensitivity, with a limit of detection as low as 0.1 microgram.
    • Successfully applied the method to analyze bile acids in crude fecal extracts.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed thin-layer chromatography method offers a sensitive and quantitative approach for bile acid analysis.
    • This method is suitable for determining both free and conjugated bile acids.
    • The technique is applicable to complex biological matrices like fecal extracts.
