A thin layer chromatographic-densitometric method has been developed for identification and quantitative determination of neomycin derivative with dabsyl chloride. The analysis of antibiotic was achieved on the silica gel TLC plates with fluorescent indicator with n-butanol--2-butanone--25% ammonia--water (10 : 6 : 2 : 2, v/v/v/v) as the mobile phase. The densitometric measurements were made at 460 nm. Under these conditions good separation of chosen aminoglycoside antibiotic from reagent used to make a complex was obtained. The method is characterized by high sensitivity, LOD from 0.1953 μg per band and LOQ from 0.5918 μg per band, wide linearity range from 0.5918 to 2.1960 μg per band for neomycin. The precision of the method was good; RSD varied from 1.17 to 2.05%. Satisfactory results of validation of the method were also confirmed by determination of selected antibiotic in pharmaceutical commercial preparation. The results obtained by TLC-densitometric method were compared with those obtained by spectrophotometric method.
