title: Optical purity determination of thyroxine enantiomers in bulk materials by chiral thin layer chromatography.
abstract: L-thyroxine and D-thyroxine were separated on ligand exchange chiral thin layer chromatographic plates, using a solvent system consisting of acetonitrile:methanol:water 60:15:15 v/v, at a wavelength of 254 nm. The methodology, chiral recognition mechanism(s) involved and its application are discussed.
