Detection of ranitidine by thin layer chromatography technique–A case study

In one case, viscera of a lady was received, who expired following injection given by doctor in urban area. After conducting elaborate analysis data were found similar to Ranitidine. Hence, it was thought worthwhile to concentrate on this drug. The present paper describes the extraction of Ranitidine from visceral material and its identification by thin layer chromatography using suitable solvent system and potassium iodo bismuthate as locating reagent.
