A reversed phase HPLC method for the separation of the five major alka
loids from Papaver somniferum L., morphine, codeine, thebaine, papaver
ine and noscapine, has been developed and validated. By use of a base-
deactivated silica-based stationary phase excellent peak shape was ach
ieved for each substance. The five alkaloids were quantified by intern
al standardization within 20 min and with good precision. The method i
s applicable to opium and to poppy straw.
