SEPARATION OF APORPHINE ALKALOIDS BY MICELLAR ELECTROKINETIC CHROMATOGRAPHY

The separation of nine aporphine alkaloids, lindcarpine, laurolitsine, N-methyllindcarpine, boldine, norpredicentrine, isocorydine, laurotet anine, N-methyllaurotetanine and isoboldine, was investigated by micel lar electrokinetic chromatography. Optimization of separation was real ized with the univariate approach by studying the effects of five fact ors relevant to run buffer on migration times. Quantitative analysis o n a Lauraceous plant showed a similar result to that obtained with HPL C previously performed.
