Successful separation of poisonous alkaloids of aconitine group and non-poisonous benzoylaconine or aconine in aconite tuber was effected by multi-buffered paper chromatography, from which poisonous alkaloid group was eluted out with 95% ethanol and submitted to determination. By this means, sum of content of aconitine and its analogues except jesaconitine was obtained as expressed by aconitine value.Read More
