β¦ Synopsis
Following the acid-dye technique, hyoscyamine (or atropine) could he selectively determined in the presence of scopolamine, using bromcresol purple at pH 6.6. Total alkaloids were determined using bromthymol blue at pH 5.6. By referring to calibration curves of the two alkaloids with the appropriate dye, the concentration of each alkaloid in the mixture could be computed. The suggested procedure was adopted to analyze the two alkaloids in synthetic mixtures. As low as 0.05 mg. of each alkaloid could be estimated, with average percentage recoveries of 98.6 and 101.5 for hyoscyamine and scopolamine, respectively. Tincture of belladonna was assayed following a modification of the suggested method. The results obtained were comparable with those obtained following the BP method.

Hyoscyamine and scopolamine as free bases were simultaneously quantitated by GLC, using tetraphenylethylene as an internal standard. A linear relationship was found between the ratios of the integrated peak areas of alkaloid to the internal standard and the actual weight ratios of alkaloid to the in
