✦ Synopsis

A reliable method is described for the extraction of unchanged ibogaine from biological materials such as blood, urine, and tissue homogenates of liver, kidney, and brain by a simple extraction for basic drugs. Precise identijcation of the alkaloid may be achieved through the use of thin-layer chromatography, ultraviolet and infrared spectrophotometry.
