This paper studies the formation and extraction of ion pairs of some alkaloids derived from pyrrolizidine.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
The substances studied are Nemorensine, Platyphylline, Senecionine and Seneciphylline, and the ion pairs studied and extracted are formed with Bil4. The method consists of extracting an ion pair between the organic base and the inorganic complex, the metal is measured in the organic phase (1,2 dichloroethane) by Flame AAS. The optimal experimental conditions, pH, concentration of BiI4 , shaking time, phase ratio, number of extractions, and the range of calibration are studied for these substances. The linear range in organic phase is 0.13–1.91 mg.mL.
CONCLUSIONS:
The standard deviation of the method varies between 2.4–3.2%, depending on the substance analyzed. The interferences produced by various substances are studied. |
