Method development and validation for rapid extraction and identification of solanaceous alkaloids present in Chinese herbs.
Solanaceous alkaloids have been listed as poisons under the Schedule of the Poisons Act (Chapter 234) in Singapore. According to Health Sciences Authority’s (HSA) health supplements guidelines published on November 2008, such substances are not allowed in health supplements. Hence, analysis of these...
