A fast and simple method for GC–MS quantification of galanthamine in Hippeastrum papilio (Ravena) Van Sheepen and assessment of its alkaloid fractions

The method describes the fastest and simplest extraction procedure and direct aqueous injection into the GC-MS for quantification of galanthamine in plant material. As compared to the LC-MS, the use of EIMS detector provides important information and advantage in the assessment of alkaloid fractions from new plant sources of galanthamine.
