Investigation of alkaloids of Anabasis aphylla (chenopodiaceae)‎

الملخص EN

The aerial part of Iraqi Anabasis aphylla (Chenopodiaceae) had been inv estigated for its alkaloidal contents.The alkaloid anabasine [2-(3-pyridyl)-piperidine] [1] & aphy llidine were isolated from an ethanolic extract of the plant.

Isolation of the alkaloid was done by column chromatography followed by preperative thin layer chromatography .

Identification of the isolated alkaloid was done by different spectroscopic methods (UV,IR), refractive index & TLC using authentic sample & preparation of a salt.
