Separation of                         Isolation &

               individual alkaloids:

Fractional crystallization: It is usually preferred after converting alkaloidal .1
                           bases to salts as oxalates, tartrates, HCl, picrates,..etc.

PH gradient method: This method is suitable for separating alkaloids of .2
                                                                      different pKa values.
