ABSTRACT
The aim of the research was to develop a method for quantitative determination of cytisine in Spartium junceum L. We used the above-ground parts of plants. In developing a method of analysis we used the method of 3-phase extraction. In this case the best results were obtained in the system: chopped raw material - water solution of ammonia - chloroform. In this case, the amount of alkaloids extracted almost entirely from the plant and goes into the chloroform phase. Evaluation of the results was carried out by the validation. The method for determination of cytisine in raw product was proposed. The method comprises the following steps-extraction of raw materials extracting chloroform phase and its evaporation, the translation of solids in methanol, the chromatographic separation cytisine and its fixation of the spectrophotometer method. The method is reproducible, has the required accuracy, is easy to analysis (less than 9 hours).
