Abstract: An oscillopolarographic method (I) for the detn. of Veratrum alkaloids (glucoalkaloids, esters, and alkamines) (II) in various electrolytes on current and drop electrode and on the 1st curve is described. Jervine, rubijervine, and isorubijervine in the presence of each other were detd. qualitatively by I. I is a good method for the evaluation of the rate of sapon. of II and the rate of veratridine sapon. in 2N NaOH is shown. The type of alkamine component of veratridine, germerine, and protoveratridine can be detd. by oscillograms which show that the cuts developed after hydrolysis in every case agree in the shape and the position with the cuts of corresponding alkamines.
