Vincent and Engelke carried out an isocratic HPLC separation of the five major opium alkaloids in Papaver sornniferum and of thebaine in P. braeteatum on microparticulate silica gel for a quantitative determination of the alkaloids. A mobile phase consisting of four components n-hexane - dichloromethane - ethanol - diethylamine (300 30 40 0.5) separated the five major opium alkaloids (TABLE 7.7, Fig. 7.12). By altering the ratio dichloromethane - ethanol, the retention of the alkaloids could be varied. Capsular tissue extracts could be analyzed directly.

Figure 4.17 Reduced diffusion coefficient as a function of molecular size. Hydrodynamic radii were determined from the diffusion coefficient in water according to Equation 4-4. (a) Diffusion of proteins and peptides in mid-cycle human cervical mucus [5], Measurements were performed by FPR (squares) or quantitative imaging of fluorescence profiles (circles), (b) Protein and dextran diffusion through granulation (squares) or tumor tissue (circles) in the rabbit ear [20, 21]. (c) Glucose diffusion through capsular tissue (squares) and cartilage (circles and triangles) [92]. Each symbol represents a separate measurement.
