Abstrakt: This short communication describes the characterization of seven tropane alkaloid compounds in Atropa belladonna L. Thus a rapid and easy CE-electrospray interface (ESI)-TOF-MS procedure is developed to analyze these compounds in a pharmaceutical preparations of A. belladonna L. leaf extract. Optimum electrophoretic separation is obtained using an alkaline solution of 60 mM ammonium acetate at pH 8.5 containing 5% isopropanol. Under the optimum CE-ESI-TOF-MS conditions several important compounds such as tropine, belladonnine, norhyoscyamine, apoatropine, hyoscyamine, 6beta-hydroxyhyoscyamine, and scopolamine have been simultaneously identified from A. belladonna L. CE-ESI-IT-MS has been used to discriminate the putative presence of littorine. The sensitivity, together with mass accuracy and true isotopic pattern of the TOF-MS, allowed the identification of a broad series of tropane alkaloid compounds present in pharmaceutical preparations of A. belladonna L. leaf extract.
