In this paper,we used acid-base titration to determine the content of total alkaloid in Excoecaria venenata extracted by different methods.The contents of 2,2,6,6-tetramethy1-4-piperidone(TMPD)and aminoadantane(AAT)in same plant were determined by gas chromatography(GC).The result showed that the most quantity of alkaloid was got with 2%HCI aqueous solution.The content of total alkaloid in the dry leaves was 0.554%.The contemts of TMPD and AAT were 1.94%and 1.62×10-2%in the fresh leaves,respectively.
