Potential Application of Invasive Plant Species Datura innoxia for the Scopolamine Extracts of the Plant Organs and Analysis Using UV–VIS Spectrophotometry

Downy thorn-apple Datura innoxia (Solanaceae) is an invasive plant species which can be introduced either accidentally or deliberately and have the ability to acclimatize in new environmental conditions. Scopolamine a natural alkaloid occur several species, including innoxia. Occurrence of all organs crucially important from viewpoint medical use, but also as risk toxicity for humans animals, this paper presents influence alcoholic solvents on separation tropane alkaloids using conventional extraction method (Soxhlet extraction) order investigate content scopolamine dry biomass Romania at maturity stage. Two were selected, investigated compared, ethanol (96%) 1-butanol (99.6%). The results showed that was most suitable areal parts (leaves, flowers, seeds, stem root) then because high degree lipophilicity alkaloid. quantitative analysis performed UV–VIS spectrophotometry technique. calibration curve analyte under optimum conditions obtained with proper correlation coefficient 0.9930. identified vegetative higher concentration total (µg g−1) 186.87 leaves, 150.89 63.27 42.50 58.10 root. These studies provide insights into potential use alkaloids, especially different regarding therapeutic
