Abstract
The chemical compositions of homeopathic mother tinctures (HMT) from the two snowdrop species Galanthus woronowii Losinsk. and Galanthus nivalis L. were compared using gas chromatography with mass-selective detection (GC-MS). A total of 13 compounds were identified in G. woronowii HMT; 42, in G. nivalis HMT. The common constituents of the two tinctures were ethyl-α-D-glucopyranoside, ethyl-α-D-riboside, ethyl linoleate, and 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one. The main marker compounds (galantamine and licorine) were determined. Their contents were used to standardize the homeopathic drugs.
