Conclusions
-
1.
The results of experiments on the preparative isolation of alkaloids from splendid meadow saffron corms of different collections are presented.
-
2.
The content of colchamine and colchicine in the meadow saffron corms with shining scales is rather high and relatively stable from year to year during blooming.
-
3.
It was confirmed that meadow saffron corms differing in appearance of the covering scales also differ in their alkaloid content.
-
4.
It was shown that the green aboveground portions should not be used for the isolation of colchamine.
