It notes that the review of the literature on the analysis of lycorine a lack of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems was found. It states that HPLC procedure for the separation and quantification of lycorine from the acidic extract of Sternbergia lutea has been reported by Evidence. It also provides charts on the assay results of the species.
