Abstract

In flowerheads of Arnica montana, A. chamissonis ssp. foliosa, A. amplexicaulis, and A. sachalinensis, traces of the non-toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids tussilagine and isotussilagine were detected. Their identity was unambiguously confirmed by direct comparison (TLC, GC, GC/MS) with the authentic samples.
