To eliminate gramine from extractions, so far there havent been many tested methods but potentially extracting with aliphatic naphtha/hexane/heptane/petroleum ether, and recrystallizing in one of these solvents should get rid of it considering Merck Index indicates it is not soluble in those solvents, as written in the chemical properties link above.

What is gramine

  • Gramine is an indole alkaloid present in some plants such as Phalaris, Phargmites, and Arundo spp. While it has been previously feared by some to be potentially toxic, recent evidence shows it to have very low toxicity (relative to other alkaloids such as tryptamines) and to have potential antimutagenic effects. It is found most commonly in Avena sativa (Oats). [1] [2]

Gramine (3-(dimethylaminomethyl)-indole) properties http://wiki.dmt-nexus.me/Psychedelic_Compounds_Chemical_and_Physical_Properties#Gramine]

Extractions

Gramine is not soluble in naphtha or petroleum ether, therefore extractions using these solvents will not contain gramine. It is soluble in ethanol.

Analysis

Gramine and other alkaloid's Rf for TLC and column chromatography
