| Process step | Operation |
|---|---|
| 1 | Extraction and fractionation to yield Fraction 1 |
| 2 | (S)-nicotine depletion to yield Fraction 1A |
| 3 | Chromatographic fingerprint of Fraction 1A |
| 4 | Chromatography of Fraction 1A on nAChR(+)-CMAC and nAChR(−)-CMAC |
| 5 | Determination of chromatographic fingerprints of collected fractions |
| 6 | Comparison of chromatographic fingerprints |
