A sensitive and efficient mixed cloud point extraction combined with high‐performance liquid chromatography was developed for the simultaneous separation and determination of four alkaloids (strychnine, strychnine N‐oxide, brucine, and brucine N‐oxide) in plasma after the oral administration of processed semen strychni extract. Tergitol TMN‐6 and cetyl‐trimethyl ammonium bromide were chosen as the mixed surfactants, and ultrasound was employed to enhance the extraction efficiency. Some important parameters affecting the mixed cloud point extraction efficiency, such as the content of Tergitol TMN‐6 and cetyl‐trimethyl ammonium bromide, pH, salt effect, extraction temperature, and ultrasound time were studied and optimized. Under optimum conditions, the linear range of four alkaloids was from 1.0 to 1000 ng/mL. All correlation coefficients of the calibration curves were higher than 0.9993. The intraday and interday precision were below 8.65% and the limits of detection for the four alkaloids were less than 1.0 ng/mL (S/N = 3).
