“…This species is used as an antitussive and sedative together with Papaver rhoeas L. in the folk medicine of Turkey (Baytop, 1984). Previous investigations on the alkaloids of this species revealed the existence of the benzylisoquinoline (macrostomine, dehydromacrostomine, sevanine), aporphine (isocorydine), protopine (protopine), and rhoeadine (rhoeadine, papaverrubine A, B, D, E), types (Preininger, 1986). Recently, we reported the isolation of isopavine (amurensine, amurensinine) and protoberberine (cheilantifoline) types from Papaver macrostomum collected from Northwestern Turkey (Saryar, 2002).…”
