Abstract

From Papaver litwinowii FEDDE ex BORNM. aporheine ((+)-roemerine) was isolated as the dominant alkaloid in addition to minor alkaloids aporheine methohydroxide, corytuberine, hordenine, (-)-mecambrine, cryptopine, protopine and coptisine. The presence of small amounts of allocryptopine, corydine, isocorydine, scoulerine, corysamine and papaverrubine A, C, D and traces of E(?) was also proved. Corytuberine was now isolated from P. dubium L. as well.
