The Argemone genus includes weed species of great importance in traditional medicine due to biological activities attributed secondary metabolites, mainly alkaloids, distributed all tissues this species. In addition, their seeds contain a large amount oil (30 40%). For reason, several authors have discussed the potential as non-edible source produce multi-purpose raw materials and low cost-crop...

Argemone mexicana L is one of the medicinal plants used traditionally for its curative properties. The observed activities could be due to presence phytochemicals present in plant. purpose this study carry out quantitative and qualitative analysis constituent Ethanol aqueous extracts leaves plant as well determine microbial against some selected bacteria fungi. Results showed that alkaloid both...

Background: Medicinal plants are widely used to treat infectious diseases, metabolic disorders and cancer. Argemone mexicana L. (A. mexicana), commonly found on desolate land of Marathwada (Maharashtra, India) has been used to treat oral cavity infections. Methods: In this study, cold aqueous and methanolic extracts were prepared from A. mexicana stem and leaves. These extracts were tested for ...

The work is a study of the geometry of the molecules via molecular mechanics of the main alkaloids found in the seeds of Argemone Mexicana Linn, a prickly poppy, which is considered one of the most important species of plants in traditional Mexican and Indian medicine system. The seeds have toxic properties as well as bactericide, hallucinogenic, fungicide, insecticide, in isoquinolines and san...

Alkaloid contents in Argemone mexicana cell line AMMiF were analyzed during a 36-day culture cycle. The benzophenanthridine sanguinarine (SA) represented the main alkaloid. Dihydrosanguinarine (DHSA), a SA biosynthetic precursor and a less toxic benzophenanthridine, was also identified, based on chromatographic properties and further confirmed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry....
