The quaternary benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloid, sanguinarine (SA), has been detected in the mustard oil contaminated with Argemone mexicana, which produced severe human intoxications during epidemic dropsy in India. Today, SA metabolism in human and in rat has not yet been fully elucidated. The goal
We explored the reproductive toxicity of argemone oil and its principal alkaloid fraction in transgenic Drosophila melanogaster (hsp70-lacZ) Bg(9). The toxicity of argemone oil has been attributed to two of its physiologically active benzophenanthridine alkaloids, sanguinarine and
Consumption of oil extracted from accidental or deliberate contamination of argemone seed to mustard seed is known to pose a clinical condition popularly referred to as Epidemic Dropsy. Several outbreaks of Epidemic Dropsy have occurred in the past in India as well as in Mauritius, Fiji Island, and
