A novel compound, salutaridine N-oxide ( 1) has been isolated from PAPAVER BRACTEATUM Lindl (Papaveraceae) in which the major alkaloids were salutaridine and thebaine. Semisynthetic 1 was prepared for structure confirmation. Other components of the alkaloidal fraction were isothebaine, oripavine,
The alkaloids, orientalidine, oripavine, thebaine, narceine, narceine, codeine, papaverine, isothebaine, alpenigenine and morphine react with a solution of sulfuric acid containing molybdate to give specific colors. Using the acid solution permitted the differentiation of Papaver bracteatum latex
The alkaloid profiles and morphological traits of the capsules of Papaver bracteatum, P. pseudo-orientale, and their hybrids were studied. Dominance of the hexaploid parent P. pseudo-orientale was observed for various characters. A genetic model assuming allelic additive effects and polysomic
A high pressure liquid chromatographic isocratic procedure is described for determining and quantitating the 5 major alkaloids narcotine, papaverine, thebaine, codeine, and morphine in Papaver somniferum L. and thebaine in Papaver bracteatum Lindl. Other papaveraceous alkaloids, including
