The alkaloid sanguinarine reported to be responsible for several outbreaks of epidemic dropsy in the tropics was examined for its hepatotoxic potential in rats. The studies showed that a single i.p. dose (10 mg/kg) of sanguinarine not only increased the activity of SGPT and SGOT substantially but
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
