narcotine/papaver somniferum

In addition to codeine and morphine, three more compounds: narcotine (noscapine), papaverine, and thebaine were found in Indian and Netherlands poppy seeds (Papaver somniferum L). The compounds were detected by a GC/MS technique and the identities were confirmed by comparing retention times and ion

Based on numerical and graphic analyses of 6 x 6 diallele cross progenies (n (2) = 36) over two environments, dominance was found to be most prevalent (in overdominance range without being inflated by non-allelic interactions) in parents for latex yield, and morphine, codeine, thebaine, and

The gene actions for yield and its attributes and their inheritance pattern based on five parameter model have been explored in four single crosses (NBIHT-5 × NBIHT-6, NBIHT-5 × NBMHT-1, NBMHT-1 × NBIHT-6 and NBMHT-2 × NBMHT-1) obtained using thebaine rich pure lines of opium poppy (Papaver

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

Wounding is required to be made in the walls of the green seed pod of Opium poppy prior exudation of latex. To withstand this kind of trauma plants regulate expression of some metabolites through an induced transcript level. 167 unique wound-inducible ESTs were identified by a repetitive round of

Guillain-Barré Syndrome is the most common form of polineuropathy. It is suggested that some infectious, immune and allergic factors are involved in developing the syndrome. "Kompot" or "Polish heroine", a domestic product, is produced from poppy straw or juice of poppy head (Papaver somniferum) and

Acute poisonings with drugs of abuse in Poland in 1995 made up 3-4% of all cases of intoxications. In Kraków the most common cause of drug addiction resulting in life threatening states is the use and abuse of opiates derivatives produced by drug addicted people themselves. This domestic product, so

Morphine is one of the many, and pharmacologically most important, opium poppy alkaloid (Papaver somniferum). A poppy plant consists of a lot of alkaloids. Most of them are morphine, codeine, narcotine, papaverine, thebaine, narceine and narcotoline. Most of the alkaloid is in the poppy milk -

Different pieces of evidence connected with drug addiction have been used as material for studies carried out at the institute of Forensic Research in Kraków since the end of the sixties. The number of expert's opinions concerning these questions is constantly on the increase. Work done by the
