Abstract

The alkaloidal contents of the Turkish Papaver belonging to the section Pilosa have been studied by high performance liquid chromatography. According to the results obtained, the section Pilosa should be divided into two subsections; the first being characterised by the presence of the alkaloids amurine, glaucine and roemerine and the second by protopine and rhoeadine. These conclusions were confirmed by the botanical studies.
