A new dehydroaporphine alkaloid from Papaver fugax

Nat Prod Res. 2004 Jun;18(3):265-8. doi: 10.1080/14786410310001608154.

Abstract

A new dehydroaporphine alkaloid (-)-6a,7-dehydrofloripavidine has been isolated from the aerial parts of Papaver fugax Poir. (Papaveraceae) collected from Erzurum (Eastern Anatolia). (-)-Floripavidine (aporphine) and (-)-mecambrine (proaporphine) were isolated as major alkaloids. Other bases present were (+)-salutaridine (promorphinane) and argentinine (phenanthrene). The presence of argentinine has been shown for the first time in the Papaveraceae.
