(pseudochelerythrine), chelerythrine, protopine, α-Allocryptopine, β-
Allocrytopine, bocconoline, sanguirtrine, oxysanguinarine,
dehydroeicanthifoline, dehydroeicanthifoline, bocconoline, berberine,
coptisine, corysamine etc.

chelerythrine, protopine, α-Allocryptopine, β-Allocrytopine. Our Macleaya
