Abstract
Papaver fugax Poiret population Khalkhal was shown to contain four major
alkaloids, roemerine (0.19%), mecamberine (0.39%), liriodenine (0.20%) and
salutaridine (0.10%). Papaver caucasicum M. B. population Elika was shown to
contain four major alkaloids, nuciferine (0.50%), amurensinine (0.15%), lysicamine
