Screening Study of Influence of Selected Alkaloids from Eschscholtzia Californica Cham. (Papaveraceae) on Human Erythrocytal Acetylcholinesterase

From ethereal extract (pH 9-10) benzofenantridin alkaloids were separated, remaining tertiary bases were divided according to solubility of their chlorides in chloroform; thus, phenolic and non-phenolic alkaloids were obtained from each fraction
