Modulatory Effects of Eschscholzia californica Alkaloids on Recombinant GABAA Receptors
Table 1
Alkaloid content determined using LC-diode array spectrophotometry in the aerial part of E. californica. The amount of alkaloid is expressed as mg/g of dry weight (mean ± standard deviation ()). Five grams of finely ground plant material was macerated (a) in methanol for 5 days and after SDS-based extraction in chloroform (Soxhlet apparatus) and (b) 10-week extraction in methanol solution from 1.872 kg of dried plant material.
