Semester 3, Week 12, Day 5

I actually got all the assignments for Chemistry yesterday!  Just to be clear, the class is more than just chemistry but I can't spell it much less pronounce it so Chemistry it is.  LOL  3 days left in the school week and all I have other than finals and papers is pathophysiology - an essay, a discussion and a quiz.  I'm right on schedule to get all of this done.  Yes, it means I can breathe a little...  LOL  I got to sit down for a little while yesterday.  I got my last thing for chemistry done before 6, dinner was done, house cleaned up.  I quickly became a jungle gym as the children realized my lap was available for some cuddles.  It was a good yet painful evening.  I'm shocked I still have hair attached to me head but that is part of being a parent.  Children are, indeed, torture from the moment they are ready to be born.  LOL 

On to California poppy!  Since the remaining things were not in Hoffman, I looked in mt toxicology books.

Chelerythrine: Brinkler (2000) reports on page 67 and 171 this is a toxic constituent but this book doesn't break out what constituents are other than that.

Constituents: alkaloids californine, flavone glycosides, isoquinoline alkaloids (cryptopines, eschscholzidine, anguinarine and chelerythrine).

Have a great day!
