Opium trade and use during the Late Bronze Age: Organic residue analysis of ceramic vessels from the burials of Tel Yehud, Israel

Archaeometry, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Organic residue analysis was conducted on various vessels from burials at Tel Yehud, Israel. The analyses led to new reliable evidence for the presence of opioid alkaloids and their decomposition products. This research revitalizes a decades‐old discussion on the presence and function of the opium trade across a cultural region of utmost ...

Alkaloid binding to opium poppy major latex proteins triggers structural modification and functional aggregation

Nature Communications, 2022
Opium poppy accumulates alkaloids in the specialized cytoplasm of laticifers known as latex. Here the authors show that the binding of alkaloids to the abundant major latex proteins triggers quaternary structural modification that mediates a functional ...

Simultaneous determination of five opium alkaloids in underground waters using molecularly imprinted polymer-modified magnetic nanoparticle based dispersive micro-solid phase extraction followed by high performance liquid chromatography

International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, 2021
In this work, we present a fast, simple and selective method for the extraction/preconcentration and determination of five opium alkaloids. This method is based on the combination of dispersive solid phase extraction with magnetic molecularly imprinted ...

Role of the phloem in the biochemistry and ecophysiology of benzylisoquinoline alkaloid metabolism

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) are a diverse group of biologically active specialized metabolites produced mainly in four plant families. BIA metabolism is likely of monophyletic origin and involves multiple enzymes yielding structurally diverse ...
