Abstract
Genus Hypecoum Tourn. ex L. belongs to the poppy family Papaveraceae and comprises about 19 species occurring in Europe, Northern Africa and Asia. Hypecoum species have been widely used in traditional medicine as antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory remedies. Their effects are associated with the biologically and pharmacologically active isoquinoline alkaloids in them, such as protopines, protoberberines, benzophenanthridines, aporphines, simple isoquinolines, secoberbines, spirobenzylisoquinolines and others. In this study, we aimed to review and organize information on ethnomedicinal, phytochemical, chemotaxonomical and pharmacological studies of alkaloids and extracts obtained from Hypecoum plants, and to suggest opportunities for further research.
