Abstract
Chelidonium majus has rich medicinal value, traditionally used to alleviate coughs, asthma, spasms and pain. It is abundant in alkaloids (94 isolated, including benzophenanthridine, protoberberine, aporphine and protopine types) which have anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-tumor effects. The review covers the phytochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology of C. majus alkaloids, noting the toxicity that limits internal use.
