Errors in Alkaloids of Nelumbo and Nymphaea species

This paper is a long survey article that will set the record straight as to what compounds are found in each genus, and where they are found. First of all Nelumbo species have NO relationship to Nymphaea species. In fact, Nelumbo species are related to Papaver species. This is why Nelumbo is put in a separate family from Nymphaea species based mainly on its genetic and metabolic pathways. The biochemical pathways in the two species are completely different and yield different compounds. Nelumbo species produces alkaloids in the Benzylisoquinoline, Bisbenzylisoquinoline and Aporphine groups. Nymphaea species produces alkaloids in the furano-quinolizidine and quinolizidine alkaloid groups. Nymphaea species DO NOT have the metabolic pathways to produce the alkaloid nuciferine, Nelumbo species can produce this alkaloid. I continually see on internet websites that state nuciferine is found in Nymphaea species which is completely wrong as I have stated above. Nuciferine is a isoquinoline type alkaloid found in Nelumbo species. Read my survey article when published to find out the full details. This survey will give in detail the structure of each compound found, each compounds activity, and in what part of the plant each one is found. This is a separate paper from the one that concentrates on the medicinal aspects of these plants which I have mentioned below
