The galantamine content of
Amaryllidaceae plants was investigated using different high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods.
The most remarkable results of these researches were the presence of a unique subgroup of the
Amaryllidaceae alkaloids called gracilines and the isolation of an unusual pentacyclic dinitrogenous alkaloid called gracilamine (Noyan et al.
Davis (
Amaryllidaceae), an endemic Allium species to the island of Cyprus, in a comparative approach to weakly metastatic MCF-7 and strongly metastatic MDA-MB-231 breast cancer (BCa) cell lines.
Pharmacological effects of
Amaryllidaceae alkaloids fueled clinical studies to use them and their synthetic derivatives in developing anti-tumor (17) and anti-Alzheimer's therapeutics.

castaneum was Allium sativum (
Amaryllidaceae) with [LC.sub.50] value of 1.52[micro]L/L [46].
In support of this, galanthamine - an alkaloid isolated from green snowdrop (Galanthus woronowii,
Amaryllidaceae), has been approved recently, in the treatment of mild to moderate forms of AD [35].
