Weird edit of 28 June from New York City area
[edit]I have made an archive of the unusual edit that replaced all sorts of correct information with waht looks like a WP:copyvio taken from a source that mentions Viadent™. There were other forensics that lead this writer to believe a lack of WP:NPOV was intended to bias away from the toxicity of sanuinarine, and toward health applications. For example, sanguinarine was once included in toothpastes.Heathhunnicutt 16:12, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree, and how is this not linked to Epidemic Dropsy any more? It is fair to say that Sanguinarine is useful, but it is dangerous to say that it is "non-toxic". HecticSceptic 23:19, 15 July 2008.
- I've restored an older version, which seems better to me. The article could use some expansion still though. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:32, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
Additional references
[edit]The following list of references was appended to the end of the article, but they are apparently not being used to support any article content, so I'm moving them here in case anyone would like to use them to improve the article. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:30, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Suggest link to cansema page
[edit]Given the toxic nature of sanguinarine, perhaps a link to the cansema page (http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Cansema) would be worth adding? Black salve, or cansema, frequently contains unregulated concentrations and if we a re going to cite papers that talk about the potential benefits of sanguinarine re apoptosis and cancer cells perhaps it is fair warning to readers to also discuss the damage that can be done to perfectly healthy skin with products containing sanguinarine. I must admit, at first reading of this page as it stands I was under the impression it suggests sanguinarine is safe to use. --124.181.192.208 (talk) 12:46, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
Biosynthesis
[edit]Next, a methyl group is added to form N-methylcoclaurine. Actually, 2 methyls must be added (at the O at top left & at the N). 96.88.198.77 (talk) 22:20, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
