: We assessed the influence of long-term injection of magnoflorine (MAG) on memory acquisition in mice for the first time. : This isoquinoline alkaloid that belongs to the aporphines was isolated from the roots of by centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) using a biphasic solvent system composed of chloroform: methanol: water in the ratio 4:3:3 (//) with 20 mM of hydrochloric acid and triethylamine, within 64 min. : Our results indicated that long-term injection of MAG 20 mg/kg dose improve the long-term memory acquisition in mice that were evaluated in the passive avoidance (PA) test with no toxicity records.

Patients with microsatellite instability and deficient mismatch repair (MSI/dMMR) tumors represent a specific group that benefits from different approaches if TNT is considered.
