Abstract : Argemonea Mexicana, generally known as the Mexican prickly poppy of the family Papavaraceae, is a plant that's well known for its medicinal quality. The plant is set up in tropical regions and is used in Ayurvedic, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathic drug practies, Each part of the plant contains bioactive composites that help in treating a variety of affections similar as' HIV', malaria, ringworm infection, fungal Infections & cancer. The plant has been studied in vivo & in vitro the results have been positive. The Plant also contains composites like berberine, argemonine & protopine, which are known for their restorative action. It's considerably used traditionally for the treatment of multitudinous conditions.Aregmone Mexicana is reported to have antimicrobial exertion, crack mending capacity in rats, larvicidal and chemosterilant exertion, and Nematicidal & allelopathic eventuality. In Mexico Infusion of the upstanding part of the plant is used as hypoglycemic. Chemical disquisition of the plant has revealed the presence of alkaloids, amino acids, phenolics, & adipose acids. The upstanding corridor of the plant contain" Isoquinoline" and" Benzylisoquinoline ” alkaloids. Medicinal plant are extensively used in the treatment of habitual conditions, metabolic conditions, and cancer. Argemone Mexicana L.(A. mexicana), substantially set up in the remains of Marathwada( Maharashtra, India), has been used in the treatment of speech diseases. In this research, cold water, and methanolic extricates were arranged from the Argemone mexicana stem and taken off. These extricates were tried for their antifungal and anticancer exercises. The antifungal action was tried exercising the Agar well dispersion strategy, whereas the anticancer motion against eternalized cell lines was examined by the Erythrosin blue experiment.
