Nature is God's gift to human beings. Natural products are a source of new chemical diversity and are the choice of today's world. Nature itself gives remedy to all our health problems. The sources of natural product are plants, animals and microorganisms. Among them plant and its products are more reliable for its renewability and therefore, considered as fortunate thing for human welfare. Our traditional system of medicine which has been followed by our ancestors has its own impact on human life. Due to the inadequate knowledge many plant derived products (drugs) has not yet been explored to the society. We are having many side effects and long term complications in synthetic drugs. Our aim is to mine the precious data about the plant Argemone mexicana. Now-a-days people prefer a drug which has no side effects. For that, the plant Argemone mexicana is a boon to the human being as it has a number of miraculous compounds to cure a various types of diseases. Single plant has a lot of uncountable benefits in drug discovery and which gives a base for new drug discovery. This plant is a weed, easily available and it does not require any special care which forms the base to develop a drug in socio economic form so that it could be made available to all people. This chapter provides an insight into various interesting pharmacological properties viz., Antidiabetic activity , Anti-Cancer activity, Anti-HIV activity, CNS related activities, Wound recovering action, Anti microbial activity, Antioxidant activity, Anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic activity, Hepatoprotective activity, Anti-fertility activity, Antiallergic activity, Nematicidal activity, Allelopathic effect, Antihelmintic activity, Larvicidal activity, Antifeedant action etc., which has been reviewed from different literatures in scientific journals. This present review would kindle many of the young minds to turn towards the nature i.e., plant based novel drug discovery with in-depth and extensive studies in all relevant aspects. Hence the paramount importance of this review about Argemone mexicana will be very much useful to the society.
大自然是上帝赐予人类的礼物。天然产物是新化学多样性的来源，也是当今世界的选择。大自然本身为我们所有的健康问题提供了补救方法。天然产物的来源是植物、动物和微生物。其中，植物及其产物因其可再生性而更可靠，因此被视为人类福祉的幸事。我们祖先传承下来的传统医学体系对人类生活有着自身的影响。由于知识不足，许多植物衍生产品（药物）尚未向社会公开。我们的合成药物存在许多副作用和长期并发症。我们的目标是挖掘有关植物墨西哥刺罂粟的宝贵数据。如今，人们更喜欢没有副作用的药物。就此而言，墨西哥刺罂粟对人类来说是一种恩赐，因为它含有许多神奇的化合物，能治愈各种类型的疾病。单一植物在药物发现中有诸多不可计数的益处，为新药发现奠定了基础。这种植物是一种杂草，容易获取，不需要任何特殊护理，这为以社会经济形式开发药物奠定了基础，从而使所有人都能获得。本章深入探讨了各种有趣的药理特性，即抗糖尿病活性、抗癌活性、抗艾滋病毒活性、中枢神经系统相关活性、伤口愈合作用、抗菌活性、抗氧化活性、抗炎、镇痛、解热活性、保肝活性、抗生育活性、抗过敏活性、杀线虫活性、化感作用、抗蠕虫活性、杀幼虫活性、拒食作用等，这些内容均从科学期刊的不同文献中进行了综述。本综述将激发许多年轻人转向大自然，即进行基于植物的新型药物发现，并在所有相关方面进行深入广泛的研究。因此，这篇关于墨西哥刺罂粟的综述的至关重要性对社会将非常有用。
