california poppy alkaloid structure

i have no luck locating the structure or percentages of the pavine alkaloids present in the california poppy: eschscholtzine and californidine

mainly of interest to see what semi-synthetic potential they have.
anyone know of a link?

Ok, done. http://rapidshare.de/files/2091728/magres371999.pdf.html

I also found an article on the cleavage of eschscholtzine with Na in ammonia. However it is the Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society and I can't get to it. Looks interesting though.

edit:Nevermind on the cleavage bit. It breaks methylenedioxy ring open, not very useful.
