Ipecac contains 2-2.5% of alkaloids, the principal ones being emetine and cephaeline (Figure 6.67). Typically, in C. ipecacuanha the emetine to cephaeline ratio might be about 2 1, whereas in C. acuminata the ratio ranges from about 1 2 to 1 1. Minor alkaloids characterized include psychotrine and O-methylpsychotrine (Figure 6.68), which are dehydro variants of cephaeline and emetine respectively. [Pg.344]

Ipecac is the root of Cephaetis ipecacuanha, or of C. acuminata, a perennial shrub growing in Brazil and other South American states (Figure 44.1). It contains three alkaloids — emetin, cephaelin, and psychotrin. The dose of the powdered drug as an expectorant is from 1/2 to 2 grain (0.03 to 0.13 g) as an emetic, 15 to 30 grain (1.0 to 2.0 g) (Table 44.1). [Pg.427]

Emetine was first described in 1817 by Pelletier, the discoverer of quinine. However, Pelletier was actually dealing with a mixture of the alkaloids of ipecac, that is, emetine, cephaeline, and psychotrine (see Grollman, 1962). [Pg.427]

The root of the ipecac is commonly used as an expectorant in the treatment of bronchitis, croup, asthma amoebacide and whooping cough, as an emetic in cases of poisoning, and an amoebacide in amoebic dysentery. It has appeared in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia (2001) as ipecac, powdered ipecac and ipecac S)nxip [6]. The ipecac is rich in isoquinoline alkaloids such as emetine, cephaeline, psychotrine. [Pg.649]

Ipecac is obtained from the dried rhizome and roots of Cephaelis ipecacuanha (Rubiaceae), a low bush indigenous to Brazil. Ipecac contains five isoquinoline alkaloids, including emetine, cephaline and psychotrine. Emetine hydrochloride is used as an antiprotozoal agent. Syrup of ipecac is an emetic and poison antidote. [Pg.142]
