Psychotria ipecacuanha

Ipecac Alkaloid Induces vomiting Psychotria ipecacuanha... [Pg.28]

Ipecacuanha is an extract of the root of Psychotria ipecacuanha, also known as Cephaelis ipecacuanha, a member of the Rubiaceae. It contains the emetic alkaloids cephaehne and emetine. It has often been used as a home remedy for various purposes, and not only as an emetic. It is a traditional ingredient of some expectorants, since expectoration often accompanies vomiting. Misuse of ipecacuanha by patients with anorexia nervosa and bulimia has resulted in severe myopathy, lethargy, eiythema, dysphagia, cardiotoxi-city, and even death. Use in infancy generally seems safe. [Pg.1904]

The root of Cephaeiis ipecacuanha, also known as Psychotria ipecacuanha, is the source of ipecacuanha, which contains the emetic alkaloids emetine and cephaeline. Ipecacuanha is covered in a separate monograph. [Pg.3086]

Ipecac alkaloids are derived from the amino acid tyrosine and the monoterpene secologanin and are therefore termed terpenoid-isoquinoline alkaloids. They occur in the eudicot families Alangiaceae and Rubiaceae. Two species, Psychotria ipecacuanha (Rubiaceae) and Alangium lamarckii (Alangiaceae), have been investigated in detail with respect to their metabolites and biosynthesis of their alkaloids (Fujii and Ohba, 1998). Roots and rhizomes of P. ipecacuanha are the source of cephaeline and emetine (Fig. 9), two compounds with emetic, expectorant, and amebicidal properties. [Pg.12]
