Noscapine
An opium alkaloid (Papaver somniferum) without the narcotic and analgesic effects of opioids, used as a cough suppressant; it was isolated in 1803 by the Parisian pharmacist and chemist Jean-François Derosne. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?Its old name was narcotine, even though it is not a narcotic; today it is also being studied as a possible anticancer agent, because it binds to the tubulin of dividing cells.
