Papaverine
An alkaloid of the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) isolated in 1848: it relaxes smooth muscle, mainly by inhibiting phosphodiesterases, and is used for visceral spasms and vasospasm. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and nitrosamines.
Did you know?Its name comes from the Latin papaver, poppy: yet, unlike morphine and codeine from the same plant, it is not a painkiller but an antispasmodic, with a different structure and action.
