Usage

Description

Psychotrine is an alkaloid derived from the bark of Cephaelis Ipecacuanha (Brot.) A. Rich. It forms colorless prisms of the tetrahydrate when crystallized from aqueous solvents, exhibiting pale blue fluorescence. Psychotrine is sparingly soluble in water, diethyl ether, or benzene but dissolves freely in chloroform, ethanol, or acetone. It contains three methoxyl groups, an ethyl group, and a phenolic hydroxyl group.

Uses
