Bodi Fluor™ 488-Cephaeline Conjugate

Cephaeline is an alkaloid that is found in Cephaelis ipecacuanha and other plant species including Psychotria acuminate. Cephaeline induces vomiting by stimulating the stomach lining and is found in commercial products such as syrup of ipecac. Chemically, it is closely related to emetine. It has been reported that the expectorant action of ipecacuanha is due in whole or in major part to its content of emetine and cephaeline. The expectorant action of synthetic 2-dehydroemetine is essentially similar to that of emetine and cephaeline. This Bodipy-labeled has been used to study the mechanism of cephaeline.
