Cephaeline（Cat No.:R008506）is a naturally occurring alkaloid primarily extracted from Cephaelis ipecacuanha (ipecac root) and is known for its emetic and expectorant properties. It stimulates the vomiting center in the brain, making it effective in treating poisoning cases by inducing vomiting. Cephaeline also exhibits antimicrobial, antiamoebic, and anticancer properties, broadening its use in research focused on infectious diseases and oncology. Due to its activity against Entamoeba histolytica, it has been explored as a treatment for amoebiasis. Cephaeline is widely studied for its pharmacological actions and potential therapeutic applications.
