• Beschreibung

  Emetine hydrochloride (483-18-1) is one of the active ingredients of ipecac root extract, used as an emetic.1 Induces apoptosis in breast cancer cells via inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling.2 Inhibits Zika and Ebola virus in vitro and in vivo, targeting viral entry and replication by inhibiting viral RNA polymerase and host lysosomal function.3 Also inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in cells (EC50 for viral load reduction is 0.46 μM).4 A useful agent for inhibiting protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells by virtue of its inhibition of the ribosome 40S subunit.5

• Chemische Eigenschaften

  Brown Solid

• Verwenden

  Emetine is the principal alkaloid of ipecac, the ground roots of Uragoga ipecacuanha.

• Verwenden

  Emetine occurs in the ground roots ofipecac (Uragoga ipecacuanha, Cephaelisipecacuanha, Uragoga acuminata, and Rubiaceae). Ipecacs are of two varieties, Brazilianand Cartagena. The former contains about1.2–1.5% emetine, and the latter constitutesabout 1.1–1.4% emetine. It is used as anemetic to induce vomiting for the treatmentof poisoning. It is also used as an antiamebic.

• Indications

  Chlorprothixene (Taractan) has been reported twice to be effective in the treatment of PHN. For severe pain, an initial 50 to 100 mg IM injection has been advocated. Otherwise, the dosage is 25 to 50 mg PO q6h. The recommended duration of therapy is 4 to 10 days. Higher doses are unwarranted and frequently result in side effects.

• Definition

  ChEBI: Emetine is a pyridoisoquinoline comprising emetam having methoxy substituents at the 6'-, 7'-, 10- and 11-positions. It is an antiprotozoal agent and emetic. It inhibits SARS-CoV2, Zika and Ebola virus replication and displays antimalarial, antineoplastic and antiamoebic properties. It has a role as an antiprotozoal drug, a plant metabolite, an antiviral agent, an emetic, a protein synthesis inhibitor, an antimalarial, an antineoplastic agent, an autophagy inhibitor, an antiinfective agent, an expectorant, an anticoronaviral agent and an antiamoebic agent. It is a pyridoisoquinoline and an isoquinoline alkaloid. It is functionally related to a cephaeline. It is a conjugate base of an emetine(2+). It derives from a hydride of an emetan.

• Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO)

  Emetine, an alkaloid obtained from ipecacuanha, was first used rationally as an amoebocide in 1912. It was subsequently widely used and was included in earlier editions of the WHO Model List of Essential Drugs but has now been replaced by the less cardiotoxic synthetic derivative dehydroemetine. Although it is valuable in the treatment of systemic amoebic hepatitis it has now been largely superseded by considerably less toxic drugs, and in particular by metronidazole.

• Hazard

  Toxic by ingestion.

• Health Hazard

  The toxicity of cephaeline is lower than thatof emetine. The toxic effects are cumulative. Ingestion of high doses may producehypotension, muscle weakness, and gastroin testinal problems, including nausea, vomit ing, and diarrhea.

• Mechanism of action

  This drug has a direct amebicidal effect against trophozoites E. histolytica in tissues, and it is not active against cysts in either the lumen or intestinal walls, or in other organs. The mechanism of action of emetine consists of the blockage of protein synthesis in eukaryotic (but not in prokaryotic) cells. It inhibits the process of polypeptide chain formation. Protein synthesis is inhibited in parasite and mammalian cells, but not in bacteria.
  Emetine is currently only used as a drug for treating amebiasis in cases of resistance to other drugs. Synonyms of this drug are ipecin and methylcefalin.

• Synthese

  Emetine, 3-ethyl-2,3,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-9,10-dimethoxy-2-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro- 6,7-dimethoxy-1-isoquinolylmethyl)-1H-benzo[a]quinolizine (37.2.8), is a natural compound. Traditionally, the alkaloid emetine was extracted from the ipecacuanha plant (Brazilian root) and used as the primary drug for treating amebiasis, leishaniasis, and dysentery. Various ways of synthesizing emetine have been suggested, all of which begin with homoveratrylamine ¨C 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethylamine.
  Upon a combined catalytic hydrogenation of the ethyl ester of |?¨C(|á??-cyano)propylglutaric acid and homoveratrilamine, a reductive amination reaction takes place, in which ammonia is released and an intermediate amine (37.2.5) is formed, which under the reaction conditions undergoes intramolecular cyclization to give 1-[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)- ethyl]-4-carbethoxymethyl-6-ethylpiperidone-2 (37.2.6). Reacting the resulting lactam with phosphorus oxychloride causes heterocyclization into the derivative of benzoquinolizine (37.2.7). Subsequent reaction of the product with homoveratrylamine makes the corresponding amide. Upon reaction with phosphorus oxychloride, this compound cyclizes to an isoquinoline derivative, and the pyridine ring is then hydrogenated by hydrogen to a racemic mixture of products, from which the desired emetine is isolated.
