吐根碱是一种抗原虫药和呕吐诱导药物，它提取自吐根树，并以其催吐药性而命名。

吐根碱-基于制剂

最早对吐根碱的应用是口服提取自吐根或吐根树根的萃取物，这种萃取物中原本以为只包含了一种生物碱-吐根碱，但后来还发现有吐根酚碱（Cephaeline）、吐根微碱（psychotrine）及其它数种生物碱。虽然这种疗法据说很成功，但萃取物却引起了许多患者的呕吐，从而降低了它的药效。在某些情况下，可通过服用鸦片类药物来减缓恶心症状。其他减轻恶心的建议主要为在吐根碱表面涂覆药物，让它在胃中消化后释放^[1]。

抗阿米巴虫

吐根碱被认为是一种治疗阿米巴病（Amoebiasis）的更有效药物，同时，仍利用它来引起恶心，因为它比吐根树根的粗提取物更有效。此外，吐根碱还可以用于皮下注射来引发恶心，但效果不如口服。

虽然它是一种强效的抗原虫剂，但该药物也会影响肌肉收缩，在某些情况下会导致心脏衰竭。因此，在某些用途中，它需要在医生的监护下使用，以便及时处置不良反应。

去氢土根碱

去氢土根碱又叫去氢依米丁（Dehydroemetine），是一种合成的抗原虫药，其抗阿米巴虫的特性和结构类似于吐根碱（仅乙基旁的双键不同），但是它产生的副作用较少。

吐根酚碱

吐根酚碱又叫头九节因（Cephaeline）也是一种在吐根树根中发现的去甲土根碱。

蛋白质合成阻断应用

在实验室中，通过将吐根碱二氢氯化水合物与40S亚基核糖体的结合，以阻止真核细胞中蛋白质的合成^[2]。因此，可用于对细胞中蛋白质降解的研究。这种化合物能诱发40S亚基核糖体(S14蛋白)耐吐根碱突变体发生改变^[3]^[4]，并显示出具有对小穗苎麻素、异娃儿藤碱和土布洛素的交叉耐药性，而非蛋白质合成的其他抑制体^[5]。化合物所诱发突变体所表现出的交叉耐药性，证明了它们与负责生物活性的吐根碱共享共同的决定性结构^[6]。

生物合成

吐根碱、吐根酚碱的生物合成主要来自两种途径：从酪氨酸合成多巴胺和从牻牛儿焦磷酸（geranyl diphosphate）合成断马钱子苷。生物合成开始于多巴胺与断马钱子苷反应构成Desacetylipecoside（R型）和Deacetylisoipecoside（S型），然后通过皮克特－施彭格勒反应反应和后续一系列的O-甲基化，去除葡萄糖形成中间体。接下来，中间体与另外的多巴胺分子反应形成7'-O-甲基吐根酚碱，最终由7'-O-甲基化吐根酚碱制成吐根酚碱；由6'-O-甲基吐根碱制成吐根碱^[7]^[8]。

副作用

重度或过度使用吐根碱可能会引发肌病（myopathy）及心肌症（Cardiomyopathy）的风险。
