Ipecac (Psychotria ipecacuanha) is a perennial, medicinal herb that grows in the understory of semi-deciduous tropical forests in the Neotropics. Ipecacs present a widely disjunct distribution, with two of its three ranges occurring in Brazil. The Amazonian populations are at least 1600 km from the nearest Atlantic populations.

The new beta-D-glucosidase in terpenoid-isoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis in Psychotria ipecacuanha. [PDF]
Ipecac alkaloids produced in the medicinal plant Psychotria ipecacuanha such as emetine and cephaeline possess a monoterpenoid-tetrahydroisoquinoline skeleton, which is formed by condensation of dopamine and secologanin. Deglucosylation of one of the condensed products N-deacetylisoipecoside (1 alpha(S)-epimer) is considered to be a part of the ...

Is a metabolic enzyme complex involved in the efficient and accurate control of Ipecac alkaloid biosynthesis in Psychotria ipecacuanha? [PDF]
Ipecac alkaloids produced in the medicinal plant Psychotria ipecacuanha such as emetine and cephaeline possess a monoterpenoid-tetrahydroisoquinoline skeleton, which is formed by condensation of dopamine and secologanin. The condensation products are deglucosylated, and the resulting aglycon is further processed to protoemetine, which is condensed with

Diferenciação morfológica e anatômica em populações de "ipecacuanha" - Psychotria ipecacuanha (Brot.) Stokes (Rubiaceae) [PDF]
Psychotria ipecacuanha e uma especie medicinal da familia Rubiaceae, importante pela producao em suas raizes do alcaloide emetina. Foram feitas analises das tres populacoes disjuntas que compoem a especie e que ocorrem na America Central (Nicaragua, Costa Rica e Panama) e Colombia, sul da Floresta Amazonica (Rondonia e Mato Grosso) e Mata Atlântica ...

Avaliação de diferentes sistemas de cultivo "in vitro" para a micropropagação de Psychotria ipecacuanha (Brot.) Stokes [PDF]
This work was carried out with Psychotria ipecacuanha, a Brazilian medicinal plant the roots of which contain emetine. The main objective was to develop a protocol for the micro-propagation of these species, by testing different culture techniques, the temporary immersion system, and the semi-solid and liquid media systems.
