Natural Plant Alkaloid (Emetine) Inhibits HIV-1 Replication by Interfering with Reverse Transcriptase Activity [PDF]
Ipecac alkaloids are secondary metabolites produced in the medicinal plant Psychotria ipecacuanha. Emetine is the main alkaloid of ipecac and one of the active compounds in syrup of Ipecac with emetic property. Here we evaluated emetine’s potential as an

Clonal diversity and conservation genetics of the medicinal plant Carapichea ipecacuanha (Rubiaceae) [PDF]
The roots of the understorey shrub Carapichea ipecacuanha (ipecac) have medicinal properties, and the uprooting of wild plants has supplied most of the world demand for this species. Although under severe population decline, C.

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.

Summary Peptide asparaginyl ligases (PALs) are useful tools for precision modifications of proteins and live‐cell surfaces by ligating peptides after Asn/Asp (Asx). They share high sequence and structural similarity to plant legumains that are generally known as asparaginyl endopeptidases (AEPs), thus making it challenging to identify PALs from AEPs ...

This study aimed to seed germination and adventitious shoot regeneration from Psychotria ipecacuanha inverted hypocotyls. The results showed a percentage of 84.17% of seeds germinated with normal seedlings development. The germination started after the second day of cultivation and was observed up to 70 days.
