Opium alkaloids

Japanese: アヘンアルカロイド
Opium alkaloids

Also known as poppy alkaloids. A general term for alkaloids that are the main components of opium. Structurally, they contain part of the isoquinoline skeleton and belong to the isoquinoline alkaloids, but are further classified into morphine-type (morphine, codeine, etc.), papaverine-type (benzylisoquinoline type), and narcotine-type alkaloids. Morphine is the most representative, and exists in opium as a salt of meconic acid. Morphine-type alkaloids have sedative and analgesic effects, while papaverine-type and narcotine-type alkaloids have antispasmodic effects.
