[edit] Description

opium alkaloid

Laudanosine or N-methyltetrahydropapaverine is a toxic metabolite of atracurium and cisatracurium that decreases the seizure threshold. It also occurs naturally in minute amounts (0.1%) in opium, from which it was first isolated in 1871. Partial dehydration of laudanosine will lead to papaverine.

Laudanosine is a benzylisoquinoline alkaloid. It has been shown to interact with GABA receptors, opioid receptors, and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
