An alkaloid of opium, C22H23NO7, occurring as colorless prisms insoluble in water; antiperiodic in doses of gr. 1-3 (0.06-0.2).

-
A solid, white, inodorous, and insipid substance; by some considered to be alkaloid; by others neuter; crystallizable in straight prisms with a rhomboidal base; fusible like the fats; soluble in boiling alcohol and ether, and scarcely soluble in water. Narcotine produces all the unpleasant effects of opium; but, at the same time, throws the animal into a state of stupor. It is not used in medicine, on account of these objections. The salts, which are very bitter, have been used successfully in India for the cure of intermittents.
