Definition
A bitter alkaloid compound extracted from ipecac root that has been used to cause vomiting and treat certain parasitic infections.
Etymology
From ipecac plant (Brazilian Portuguese 'ipecacuanha') with the chemical suffix '-ine' added to create the name of the isolated active compound.
Kelly Says
Emetine is absolutely fascinating because it works against amoebic dysentery parasites AND causes vomiting—so it was once a legitimate medicine that did two jobs at once, even though the vomiting part was definitely unpleasant!
