Background:

Glaucine is an alkaloid originally isolated from G. flavum that demonstrates antitussive properties. It is structurally related to papaverine , a non-selective phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor. Glaucine selectively inhibits PDE4 (Kis = 3.4 µM in human bronchus and polymorphonuclear leukocytes). It has been shown to have bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory effects, inhibiting the spontaneous and histamine-induced tone in human isolated bronchus and augmenting cyclic AMP accumulation. Glaucine also binds to the benzothiazepine site on L-type Ca2+-channels in smooth muscle, blocking calcium ion signaling. This compound has been detected as a recreational drug capable of eliciting dissociative effects.
