Emetics

Apomorphine, sold under the brand name Apokyn among others, is a type of aporphine that functions as a non-selective dopamine agonist which activates both D2-like and, to a much lesser extent, D1-like receptors. It also acts as an antagonist of 5-HT2 and α-adrenergic receptors with high affinity. The compound is an alkaloid belonging to nymphaea caerulea, or blue lotus, but is also historically known as a morphine decomposition product made by boiling morphine with concentrated acid, hence the -morphine suffix. Contrary to its name, apomorphine does not actually contain morphine or its skeleto

Bufotenin, also known as dimethylserotonin or as '5-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-HO-DMT'), is a serotonergic psychedelic of the tryptamine family. It is a derivative of the psychedelic dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT). The compound is an alkaloid found in some species of mushrooms, plants, and toads. It is also found naturally in the human body in small amounts. Bufotenin, for instance derived from the trees Anadenanthera colubrina and Anadenanthera peregrina, has a long history of entheogenic use as a snuff in South America.

Emetine is a drug used as both an anti-protozoal and to induce vomiting. It is produced from the ipecac root. It takes its name from its emetic properties.

Cereulide is a heat-stable toxin produced by some strains of Bacillus cereus, B. megaterium and related species. It is a potent cytotoxin that destroys mitochondria. It causes nausea and vomiting.

Quipazine, also known as 1-(2-quinolinyl)piperazine (2-QP), is a serotonergic drug of the arylpiperazine family and an analogue of 1-(2-pyridinyl)piperazine which is used in scientific research. It was first described in the 1960s and was originally intended as an antidepressant but was never developed or marketed for medical use. The effects of quipazine in humans include nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal disturbances, diarrhea, and, at higher doses, psychedelic effects. Quipazine may represent the prototype of a novel structural class of psychedelic drugs.

Cephaeline is an alkaloid that is found in Cephaelis ipecacuanha and other plant species including Psychotria acuminata. Cephaeline induces vomiting by stimulating the stomach lining and is found in commercial products such as syrup of ipecac. Chemically, it is closely related to emetine.
