Uses

Noscapine is a non-sedating isoquinoline alkaloid used primarily for its antitussive properties.

Investigated for use/treatment in lymphoma (non-hodgkin's), leukemia (lymphoid), cancer/tumors (unspecified), and multiple myeloma.

Noscapine is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Common Cold, Cough, Respiratory Diseases, Airway secretion clearance therapy

How Noscapine works

Noscapine's antitussive effects appear to be primarily mediated by its sigma receptor agonist activity. Evidence for this mechanism is suggested by experimental evidence in rats. Pretreatment with rimcazole, a sigma specific antagonist, causes a dose-dependent reduction in antitussive activity of noscapine.
