Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book thoroughly examines the pharmacology of brucineâ"an alkaloid found in plants like nux vomica and ignatia amara. Historically, it was believed to be similar to the more potent strychnine, but the author presents evidence that it has unique effects and therapeutic applications. The author presents evidence that brucine primarily raises arterial pressure before inducing depression, stimulates the spinal cord, paralyzes the motor nerves, but exerts no action whatsoever upon the cerebrum or the sensory nerves. In contrast, strychnine exerts forty times more convulsant power, is more rapidly absorbed, and does not affect the sensory nerves so strongly as does brucine. This lesser effect makes brucine ideal for use on sensitive or weakened patients, or when only a temporary action is desired. In nine cases out of ten where strychnine is employed, brucine would be a more appropriate choice.
