Noscapine Base is a prominent natural poppy alkaloid and a key pharmaceutical intermediate manufactured by Parand Darou Co. It serves as a vital precursor in the synthesis of Noscapine Hydrochloride and various antitussive pharmaceutical formulations.
Pharmacological Significance
Unlike other opium derivatives, Noscapine is non-narcotic, non-sedating, and non-addictive. It exerts its antitussive effects by directly suppressing the cough center in the medulla oblongata. Furthermore, it is currently gaining attention in advanced biomedical studies as a lead compound with tubulin-inhibiting properties and potential antitumor therapeutic potential.
Quality Assurance & Storage
At Parand Darou Co., Noscapine Base is synthesized under strict Quality Control (QC) supervision, meeting high-purity standards (minimum 99.0%) and adhering to internal specifications. It maintains chemical stability for at least 2 years when stored at room temperature. It is highly recommended to store the product in well-closed, moisture-proof containers.
