• Description: Cotarnine chloride is an isoquinoline alkaloid, which is a derivative of the opium alkaloid narcotine. It is synthesized through the oxidation and chlorination of narcotine extracted from opium. The mode of action of cotarnine chloride primarily involves its vasoconstrictive properties, which help in reducing blood flow by contracting smooth muscle fibers in blood vessels. This action aids in achieving hemostasis, thereby preventing or controlling hemorrhage.
