Chemical compound From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

14-Hydroxycodeine also known as hydroxycodeine, is an toxic opioid, and also an alkaloid[1][2] an organic compound that is a minor natural product found in some plants and bacteria[3] and is an important intermediate in the synthesis of potent opioid analgesics[4] such as oxycodone and other 14-hydroxylated opiate drugs. It is not used as a standalone drug and has no medical use.[5] 14-Hydroxycodeine is an alkaloid component of the plant Papaver bracteatum.[1][2]
