Infobox references

Bulbocapnine is an alkaloid found in Corydalis and Dicentra, herbs in the family Fumariaceae that can cause fatal poisoning in sheep and cattle. It has been shown to act as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor,^[1] and inhibits biosynthesis of dopamine via inhibition of the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase.^[2]^[3]

According to the Dorlands Medical Dictionary, it "inhibits the reflex and motor activities of striated muscle. It has been used in the treatment of muscular tremors and vestibular nystagmus"^[4]. The psychiatrist Robert Heath carried out experiments on prisoners at the Louisiana State Penitentiary using bulbocapnine to induce stupor.^[5].

The author William S. Burroughs references the drug in his book Naked Lunch, in which the fictional Dr. Benway uses it to induce obedience in torture victims.
