Thebaine is an alkaloid that was first isolated from opium samples in 1817 by German pharmacist Friedrich Sertürner. The name comes from Theba, the ancient Greek name for Thebes in Egypt which was historically known for producing opium. This occurs naturally in low concentrations in opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) plants and is estimated to make up about 2-6% of the total opium alkaloid...
