Pukateine is an alkaloid found in the bark of the New Zealand tree Laurelia novae-zelandiae ("Pukatea"), as well as some South American plants.[1] An extract from pukatea is used in traditional Māori herbal medicine as an analgesic.[2][3]

Bernard Cracroft Aston studied the physical and chemical characteristics of the compound, and presented a paper with his findings to the Royal Society of New Zealand on 11 May 1909.[4]
