Codeinone is an isoquinolone alkaloid{{cite web |title=codeinone (CHEBI:18399) |url=https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/searchId.do?chebiId=CHEBI:18399 |website=www.ebi.ac.uk |access-date=28 October 2023}} found in the opium poppy.{{cite journal |last1=Lenz |first1=Rainer |last2=Zenk |first2=Meinhart H. |title=Stereoselective reduction of codeinone, the penultimate enzymic step during morphine biosynthesis in Papaver somniferum |journal=Tetrahedron Letters |date=April 1995 |volume=36 |issue=14 |pages=2449–2452 |doi=10.1016/0040-4039(95)00278-K}} As an analgesic, it is one-third the potency of codeine.

Chemical structure
Codeinone can be described as the methylether of morphinone: 3-methyl-morphinone.
Codeinone can be also described as the ketone of codeine: codeine-6-one.
Apoptotic activity
Through renewed interest into possible anti-tumor activities of some of the opium alkaloids and derivatives, unrelated to their antinociceptive properties and habit-forming effects, the oxidation product of codeine has been found to induce cell death in three different human cancer cell lines in vitro.Hitosugi N, Nagasaka H, Sakagami H, Matsumoto I, Kawase M (2003).
