Strychnine

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Strychnine is a poisonous indole-type alkaloid found in the genus Strychnos. Its basic compound forms colorless or white rhombic crystals. These have a bitter taste and melt at approximately 290°C. Strychnine was the first alkaloid to be identified in plants of the genus Strychnos, Family Loganiaceae. Strychnos, created by Linnaeus in 1753, is a genus of trees and climbing shrubs of the gentian order. The genus contains 196 various species and is distributed throughout the warm regions of Asia (58 species), America (64 species), and Africa (75 species). Plants of the genus Strychnos have opposite leaves and bear cymes of white or yellowish flowers that have a four-lobed or five-lobed calyx, a four-part or five-part corolla, five stamens, a solitary pistil, and they bear fruit in the form of a berry. The seeds and bark of many plants in this genus contain the powerful poison strychnine. Strychnine is obtained commercially from the seeds of the Saint Ignatius bean (Strychnos ignatii) and from the nux-vomica tree (Strychnos nux-vomica) (Volfova and Patocka, 2003). S. nux-vomica, also known as poison nut, semen strychnos, and quaker buttons, is a deciduous tree native to India and southeast Asia. It is a medium-sized tree that grows in open habitats. The seeds contain approximately 1.5% strychnine and the dried blossoms contain 1.0% (Harry, 1968). However, the tree&apos;s bark also contains other poisonous compounds (Guo et al., 2018). Strychnine was first discovered in the Saint Ignatius bean by French chemists Joseph-Bienaime Caenoiu and Pierre-Joseph Pelletier in 1818. In some Strychnos plants the 9,10-dimethoxy derivative of strychnine brucine, is also present (Li et al., 2006).
