Common NameStrychnine
DescriptionStrychnine, also known as strychnin, is an extremely poisonous and bitter indoline alkaloid. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as strychnos alkaloids. These are alkaloids having a core structure based on the strychnan, stemmadenine (seco-curan), or the akuammicine (curan) skeleton. Strychnine is also classified as a terpene indole alkaloid belonging to the Strychnos family of Corynanthe alkaloids. In nature, strychnine is most commonly found in the seeds of the Strychnos nux-vomica tree. Strychnine is derived from two smaller, simpler compounds, tryptamine and secologanin. The enzyme, strictosidine synthase, catalyzes the condensation of tryptamine and secologanin, followed by a spontaneous reaction to form strictosidine. Several other enzymatic steps eventually lead to the conversion of strictosidine to strychnine. Strychnine is a colorless, bitter, crystalline alkaloid that is used as a pesticide, particularly for killing small vertebrates such as birds and rodents. Strychnine, when inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the eyes or mouth, causes poisoning which results in muscular convulsions and eventually death through asphyxia. Strychnine functions as a neurotoxin which acts as an antagonist of glycine and acetylcholine receptors. It primarily affects the motor nerve fibers in the spinal cord which control muscle contraction. Historically, strychnine has served many purposes: (1) As a medicinal remedy to treat a wide variety of ailments, (2) as an athletic performance enhancer, (3) as a recreational drug, and (4) as a pesticide for killing small vertebrates (PMID: 20810461 ).
