(±)-Coniine(Cat No.:I015362)is an alkaloid found in plants of the genus Conium, particularly in poison hemlock (Conium maculatum). It is a potent neurotoxin that acts as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist. (±)-Coniine disrupts neuromuscular transmission by blocking the binding of acetylcholine to receptors, leading to muscle paralysis and, in high doses, respiratory failure. Historically, it has been used as a poison. Due to its toxic properties, (±)-Coniine has been studied primarily in toxicology and pharmacology to better understand its mechanism of action and potential antidotes for poisoning.
