Strychnine

A natural alkaloid of the seeds of Strychnos nux-vomica and of the Saint Ignatius bean (Strychnos ignatii), isolated in 1818 by the French chemists Pelletier and Caventou: in the laboratory it is a research tool because it selectively blocks glycine receptors. This family brings together the active ingredient.

Did you know?Its complex structure was worked out by Robert Robinson only in 1946, and in 1954 Robert B. Woodward's group completed the first total synthesis, still a classic of organic chemistry.
