WHAT DOES CONIINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Coniine

Coniine is a poisonous alkaloid found in poison hemlock and the yellow pitcher plant, and contributes to hemlock's fetid smell. It is a neurotoxin which disrupts the peripheral nervous system. It is toxic to humans and all classes of livestock; less than 0.2g is fatal to humans, with death caused by respiratory paralysis. Socrates was put to death by means of this poison in 399 BC. Coniine has two stereoisomers: --coniine, and --coniine, both of which are present in hemlock. Coniine was first synthesized by Albert Ladenburg in 1886; it was the first of the alkaloids to be synthesized.
