Aconitine is a potent alkaloid derived from the plant Aconitum, commonly known as monkshood or wolfsbane. It is primarily found in the roots and tubers of the plant and is known for its toxic properties. Aconitine affects the nervous system, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and cardiac disturbances when ingested. Due to its high toxicity, aconitine has limited medicinal use and is primarily studied for its pharmacological effects. Researchers are investigating its potential applications in pain management and cancer treatment, but safety concerns remain significant due to its lethal nature.
