Description

C34H47NO11 is an alkaloid from plants of the genus Aconitum (wrestler, wolfsbane, and skullcap).
It is found primarily in tubers and leaves.
In small doses, it was previously used in medicine as an analgesic and antirheumatic agent, but its use was discontinued due to its extreme toxicity.
It is sometimes included in homeopathic preparations, which poses a serious risk in case of overdose.

Aconitine is a potent neuro- and cardiotoxin that activates voltage-gated sodium channels, causing them to remain open for extended periods.

This leads to continuous depolarization of neuronal and cardiomyocyte membranes, conduction disturbances, and fibrillation.

It is highly toxic when taken orally, inhaled, and even through skin contact.

There is no antidote.

Lethal Dose:
For humans, the lethal dose is 1-2 mg of pure alkaloid or 3-5 g of aconite root.

Just a few drops of the tincture can cause death.
