Identification
Common Namegamma-Coniceine
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionGamma-coniceine, a partly unsaturated piperidine alkaloid, is the most toxic chemical found in Hemlock. It is abundant in leaves and flowers but less common in the fruits, where it is quickly converted to coniine and N-methylconiine. Gamma coniceine is the precursor of the other alkaloids in poison hemlock
