Aconitine (C₃₄H₄₇NO₁₁) is an extremely toxic alkaloid extracted from plants of the genus Aconitum (wolfsbane, monkshood). In small doses, it was previously used in medicine as an analgesic, but its use has been discontinued due to high toxicity. It is primarily found in the tubers and leaves of the plants. It is a potent neuro- and cardiotoxin with no known antidote. Death occurs from respiratory paralysis or ventricular fibrillation within 1-6 hours after ingestion.
