Usage

Description

Ignavine is an aconitine alkaloid found in various Aconitum species native to Japan. It forms colorless needle-like crystals when crystallized from a mixture of Me2CO and MeOH. Ignavine has a dextrorotatory optical rotation with specific values in MeOH and MeOD. Crystalline salts of the alkaloid, such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, and nitrate, have been prepared with distinct melting points.
