Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18763813 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23086230 | https://books.google.ru/books?id=FK2FCAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&hl=ru#v=onepage&q&f=false | http://casopisi.junis.ni.ac.rs/index.php/FUPhysChemTech/article/view/681

Coniine is a neurotoxic piperidine alkaloid found in poison hemlock (Conium maculatum L.). Coniine which is considered to be racemic mixture first described by Gieseke in 1827; von Hoffman confirmed the structure in 1881; Ladenburg perfermed synthesis in 1886. Coniine enantiomers are nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonists. The relative potencies of these enantiomers on TE-671 cells expressing human fetal nicotinic neuromuscular receptors had the rank order of (-)-coniine > (+/-)-coniine > (+)-coniine. The rank order potency in SH-SY5Y cells which predominately express autonomic nAChRs was: (-)-coniine>(+)-coniine> (+/-)-coniine.

Originator

Curator's Comment: Originator for (+)-coniine is unknown. Coniine which is considered to be racemic mixture first described by Gieseke in 1827; von Hoffman confirmed the structure in 1881; Ladenburg perfermed synthesis in 1886.
