Brucine

Brucine, an alkaloid closely related to strychnine, is most commonly found in the "Strychnos nux-vomica" tree. Brucine poisoning is rare, since it is usually ingested with strychnine, and strychnine is more toxic than brucine. In synthetic chemistry, it can be used as a tool for stereospecific chemical syntheses.
