Thevetin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thevetins are a group of poisonous cardiac glycosides. They are obtained especially from the seeds of a West Indian shrub or small tree (Cascabela thevetia syn. Thevetia nereifolia) of the dogbane family (Apocynaceae).[1] Hydrolysis products include glucose, digitalose, and a sterol.[1]
