Yeratroylpseudacoiiine and Diacetylpseudaconitine.—Purushothaman and Chan-drasekharan examined the roots of Aconitum ferox for basic components. Czechoslovakian workers had earlier reported the isolation of seven alkaloids from this species. They identified pseudaconitine (29), bikhaconitine (30), chas-maconitine (31), and indaconitine (32). 

Feraconitine occurs in the tubers of Indian aconite (bish or Aconitum ferox), found in India and Nepal. It is used in arrow poisoning for hunting. Clinically, it is used in treating rheumatism.

Alkaloids of the Aconites.—The different species of Aconitam contain, probably, a number of alkaloids, but our knowledge of them is as yet extremely imperfect. The substances described as aconitin. lycoctanin, napellin are impure." It appears, however, that the principal alkaloids of aconitum napellus and of A. ferox, although differing from each other, are both compounds formed by the union of aeonin, CseHsgITOii, with the radical of benzoic acid in the former, and with that of veratric acid in the latter.
