Extracts from the true forget-me-not, Myosotis scorpioides L., are reported to have a curare-like action on animals- Meinwald and co-workers have extracted a mixture of pyrrolizidine alkaloids from aerial parts of this species, and have shown that this mixture is responsible for the observed biological activity. ...
