Nux-vomica seeds

Struxine, C2iH3(,04N2, obtained by Schaefer from deteriorated nux-vomica seeds in about 0-1 per cent, yield, is regarded as a decomposition product of strychnine or brucine. It forms rhombic crystals from alcohol, is colourless, but becomes yellow on exposure to light and chars at 250°. It yields normal and acid salts, the latter only from excess of acid. With sulphuric acid it gives no coloration, but addition of potassium dichromate produces a yellow colour changing to green.

Strychnine-Akuammicine-Ellipticine Group. 11-Methoxyicajine (110)77 and 15-hydroxystrychnine,78 a new alkaloid, have been isolated from Strychnos nux-vomica seeds, and 11-methoxydiaboline from S. rubiginosa.58 10-Hydroxy-akuammicine (sewarine) occurs in the leaves of Rauwolfia volkensii,60 and 11-methoxyakuammicine in Alstonia odontophora.59... 

These two alkaloids were first isolated from the mother liquors of strychnine manufacture from Strychnos nux vomica seeds (125). That a-colubrine is 3-methoxystrychnine and /3-coIubrine is 2-methoxy-strychnine follows from permanganate oxidation to the corresponding methoxyoxalylanthranilic acids (125) and from chromic acid oxidation of the two colubridines to diketonucidine (CXXVIII) (111).

Trehalase, found in Polyporus, hydrolyzes trehalose to dextrose. Cytase, found in Nux Vomica seeds, in barley, dates, etc., decomposes hemicellulose and cellulose to galactose and mannose.

The procedure needs little comment other than emphasising the necessity for carrying out certain parts of the method strictly to detail. Some explanatory notes and comments on these particular operations are (a) Nux vomica seeds cannot be ground to powder without drying and it is best to chop them up, dry in a water-oven at 100° until they are friable (taking note of the moisture content) and then grind. 

As reviewed by Ujvary some of the earliest natural product-based pesticides were those for the elimination of vertebrate pests. For example, strychnine (Fig. 19), obtained from seeds of Strychnos nux-vomica, is a rodenticide that is an antagonist to the neurotransmitter glycine and is used against a few mammal species, as well as pest birds and fish. The first generation of anticoagulant rodenticides were based on dicoumarin.

Bulbs and corns are modified underground stems. They are collected when they are fully grown. Bulbs of Allium cepa and Allium sativa are used. Corm of Colchicum autumnale is the source of the drug. Dried seeds provide source of drugs such as Nux vomica and Ignatia. Lycopodium is produced from spores of the plant Lycopodium clavatum, Opium from the latex of the capsules of the poppy plant, Papaver somniferum and Carbo vegetabilis from the charcoal. Whole plants are also used for the preparation of drugs like Aconitum napellus, Calendula officinalis, Chamomilla, Phytolacca decandra (Cook, 1988). 

Yes, psilocybin is just as natural as strychnine (used as rat poison and found naturally in the seed of the nux vomica tree) and cyanide (used as an insecticide and found naturally in the fruit seeds)—but just because it is natural doesn t mean it is safe.
