DescriptionDelphinine is a plant toxin found in species of Larkspur (Delphinium family). It is related in structure and has similar effects to aconitine, acting as an allosteric modulator of voltage gated sodium channels, and producing hypotension, bradycardia and cardiac arrhythmia. It is highly poisonous, but in very small doses it has some uses in herbal medicine. (1)
