Delphinine is a toxic alkaloid (LD50 1.5 mg/kg approx) found in plants from the Delphinium family. It is related in structure and has similar effects to aconitine, acting as an allosteric modulator of voltage gated sodium channels,[1] and producing hypotension, bradycardia and cardiac arrythmia. These effects make it highly poisonous, but in very small doses it has some uses in herbal medicine.[2][3]
