Question

Socrates used coniine, an alkaloid extracted from the poison hemlock plant, to end his life. How is this nitrogen-containing compound best classified?

Answer 1

Coniine Toxicity

Step-by-step explanation:

• Coniine, is poisonous to humans and animal and it is a polyketide-derived alkaloid
• It is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor opponent, which prompts inhibition of the nervous system inevitably causing passing by suffocation in warm blooded animals
• Hemlock poisoning occurs subsequent to ingesting any piece of the plant, for example, seeds, flowers, leaves, or natural products
• All pieces of this plant contain lethal alkaloids that can be deadly even in modest quantities
• The alkaloids can influence nerve drive transmission to your muscles, in the end murdering you through respiratory disappointment
• The seeds and roots are poisonous, more so than the leaves
• Auxiliary alkyl amines have two alkyl bunches that better settle the conjugate corrosive (by their electron-giving inductive impact) than essential alkyl amines do, making optional amines progressively fundamental and it is classified in two types such as secondary, heterocyclic amine
