[en] Picrotoxin is the toxic constituent of Anamirta cocculus fruits. Crystals of picrotoxin are monoclinic and are an addition component of two almost identical molecules :picrotoxinin, C15H16O6, and picrotin, C15H18O7.The structure of each molecule is compared with the crystal structure of alpha1-bromopicrotoxinin.
