Conhydrine is a chemical compound classified as an alkaloid, primarily derived from the plant Conium maculatum, commonly known as poison hemlock. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. Conhydrine is known for its structural similarity to other piperidine alkaloids, which contributes to its biological activity. The compound exhibits a basic nature, allowing it to form salts with acids. Its molecular formula is C7H13N, and it has a relatively low molecular weight. Conhydrine is of interest in pharmacology due to its potential effects on the nervous system, although it is also associated with toxicity, particularly when derived from its natural sources. The compound's safety profile necessitates careful handling, as it can be harmful if ingested or improperly managed. In laboratory settings, conhydrine may be utilized in research related to alkaloid synthesis and the study of its pharmacological properties.
