Preferred Label : Diterpene Alkaloids;
MeSH definition : Alkaloids derived from diterpenes (e.g., KAURANES; CLERODANES) often containing the
nitrogen bridge structures. These alkaloids may be divided into C18-, C19-, C20- and
bis-diterpene types depending on the number of carbon atoms in their central framework.
They are found most often in RANUNCULACEAE (e.g., ACONITUM and DELPHINIUM) and may
possess analgesic, antiarrhythmic and anti-inflammatory activities. Some are cardiotoxic
by blocking L-TYPE CALCIUM CHANNELS.;
MeSH synonym : Alkaloids, Diterpene; Diterpene Alkaloid; Alkaloid, Diterpene;
