A constituent of the leaves of Cocculus laurifolius D.C., isococculidine is a major component of the alkaloidal extract. It furnishes colourless needles when crystallized from C6H6H6-hexane. The alkaloid is dextrorotatory with a specific rotation of [α]D + 124° (c 1.2,
MeOH) and has been shown to possess neuromuscular blocking and hypotensive activities. | [CAS DataBase Reference]
