Brunfelsamidine is a poisonous pyrrolidine occurring in several species belonging to the Solanaceous (nightshade family) genus Brunfelsia, which has convulsant and neurotoxic effects.[1] It is a fairly common cause of poisoning among domestic animals such as cows and dogs that eat the plant. Symptoms are similar to poisoning from strychnine and can last from a few hours up to several days.[2] It is also a weak tryptase (type of serine protease) inhibitor[3] and found in Leptonychia pubescens[3]
