General description
Ricinine is an alkaloidal toxin primarily sourced from castor beans (Ricinus communis). It belongs to the piperidine alkaloids group and contains a cyano group in its structure that contributes to its toxicity.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Dueto its toxicity, ricinine possesses insecticidal, antibacterial, and antifungalproperties against many species. It serves as a preliminary biomarker for therapid detection of ricin in blood and urine samples.

The alkaloid ricinine, an insecticide for leaf-cutting ant (Atta sexdens rubropilosa), was obtained from Ricinus communis. A two-phase solvent system composed of CH(2)Cl(2)/EtOH/H(2)O (93:35:72, v/v/v) was used for high-speed counter-current chromatographic (HSCCC) isolation of ricinine in high yield and with
