Definition
An isomeric component of batrachotoxin; the strongest neurotoxin among venoms. It is a steroidal alkaloid. The A form is only 1/500 as strong as the complete venom, but is still as toxic as strychnine. It is found in the so-called poison dart frog of Colombia. Its structure has been elucidated; when synthesized it may prove useful in medicine.
