Infobox references

Coriamyrtin is a toxic γ-lactone naturally present in a multitude of plants.

Natural occurrence

Coriamyrtin can be found in Scurrula parasitica,[2] Coriaria microphylla,[3] Coriaria nepalensis,[4] and certain other plants.

Toxicity

Coriamyrtin is a convulsant.[5] It appears to act via antagonism of GABAA receptors.[6] Poisoning is usually from ingestion of parts of the plants containing it. A case of poisoning was able to be treated with repeated administration of diazepam, an anticonvulsant.[4]
