About this plant
The seeds of Strychnos ignatii contain strychnine, a potent glycine receptor antagonist first discovered in this species by Caventou and Pelletier in 1818. Named after St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. Spanish Jesuits brought the seeds to Europe via the Manila-Acapulco galleon, exemplifying how Jesuit networks created global pharmacological exchange.
