Abstract
In recent years, Witkop and coworkers have isolated several structurally unique alkaloids from the colombian frog belonging to the genera Dendrobates. These alkaloids, which occur in the defensive skin secretions of the frog have been found to be highly active venoms as well as mucosal tissue irritants towards both mammals and reptiles. Among them are three important alkaloids histrionicotoxin, isodihydrohistronicotoxin and octahydrohistronicotoxin.
