Cette substance est pulvérulente et blanche; elle cristallise difficilement, est à peine soluble dans l’eau, et se dissout dans l’alcool et l’éther. [...] On l’obtient en traitant à chaud par l’alcool chargé d’une petite quantité d’acide sulfurique les semences pulvérisées de la staphisaigre, passant à chaud, ajoutant à la liqueur un excès de chaux, filtrant et distillant; on chauffe le résidu avec de l’eau aiguisée d’acide sulfurique, et l’on traite par l’ammoniaque. Le précipité est la delphine. Cet alcaloïde est très vénéneux. 4, record 1, French, - benzoate%20de%208%2D%28ac%C3%A9tyloxy%29%2D13%2Dhydroxy%2D1alpha%2C6alpha%2C16%26%23946%3B%2D%20trim%C3%A9thoxy%2D4%2D%28m%C3%A9thoxym%C3%A9thyl%29%2D20%2Dm%C3%A9thylaconitan%2D%2014alpha%2Dyle
