Conessine is a steroid alkaloid found in a number of plant species from the Apocynaceae family, including Holarrhena floribunda,[1] Holarrhena antidysenterica[2] and Funtumia elastica,[3] several of which are used in traditional herbal medicine as a treatment for amoebic dysentery.[4] It acts as a histamine antagonist, selective for the H3 subtype.[5]
