1 From the Lilly Research Laboratories, Indianapolis, Indiana
1. Cerberin can be isolated from both the oil and the defatted kernels of Cerbera odollam nuts.
2. From a second batch of nuts, a glycoside similar to but not identical with cerberin has been isolated, to which the name of cerberoside has been proposed.
3. Both cerberin and cerberoside have a digitalis-like action. Cerberin is much more potent on the heart than cerberoside.
