Lobeline
Lobeline is an alkaloid found in lobelia and other plants. Lobeline has many pharmacological activities, such as to act as a central nervous system stimulant and, subsequently, a depressant. Lobeline is also an expectorant. In large amounts it causes vomiting and acts as a diuretic. In excessive amounts, it will lead to convulsions and collapse, and can lead to death. Therapeutically, lobeline is used as a respiratory stimulant.
