  • Applications

    Strychnine sulfate (CAS 60-41-3) has real-world applications primarily in pest control as a tightly regulated rodenticide; in laboratory research and toxicology as a reference compound and to study neuro-muscular effects; as an intermediate or reference motif in alkaloid synthesis within academic and chemical research settings; and as a calibration or reference material in analytical toxicology for method development and validation.
