A poisonous alkaloid compound found in hemlock and other toxic plants, known for its dangerous neurological effects.
From Greek 'koneia' (hemlock plant), the same plant from which the poisonous compound is extracted, with the chemical suffix '-ene' added for alkaloid compounds.
Coneen was once used as a sedative in small doses, but it's infamous as the poison Socrates was forced to drink in ancient Athens—one of history's most tragic executions by poison.
