Anemonin is a compound found in plants of the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae). It is the dimerization product of the toxin protoanemonin[2] and is easily hydrolysed to a dicarboxylic acid.[3]

4,7-Dioxo-2-decenedioic acid, the hydrolysis product of anemonin

The name of the substance comes from the plant genus Anemone, from which it was first identified.[4]

Potential uses

Antispasmodic and analgetic properties have been described.[5]

The compound appears to inhibit pigmentation synthesis, and has therefore been suggested as a potential candidate for cosmetic use.[6]

gollark: Yes, some people are highly uncool like that.

gollark: Also the ridiculously wide-scale mass surveillance in the UK/US/etc.

gollark: > Self replicating robots are fine just as long as you limit its intelligenceYes, I'm sure nothing could go wrong with exponentially increasing amounts of robots. That would definitely go entirely fine.

gollark: Yes.

gollark: I have a closed timelike curve in my basement for receiving screenshots from the future.
