14-Dehydrodelcosine is a norditerpenoid alkaloid derived from plants in the Ranunculaceae family, such as Delphinium species. It is used in phytochemical and pharmacological research to investigate its potential bioactivities, including analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and cardiotonic effects. As a key intermediate in alkaloid synthesis, it facilitates the study of structure-activity relationships in lycoctonine-type alkaloids, particularly those involving dehydrogenation at the C-14 position. This compound is also explored in the development of novel therapeutics from natural sources and in toxicological studies due to the potent biological properties of related alkaloids.
