8-chlorotheophylline salt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Commonly found in drugs that can cause Toxidrome. But in its regular form it is only a powder. Some plants such as Deadly Nightshade contain a potent amount of this powder's toxins in its stem that can be crushed into a very fine white powder. It is very common in most pharmaceutical sedatives. But its purest form is a synthetic element usually industrially made from Deadly Nightshade.
