What does BRUCIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A bitter, poisonous alkaloid found in the seeds of the strychnine tree, a variant spelling of brucine.
It is a close chemical relative of strychnine but much weaker, and it is named after the Scottish explorer James Bruce, to whom the plant was once wrongly linked. Chemists have used it to separate mirror-image forms of other compounds, and in the past it was tried as a denaturing agent for alcohol. The spelling brucin without the final e is the older one.
