Thevetia peruviana (Pers.) K.Schum. is a taxonomic synonym of Cascabela thevetia (L.) Lippold in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew Plants of the World Online. The species is native from Mexico through tropical South America and is used as an ornamental plant. Its seeds and other plant parts contain cardiac glycosides and have been associated with digoxin-like poisoning, including gastrointestinal symptoms, bradyarrhythmias, conduction disturbances, dysrhythmias, hyperkalemia, and potentially fatal cardiotoxicity.
Source review pending. This descriptive profile is shown from the available source material as a best-effort educational reference. It has not passed the full verification bar and is not a dosing instruction, medical claim, or treatment recommendation.
Reflects preclinical/research literature context only. Not a medical claim, dosing instruction, or treatment recommendation.
No standardized dosage, administration regimen, therapeutic route, or validated human pharmacokinetic profile applies to the intact plant species. Published experimental studies concern specific extracts or isolated constituents and should not be generalized to the whole plant. Toxicity data should be interpreted as hazard information, not as a dosing reference.
Supplementary research context only. Not medical advice or a treatment recommendation.
Accepted name: Cascabela thevetia (L.) Lippold; synonym: Thevetia peruviana (Pers.) K.Schum.; NCBI Taxonomy ID: 52862; family: Apocynaceae; order: Gentianales; genus: Thevetia in the NCBI taxonomy record and Cascabela in the Kew accepted-name treatment.
This record refers to a plant species rather than a single purified chemical entity. Chemical composition varies by plant part, provenance, preparation, and extraction method. All parts are considered toxic in the toxicology literature; seeds are particularly documented in poisoning reports. Botanical identity should be recorded with the accepted name and synonym to reduce nomenclatural ambiguity.
