Hydrastinine is a semi-synthetic alkaloid from the hydrolysis of the alkaloid hydrastine , which occurs in the Canadian orange root ( Hydrastis canadensis ). Hydrastinine itself was also found in small amounts in this plant, presumably due to natural hydrolysis processes. It used to be used as a hemostatic (hemostatic).

Semisynthetically, hydrastinine can be obtained in good yield by oxidative cleavage of hydrastine hydrochloride with nitric acid .
