Protoanemonin
5-methylidene-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-one
Protoanemonin (sometimes called anemonol or ranunculol) is a toxin found in all plants of the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae). On maceration, for example when the plant is wounded, it is produced by an enzymatic process from the glucoside ranunculin. It is the lactone of 4-hydroxy-2,4-pentadienoic acid. A wounded plant releases the substance, causing itch, rashes or blistering on contact with the skin or mucosa. (Wikipedia)
