Hydrastine is a natural alkaloid which was discovered in 1851 by Alfred P. Durand.^[1] Hydrolysis of hydrastine yields hydrastinine, which was patented by Bayer as a haemostatic drug^[2] during the 1910s.

It is naturally present in Hydrastis canadensis (thus the name) and other plants of the ranunculaceae family.
