Cerberin is a type of cardiac glycoside, found in the seeds of the dicotyledonous angiosperm genus Cerbera; including the suicide tree (Cerbera odollam) and the sea mango (Cerbera manghas). As a cardiac glycoside, cerberin disrupts the function of the heart by blocking its sodium and potassium ATPase.[2] Cerberin can be used as a treatment for heart failure and arrhythmia.[3]

Overconsumption of cerberin results in poisoning. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and bradycardia, often leading to death.[4] Cerberin containing plants such as Cerbera odollam have historically been used for suicide and homicide in their growth regions due to their high toxicity.
