Oleandrin is a cardiac glycoside found in the poisonous plant oleander (Nerium oleander L.). As a main phytochemical of oleander, oleandrin is associated with the toxicity of oleander sap, and has similar properties to digoxin. Oleandrin and other oleander chemicals are potentially toxic to the heart, liver, and kidneys.
