n. SiWkon-en. Lat., cinch on in a [U. SPh.], cinchoninum [Ger. Ph. (1st ed.), Swi Ph., Netherl. Ph.], cinch on i a. Fr., c. Ger., Cinch on in. It.. Sp., cinconina [Sp. Ph.J. An alkaloid, C18HMN.,O, isomeric with cinchonidine, occurring alqng-with quinine in various cinchona-barks, especially in the pale cinchona. It forms colorle , transparent, monoclinic, columnar or acicular crystals, of alkaline reaction and bitter taste, soluble in 3,600 parts of water, 100 parts of alcohol, and 370 parts of ether, its solutions being non-fluorescent and dextrogyre. Its salts are employed like those of quinine, but are slower and le certain in action. An isomeric modification, /3-c., occurs, along with quinidine, in quino i dine. [B, 4, 95, 270.] Acetate de c.
