OP Anatine made me think of anadine, so I looked it up.
Finig. (My word for zero although it is presently none-existant.) Anyway, although anadine wasn't a word, canadine was, and it's pretty much useless to most of us, but I'll paste its definition just so you can enjoy, along with me, the delicious freedom of probably never having cause to memorize this definition, unless you're a chemist or a doctor:
canadine
C20H21NO4; tetrahydroberberine;an alkaloid present in Hydrastis canadensis (family Ranunculaceae) and in Corydalis cava
(family Fumaraceae) with sedative and muscle relaxant properties.
Synonym: xanthopuccine.
...now:xanthopuccine: that's a cool word! I think it's from the poem, "In Xanthodu did Kubla Kahn a stately porcupine decree..." or something along those lines.
