Ptomaine \Pto"ma*ine\, n. [From Gr. ? a dead body.] (Physiol.
   Chem.)
   One of a class of animal bases or alkaloids formed in the
   putrefaction of various kinds of albuminous matter, and
   closely related to the vegetable alkaloids; a cadaveric
   poison. The ptomaines, as a class, have their origin in dead
   matter, by which they are to be distinguished from the
   leucomaines.
