Pyrrolizidine is a heterocyclic organic compound. Formally, it is a saturated derivative of pyrrolizine.

Pyrrolizidine forms the central chemical structure of a variety of alkaloids known collectively as pyrrolizidine alkaloids.[1] It is one of five classes of iminosugars. These are often synthesized from a carbohydrate.[2]
