ABSTRACT Monocrotaline (MCT), a plant‐derived pyrrolizidine alkaloid, is well known for its hepatotoxic effects. However, full elucidation of the mechanisms underlying MCT‐induced hepatotoxicity, as well as the development of reliable biomarkers for early detection and monitoring, requires an integrated evaluation of biochemical, molecular, and ...

The pyrrolizidine alkaloids of Senecio chrysocoma and Senecio paniculatus [PDF]
In order to compare the pyrrolizidine alkaloid content of two closely related species, Senecio chrysocoma and S. paniculatus, nine populations of plants distributed between the two species, were examined. Three novel pyrrolizidine alkaloids, 7ß-angelyl-l-
