Changes in plant chemical defenses after invasion could have consequences on the invaded ecosystems by modifying the interactions between plants and herbivores and facilitating invasion success. However, no comprehensive biogeographical studies have yet determined the phenotypic levels of plant
In choice experiments with artificial leaves, we tested related pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) for their stimulatory effects on the oviposition of the cinnabar moth, a specialist on the PA-containing plant Senecio jacobaea. The PAs from S. jacobaea that we tested stimulated oviposition. Monocrotaline
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are feeding deterrents and toxic compounds to generalist herbivores. Among the PAs of Jacobaea vulgaris Gaertn, jacobine and erucifoline are the most effective against insect herbivores as indicated by correlative studies. Because little is known about the effect of
OBJECTIVE
To study alkaloids of Senecio scandens growing in Guangdong.
METHODS
The rapid resolution liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (RRLC-ESI-MS/MS) was used to analyse alkaloids of Senecio scandens growing in Guangdong, and senkirkine was isolated and purified by
Senecio scandens Buch.-Ham is a plant source for a commonly used traditional Chinese medicinal (TCM) herb Qianliguang. A TCM herbal proprietary product containing Qianliguang as the major herb for the treatment of sinusitis has been used in China for several decades, and has also been exported to
Three new monoterpene glucosides, solidagin A, B, and C (1-3), together with two known alkaloids, senecionine (4) and senkirkine (5), were isolated from Senecio solidagineus, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectral analysis.
Root cultures of Senecio vulgaris, S. vernalis, S. erucifolius and S. squalidus were established. The patterns of pyrrolizidine alkaloids found in these root cultures were analyzed by high-resolution GC and GC-MS and compared with the alkaloids present in the respective plants. In vitro cultured
BACKGROUND
This study evaluated the degradation of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) from eastern groundsel (
Senecio vernalis) in grass silage prepared with different inoculants. Silages were produced from ryegrass with 230 g kg
-1 dry matter (DM) content and mixed with
Diets with 0.0, 0.5,2.0, or 4.0% ground-aerIal parts of Senecio vernalis were fed to groups of 10 laying hens for 210 d. Plant alkaloid content was 0.14% with 8.57% in the basic form and 91.43% in the N-oxide form. Specific alkaloids were senecionin (66.65%), senecivernin (10.37%), seneciphylline
A gas-chromatographical method is described on which seven pyrrolizidine alkaloids (Fuchsisenecionine, Senecionine, Senecivernine, Senkirkine, Retrorsine, O (7)-Angelylheliotridine and Heliotrine) are determinated in a qualitative way and their ratio of concentration in Senecio fuchsii, vernalis,
Although Senecio species are known as sources of potentially toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), some species of this genus are traditionally used as remedies, notably in Algeria. In this paper, the evaluation of biological activities and the analysis of PAs of Algerian specimens of Senecio
Ten 12-membered macrocyclic pyrrolizidine alkaloids, all of them esters of the necines, retronecine or otonecine, have been isolated from Senecio anonymus. The separation, carried out by droplet counter-current chromatography, afforded senecionine [1], integerrimine [2], retrorsine [3], senkirkine
