Nicotiana glauca consumption by pregnant cows or sows produced arthrogryposis and other congenital deformities in their offspring. The plant material administered contained 0.11% anabasine, the suspect teratogen. But concentration varied among various plant parts; woody material was very low but
Death of a worker occurred after ingestion of unknown amounts of Nicotiana glauca G leaves. The leaves were cooked after having been mistakenly considered to be spices of a type which grow in Thailand. After ingestion, two Thai workers collapsed, one with asystolia. Resuscitation efforts were
Nicotiana glauca, wild tree tobacco, induces arthrogrypotic congenital defects in piglets similar to those induced by Nicotiana tabacum, common tobacco. The present work was conducted to isolate the principal alkaloid of N. glauca, anabasine, in large quantity and good purity and to test the
Anabasine (ANA), a major piperidine alkaloid originally isolated from wild tobacco trees (Nicotiana glauca), has been known to induce serious developmental toxicities such as skeletal deformities in livestock and humans. In this study, we thoroughly investigated the supramolecular
A method, based on reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed for the detection and quantification of anabasine, the toxic alkaloid of Nicotiana glauca, in forensic applications. A standard solid phase extraction (SPE) method was used for the extraction of anabasine
Several hairy root cultures of Nicotiana tabacum varieties, carrying two direct repeats of a bacterial lysine decarboxylase (ldc) gene controlled by the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter expressed LDC activity up to 1 pkat/mg protein. Such activity was, for example, sufficient to increase
Administration of Nicotiana glauca to four cows from the 50th to the 75th days of gestation induced congenital deformities in their calves. All four calves had arthrogryposis of forelimbs and one also had spinal curvature and rib cage deformity. The plant material contained 0.113% of the piperidine
Unlike most Nicotiana species, leaf tissues of the globally significant weed Nicotiana glauca Grah. (Argentinian tree tobacco) contains anabasine as the main component of its alkaloid pool, with concentrations typically increasing several fold in response to wounding of plants. The Δ(1)-piperidinium
Anabasine occurring in wild tree tobacco (Nicotiana glauca) and anabaseine occurring in certain animal venoms are nicotinic receptor agonist toxins. Anabasine lacks the imine double bond of anabaseine; the two possible enantiomers of anabasine occur in N. glauca. A comparision of the relative
The induction of cleft palate by Nicotiana glauca (wild tree tobacco) during the first trimester of pregnancy was compared between Spanish-type goats and crossbred western-type sheep. Cleft palate was induced in 100% of the embryonic/fetal goats when their pregnant mothers were gavaged with N.
Teratogenic alkaloids are found in many species of plants including Conium maculatum L., Nicotiana glauca, Nicotiana tabaccum, and multiple Lupinus spp. Fetal musculoskeletal defects produced by alkaloids from these plants include arthrogyropisis, scoliosis, torticollis, kyposis, lordosis, and cleft
