cytisine/lupinus

Fourteen quinolizidine alkaloids, isolated from Lupinus albus, L. mutabilis, and Anagyris foetida, were analyzed for their affinity for nicotinic and/or muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Of the compounds tested, the alpha-pyridones, N-methylcytisine and cytisine, showed the highest affinities at

The nutrient composition, toxic factors content, and nutritional and toxicological value of Lupinus splendens, L. rotundiflorus, L. elegans, L. simulans, L. exaltatus, L. reflexus, and L. madrensis species from Mexico were analyzed. The seeds of these species were a good source of protein. All the

A new lupin alkaloid, (+)-sparteine N-16-oxide was isolated from Lygos raetam var. sarcocarpa, together with five known alkaloids: (+)-aphylline, (+)-17 oxosparteine, (-)-5,6-dehydrolupanine, (-)-N-formyl cytisine and (+)-ammodenderine. The structure of the new alkaloid including absolute

A purified alkaloid preparation containing N-methylcytisine, cytisine, 5,6-dehydrolupanine, thermopsine and anagyrine from Thermopsis montana induced prolonged recumbency and microscopic acute hyaline skeletal myodegeneration with myofibre regeneration in cattle similar in type and severity to that
