Pyrrolizidine alkaloid plants, metabolism and toxicity.
- B. Stegelmeier, J. Edgar, +4 authors R. Molyneux
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of natural toxins
- 1 February 1999
More than 350 PAs have been identified in over 6,000 plants in the Boraginaceae, Compositae, and Leguminosae families (Table 1). About half of the identified PAs are toxic and several have been shown… Expand
