Senecionine

CAS: 130-01-8
CAT: 6223

Abstract

Senecionine (CAS 130-01-8) is a pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA). It comes from plants in the Senecio genus and also appears in some species of the Jacobaea genus.

Bees can collect nectar from these plants and produce honey that contains senecionine. Because of this, scientists now monitor pyrrolizidine alkaloid levels in honey and honey-based products.
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids are natural compounds made by certain plants. About half of them are toxic and can cause cancer. These alkaloids poison grazing animals and livestock when they eat contaminated plants or feed. Humans then become exposed through contaminated food such as grains, honey, and milk. They can also ingest these alkaloids through herbal medicines and dietary supplements.
The plants that produce senecionine are toxic to livestock. Farmers consider them undesirable weeds in pastures and fields.

Planta Analytica supplies high-purity senecionine as an analytical reference standard. This product helps laboratories accurately measure pyrrolizidine alkaloids in honey, herbal products, and animal feed.
