Trichodesmine
CAS: 548-90-3
CAT: 6242
Abstract
Trichodesmine (CAS 548-90-3) is a naturally occurring pyrrolizidine alkaloid primarily found in plants of the Trichodesma genus and related Boraginaceae species. It is structurally related to other hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids such as monocrotaline.
Trichodesmine has been studied for its toxicological profile, including higher lethality and neurotoxicity compared to some related alkaloids. In analytical chemistry and phytochemistry, it serves as an important reference standard for the detection, quantification, and quality control of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in herbal medicines, botanical extracts, and contaminated food or feed products. High-purity trichodesmine is essential for method development, validation, and regulatory monitoring of these potentially toxic compounds.
Planta Analytica provides high-purity trichodesmine as an analytical reference standard to support accurate quantification, toxicological research, and safety testing in laboratories worldwide.
