Senecionine
Senecionine is a pyrrolizidine alkaloid isolated from the plant species of the genus Senecio. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a lactone, a pyrrolizidine alkaloid and a tertiary alcohol. It is functionally related to a senecionan. It is a conjugate base of a senecionine(1+). Senecionine is a natural product found in Dorobaea pimpinellifolia, Crotalaria micans, and other organisms with data available. Senecionine is an organic compound with the chemical formula C18H25NO5. It is classified as a pyrrolizidine alkaloid. See also: Petasites hybridus root (part of); Tussilago farfara flower (part of); Tussilago farfara leaf (part of).

Retrorsine
Retrorsine is a naturally occurring toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloid found in certain plants. Despite its toxicity, it may have several biological functions, both in the plants that produce it and in the organisms that ingest it. Here are some possible biological functions of Retrorsine: Defense Mechanism: In plants, Retrorsine likely serves as a chemical defense against herbivores and pathogens. Its toxicity can deter animals from feeding on the plant and can inhibit the growth of microbial pathogens. Allelopathy: Retrorsine may be involved in allelopathy, which is the process by which plants release chemicals into the environment to inhibit the growth of competing plants. This can help the producing plant secure resources such as light, water, and nutrients. Insecticidal Properties: The compound may have insecticidal properties, helping to protect the plant from insect pests. Medicinal Uses: In traditional medicine, plants containing Retrorsine have been used for their supposed medicinal properties, although the use is cautioned due to the compound's toxicity. Ecological Role: Retrorsine may play a role in the ecological interactions of the plant, affecting the behavior and population dynamics of herbivores and other organisms in the ecosystem. Cell Cycle Inhibition: In biological systems, Retrorsine has been shown to inhibit cell proliferation, particularly in liver cells. This property is of interest in medical research for understanding liver toxicity and cancer. Genotoxic Effects: Retrorsine can bind to DNA, causing genotoxic effects. This can lead to mutations and has implications for cancer research. Pharmacological Research: Due to its biological activity, Retrorsine is used in pharmacological research to study the mechanisms of toxicity, carcinogenesis, and potential therapeutic targets. It's important to note that while Retrorsine has these potential biological functions, its toxicity makes it hazardous to humans and animals, and it is not used in modern medicine due to the risks associated with its ingestion. Research on Retrorsine is typically focused on understanding its mechanisms of action and toxicity to inform safety guidelines and potential therapeutic applications.
