Piperidine alkaloids: human and food animal teratogens.
Piperidine alkaloids are acutely toxic to adult livestock species and produce musculoskeletal deformities in neonatal animals. These teratogenic effects include multiple congenital contracture (MCC) deformities and cleft palate in cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats. Poisonous plants containing teratogenic piperidine alkaloids include poison hemlock (Conium maculatum), lupine (Lupinus spp.), and tob...

It is a sobering thought that the first of these mechanisms is dignified by the name 'contraception' and that the remainder have far less medicolegal and economic significance than the survival of a defective fetus after a less drastic chemical...
متن کاملToxic plants as possible human teratogens
r r a t o g e n s are substances that cause birth defects. Although nongenetic deformities have been recorded throughout human history, evidence that they could be caused by exposure to toxic chemicals did not appear until the 1930s, and it was the 1961 Thalidomide episode that generated today’s public concern over teratogenic chemicals. Compounds as chemically diverse as vitamin D, quinine, as...
