Bioequivalence & Bioavailability of the Phytoconstituents in Some Plant Species Potentially Toxic

The ancolies are regarded as dangerous (seeds). The alkaloids which they contain bring closer aconitine but their toxicity is definitely less. Their extreme acridness generally avoids poisonings. The plant’s seeds and roots are highly poisonous however, and contain cardiogenic toxins which cause both severe gastroenteritis and heart palpitations if consumed as food. Folk medicine used very small amounts of Aquilegia root as an effective treatment for ulcers. However, the medical use of this plant is better avoided due to its high toxicity; poisonings may be fatal [1].
