What plants have colchicine?
MOA?
Glory lily
antimiotic by binding to tubilin and inhibiting spindle formation during cell division
rapid dividing cells are more sensitive
Name this plant
Glory Lily
Main toxic Principle: Colchicine alkaloid

Clinical Signs: Antimitotic and damage to all body organs including GI, cardiovascular, respiratory, CNS, hematopoietic
What plants are diterpene alkaloids?
MOA?
larkspur, delphinium
monkshood,aconite

competitive blockade of the nicotine receptors at the muscular endplate
physostigmine or neostigmine is antidote
Name this plant
larkspur,delphinium
Main toxic Principle: Diterpene alklaoids

Clinical Signs: Sudden death and signs of neuromuscular blockade similar to curare, physostigmine or neostigmine is used as antidote
Name this plant
monkshood aconite
Main toxic Principle: Diterpene alkaloids

Clinical Signs: Sudden death, signs of neuromuscular blockade similar to curare, tachyarrhythmias, physostigmine or neostigmine is used as antidote
What plants have indolizine alkaloids?
MOA?
locoweeds
inhibits lysosomal enzymes for glycoproteins
neurotoxic
see animals acting "crazy", depression, ataxic, circling, abnormal behavior
What plants have lycorine alkaloids?
MOA?
narcissus
spider lily

emetic and purgative
bulb is most toxic
see anorexia, salivation, diarrhea
and hypotension
Name this plant
Narcissus daffodil
Main toxic Principle: Lycorine alkaloid in bulb, central ChE inhibitor, calcium oxlate crystals

Clinical Signs: Excessive salivation, severe vomiting and diarrhea, bradycardia, hypotension, convulsions, skin irritation
What plants have muscarine toxin?
MOA?
poisonous mushroom
stimulation of muscarine cholinergic receptors
CNS stimulation

atropine is antidote
What plants have piperidine alkaloids?
MOA?
poison hemlock
tobacco

ave nicotinic effects starting with ganglionic and NM stimulation follow by blockade
see ataxia, incoordination and birth defects
Name this plant
Tobacco
Main toxic Principle: Nicotine (pyridine alkaloid)

Clinical Signs: Vomiting, diarrhea, circulatory collapse, cardiac arrest, tremors, seizures, respiratory failure
What plants have Pyridine alkaloids?
MOA?
tobacco
same as piperadine
acts on nicotinic receptors at autonomic ganglia
low doses cause depolarization
large doses cause blockade
see muscle twitching, muscle weakness and dyspnea
What plants are pyrroliziine alkaloids?
rattlebox
senecio, groundsel and ragwort
hepatotoxic
What plants are solanine and solanidine alkaloids?
black nightshade
eggplant

see GI, CNS, respiratory and cardiac signs
Name this plant
Black nightshade
Main toxic Principle: Solanine and solanidine alkaloids

Clinical Signs: Vomiting, mydriasis, drowsiness
Name this plant
eggplant
Main toxic Principle: Solanine and solanidine alkaloids

Clinical Signs: GI signs, signs similar to atropine
What plants are taxine alkaloids?
japanese yew

cardio and GI toxic
What plants are tropane alkaloids?
jimsonweed, thornapple, angel trumpet
What plant has xanthine alkaloids?
MOA?
cocoa
coffee

blocks adenosine A receptors
inhibits phosphodiesterase
see CNS stimulation, tremors, tchycardia, hypotension, urination
Name this plant
Cocoa
Main toxic Principle: Theobromine (methylxanthine) alkaloid

Clinical Signs: Acts by competitive antagonism to adenosine receptors, signs include vomiting, diarrhea, urination, cardiac arrhythmias, muscle tremors, seizures, coma, death
Name this plant
coffee
Main toxic Principle: Methylxanthine alkaloids

Clinical Signs: GI signs, CNS stimulaion, muscle tremors, urination, tachycardia
