Biodiversity of the Phytoconstituents in the Some Plant Species Potentially Toxic

Abstract

Editorial List of the toxic plants, contains plants in which all of the plant or only certain parts of it are toxic. In general, poisoning occurs on the digestive system, but some plants, even by touch, may cause poisoning. Factors influencing the seriousness of intoxication are: Individual constitution, age, Characters inherited (hereditary inclination). At some plants, which contain a toxic labile, by boiling toxicity becomes inactive, it decomposes. Toxic plants in fairly high proportion negatively influence the quality. The species characterized from the viewpoint of chemical composition belong to classes such as the following. Aconitum Species Phytoconstituents Aconitine, mesaconitine, lycoctonine and other alkaloids (2% in tubers). Aconitum roots contain catecholamine alkaloids, quaternary ammonium compounds, isoquinolines and different biocompounds.
