Phytochemistry, 55(8), 979-982 (2001-01-05)
Phytochemical investigations of Aloe sabaea afforded a new chlorinated amide, N-4'-chlorobutylbutyramide, and the toxic piperidine alkaloids coniine, gamma-coniceine and the quarternary N,N-dimethylconiine. This is the first report of the occurrence of a chlorinated compound in the Aloeaceae family.

Teratogenic alkaloids are found in many species of plants including Conium maculatum L., Nicotiana glauca, Nicotiana tabaccum, and multiple Lupinus spp. Fetal musculoskeletal defects produced by alkaloids from these plants include arthrogyropisis, scoliosis, torticollis, kyposis, lordosis, and cleft palate.

A wide range of plants contain nicotinic and nicotinic-like alkaloids. Of this diverse group, those that have been reported to cause human poisoning appear to have similar mechanisms of toxicity and presenting patients therefore have comparable toxidromes. This review describes
