Ricinine is an alkaloidal toxin primarily sourced from castor beans (Ricinus communis). It belongs to the piperidine alkaloids group and contains a cyano group in its structure that contributes to its toxicity.
생화학적/생리학적 작용
Dueto its toxicity, ricinine possesses insecticidal, antibacterial, and antifungalproperties against many species. It serves as a preliminary biomarker for therapid detection of ricin in blood and urine samples.

Ricin is a type II ribosome-inactivating protein toxin consisting of A and B chains linked by one interchain disulfide bond. Because of its high toxicity depending on both chains together, confirming the presence of both A and B chains of

Ricin is a highly toxic agent derived from the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis). Poisoning occurs commonly by oral ingestion of the beans. Injection of ricin is believed to be more lethal. Ricin is a large glycosylated protein difficult to
Low temperatures profoundly influence the physiological and behavioural processes of ectotherms, especially teleosts, which have made them the subjects of strong interest over time. However, the characteristics of fish cold-tolerance at the protein level remain unclear. Therefore, to shed further
Medicinal plant-based therapies can be important for treatment of cancer owing to high efficiency, low cost and minimal side effects. Here, we report the anti-cancer efficacy of Ricinus communis L. fruit extract (RCFE) using estrogen positive MCF-7 and highly aggressive
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have listed the potential bioweapon ricin as a Category B Agent. Ricin is a so-called A/B toxin produced by plants and is one of the deadliest molecules known. It is easy to prepare
