General description

Jervine is a steroid alkaloid present in Veratrum californicum.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Jervine is a potent teratogenic agent. It can induce apoptosis in leukemia cells and MUTZ-1 cells. Jervine is an inhibitor of Hedgehog signaling. It exhibits anti-cancer effects on human prostate cancer. It also increases the chemosensitivity of breast cancer cells to doxorubicin treatment. Jervine may be used for treating hypertension and heart disease.
Jervine is a sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway inhibitor.

We report a case of digoxin-like toxicity because of ingestion of foraged plants. This patient presented with nausea, vomiting, bradycardia, and hypotension after ingesting Veratrum viride (false hellebore). The patient's serum specimen demonstrated a positive digoxin level (0.38 ng/mL) measured

Jervine and retinoic acid are both teratogenic to structures which are initially modelled in cartilage. Differences in periods of maximal sensitivity, as well as in certain aspects of the morphological manifestations of exposure, indicate that these two teratogens act via

Preparative-scale fermentation of the known C-nor-D-homosteroidal jerveratrum alkaloid jervine with Cunninghamella elegans (ATCC 9245) has resulted in the isolation of (-)-jervinone as the major metabolite. In addition, C. elegans ATCC 9245 was able to epimerize C-3 of jervine, producing 3-epi-jervine.
