Senecivernine N-Oxide - Introduction
Senecivernine N-Oxide (aristolochine N-oxide) is a natural organic compound with the chemical formula C15H19NO3. It is a brown or yellow crystalline solid.
Senecivernine N-Oxide mainly exists in some plants, such as aristolochia plants (such as poison ginseng) and alpine nasturtium, etc. It is a cardiotoxin with strong toxicity. Because of its toxicity, it is commonly used as a reagent for pharmacological research in the medical field.
It has also been found that Senecivernine N-Oxide has a protective effect between plants. Some plants synthesize it and release it into their surroundings to ward off attack by grazing animals. This compound can interfere with the animal's digestive system, causing unpleasant symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, thereby preventing the animal from continuing to eat the plant.
The method of preparing Senecivernine N-Oxide is more complex, and generally needs to be extracted from natural plants and synthesized through multi-step reactions. Due to its high toxicity, it is necessary to strictly follow the safety operation specifications and wear protective gloves, goggles and other personal protective equipment during operation. At the same time, direct contact with the skin and inhalation of its powder should be avoided to avoid poisoning. If accidental contact or poisoning, please seek medical attention.
