Product Information
Name:7S-Heliotrine
Brand:Biosynth
Description:7S-Heliotrine is a naturally occurring pyrrolizidine alkaloid, which is derived predominantly from plants of the Boraginaceae family, such as Heliotropium species. This compound's mode of action involves bioactivation by cytochrome P450 enzymes to form highly reactive metabolites, which subsequently bind to cellular macromolecules, leading to cytotoxicity and potential genotoxicity. The primary impact of these reactive species is hepatotoxicity, as they can induce liver damage and veno-occlusive disease. As such, 7S-Heliotrine is often used as a model compound in research studies investigating mechanisms of alkaloid-induced liver injury, as well as contributing to broader studies on chemical carcinogenesis and genotoxic stress responses. Understanding its effects is critical in assessing the risks associated with dietary or medicinal exposure to pyrrolizidine alkaloid-containing plants.
