Product Information

• Name: Senecivernine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Senecivernine is a pyrrolizidine alkaloid, which is a naturally occurring compound found in various species of the Senecio genus. These alkaloids are derived from the plants' metabolic pathways and serve ecological roles, such as deterring herbivores. Senecivernine acts by disrupting cellular processes through the formation of reactive metabolites, which can bind to and damage macromolecules like DNA and proteins. This can lead to cytotoxicity and genotoxicity, contributing to the compound's classification as potentially hepatotoxic.
