Toxicological properties and chemical profiling of native plants geographically distributed in and around thrissur district, kerala, india
Journal of critical reviews(2020)
摘要
Plants are living factories producing thousands of secondary metabolites. We have a general concept that
plants and plant products are harmless. However, more than 700 plants produce physiologically active toxic
substances, sufficient to cause harmful effects in human beings and animals. In some plants, one part may be
edible while another is poisonous. Lack of toxicological evaluation of natural products leads to the false concept
that natural products are safe. Even herbal food ingredients may contain some Phyto-constituents known to
produce genotoxic or carcinogenic components after prolonged dose depended exposure. Poisonous plants
produce several toxic substances at various concentrations at different organs and cause responses ranging from
mild nausea to mortality. Certain animal species may have a specific vulnerability to a potentially poisonous
plant. Plant toxins belong to different categories. The reviewed plants are classified into nine based on the
significant category of poisons:
