  • Protabase Record Display Datura Stramonium L
    Protabase Record display www.prota.org Datura stramonium L. Protologue Sp. pl. 1: 179 (1753). Family Solanaceae Chromosome number 2n = 24 Vernacular names Thorn apple, green thorn apple, Jimson weed, Jamestown weed, devil’s apple, devil’s trumpet, stramonium (En). Pomme épineuse, stramoine, datura, feuille du diable, herbe du diable (Fr). Figueira do inferno, pomo espinhoso, erva dos bruxos, palha verde, estramonio (Po). Muranha (Sw). Origin and geographic distribution Datura stramonium is native to the Americas and has been introduced in many tropical, subtropical and even temperate regions. It is a naturalized weed in many African countries, but is probably seriously under-reported. Uses Datura stramonium and Datura metel L. have largely similar medicinal uses throughout the world. The most widely known use of Datura stramonium and of other Datura species is for relieving asthma, cough, tuberculosis and bronchitis by smoking the dried leaves, roots or flowers. ‘Asthma cigarettes’ have been shown to be very effective in some cases, but in other cases they had little or no effect. Cigarettes made with the leaves are also used to treat Parkinson’s disease. A decoction or infusion of leaves is given as a sedative to mental and schizophrenic patients. The leaves are applied as a dressing to cure rheumatic pain, swellings, wounds, gout, burns, ingrown toe-nails, fungal infections, tumours and ulcers. Dried pulverized leaves are dusted on wounds or applied after mixing the powder with fat or Vaseline. In DR Congo pounded fresh root and fresh leaves are soaked in water and the liquid is given in enema as an abortifacient.

  • Scientific Assessment of Ephedra Species (Ephedra Spp.)
    Annex 3 Ref. Ares(2010)892815 – 02/12/2010 Recognising risks – Protecting Health Federal Institute for Risk Assessment Annex 2 to 5-3539-02-5591315 Scientific assessment of Ephedra species (Ephedra spp.) Purpose of assessment The Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL), in collaboration with the ALS working party on dietary foods, nutrition and classification issues, has compiled a hit list of 10 substances, the consumption of which may pose a health risk. These plants, which include Ephedra species (Ephedra L.) and preparations made from them, contain substances with a strong pharmacological and/or psychoactive effect. The Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection has already asked the EU Commission to start the procedure under Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006 for these plants and preparations, for the purpose of including them in one of the three lists in Annex III. The assessment applies to ephedra alkaloid-containing ephedra haulm. The risk assessment of the plants was carried out on the basis of the Guidance on Safety Assessment of botanicals and botanical preparations intended for use as ingredients in food supplements published by the EFSA1 and the BfR guidelines on health assessments2. Result We know that ingestion of ephedra alkaloid-containing Ephedra haulm represents a risk from medicinal use in the USA and from the fact that it has now been banned as a food supplement in the USA. Serious unwanted and sometimes life-threatening side effects are associated with the ingestion of food supplements containing ephedra alkaloids. Due to the risks described, we would recommend that ephedra alkaloid-containing Ephedra haulm be classified in List A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006.

Musah Department of Chemistry, State University of New York at Albany, 1400 Washington Ave, Albany, NY, 12222, USA ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Plants that produce atropine and scopolamine fall under several genera within the nightshade family. Both Hierarchical classification atropine and scopolamine are used clinically, but they are also important in a forensics context because they are Psychoactive plants abused recreationally for their psychoactive properties. The accurate species attribution of these plants, which Seed species identifiction are related taxonomically, and which all contain the same characteristic biomarkers, is a challenging problem in Metabolome profiling both forensics and horticulture, as the plants are not only mind-altering, but are also important in landscaping as Direct analysis in real time-mass spectrometry ornamentals. Ambient ionization mass spectrometry in combination with a hierarchical classification workflow Chemometrics is shown to enable species identification of these plants. The hierarchical classification simplifies the classifi- cation problem to primarily consider the subset of models that account for the hierarchy taxonomy, instead of having it be based on discrimination between species using a single flat classification model. Accordingly, the seeds of 24 nightshade plant species spanning 5 genera (i.e. Atropa, Brugmansia, Datura, Hyocyamus and Mandragora), were analyzed by direct analysis in real time-high resolution mass spectrometry (DART-HRMS) with minimal sample preparation required.

The method is based on a generic solid-phase extraction procedure, using three sorbent phases in two cartridges that are connected in series, hence covering a wide range of polarities, followed by liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry. The acquisition was performed in the full-scan and data-dependent modes while working under positive and negative ionisation conditions. This method was applied in order to assess the natural toxins in the Ter River water reservoirs, which are used to produce drinking water for Barcelona city (Spain). The study was carried out during a period of seven months, covering the expected prior, during, and post-peak blooming periods of the natural toxins. Fifty-three (53) compounds were tentatively identified, and nine of these were confirmed and quantified. Phytotoxins were identified as the most frequent group of natural toxins in the water, particularly the alkaloids group.

  • Alpha-Tomatine Content in Tomato and Tomato Products Determined By
    J. Agric. Food Chem. 1995, 43, 1507-151 1 1507 a-Tomatine Content in Tomato and Tomato Products Determined by HPLC with Pulsed Amperometric Detection Mendel Friedman* and Carol E. Levin Food Safety and Health Research Unit, Western Regional Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 800 Buchanan Street, Albany, California 94710 Tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum) synthesize the glycoalkaloid a-tomatine, possibly as a defense against insects and other pests. As part of an effort to improve the safety of plant foods, the usefulness of a new HPLC pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) method for the direct analysis of a-tomatine in different parts of the tomato plant; in store-bought and field-grown, including transgenic, tomatoes; in a variety of commercial and home-processed tomato products; and in eggplant and tomatillos was evaluated. The method was found to be useful for analysis of a variety of products including high-tomatine calyxes, flowers, leaves, roots, and stems of the tomato plant (14-130 mg/100 g of fresh weight), low-tomatine red tomatoes (0.03-0.08 mg/100 g), intermediate- tomatine tomatoes (0.1-0.8 mg/100 g), and high-tomatine fresh and processed green, including pickled and fried, tomatoes (0.9-55 mg/100 g). No experimental difficulties were encountered with extraction and analysis of tomatine in complex foods such as tomato juice, ketchup, salsa, sauce, and sun-dried tomatoes. Microwaving and frying did not significantly affect tomatine levels of tomato foods. The tomatine content of fresh market and transgenic delayed-ripening varieties was not different from the range ordinarily seen in tomato.

No pasaremos en silencio una de las cosas que á nuestro modo de ver llamará la atención... toman un bejuco llamado Ayahuasca (bejuco de muerto ó almas) del cual hacen un lijero cocimiento...esta bebida es narcótica, como debe suponerse, i á pocos momentos empieza a producir los mas raros fenómenos...Yo, por mí, sé decir que cuando he tomado el Ayahuasca he sentido rodeos de cabeza, luego un viaje aéreo en el que recuerdo percibia las prespectivas mas deliciosas, grandes ciudades, elevadas torres, hermosos parques i otros objetos bellísimos; luego me figuraba abandonado en un bosque i acometido de algunas fieras, de las que me defendia; en seguida tenia sensación fuerte de sueño del cual recordaba con dolor i pesadez de cabeza, i algunas veces mal estar general. Manuel Villavicencio Geografía de la República del Ecuador (1858) Das, was den Indianer den “Aya-huasca-Trank” lieben macht, sind, abgesehen von den Traumgesichten, die auf sein persönliches Glück Bezug habenden Bilder, die sein inneres Auge während des narkotischen Zustandes schaut.

El fet que aquest treball sobre la farmacologia humana de l’ayahuasca hagi estat una realitat es deu fonamentalment al suport constant del seu director, el Manel Barbanoj. Voldria expressar-li la meva gratitud pel seu recolzament entusiàstic d’aquest projecte, molt allunyat, per la natura del fàrmac objecte d’estudi, dels que fins al moment s’havien dut a terme a l’Àrea d’Investigació Farmacològica de l’Hospital de Sant Pau.
