D’Auria Received: 20 December 2018; Accepted: 29 January 2019; Published: 30 January 2019 Abstract: Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are heterocyclic secondary metabolites with a typical pyrrolizidine motif predominantly produced by plants as defense chemicals against herbivores. They display a wide structural diversity and occur in a vast number of species with novel structures and occurrences continuously being discovered. These alkaloids exhibit strong hepatotoxic, genotoxic, cytotoxic, tumorigenic, and neurotoxic activities, and thereby pose a serious threat to the health of humans since they are known contaminants of foods including grain, milk, honey, and eggs, as well as plant derived pharmaceuticals and food supplements. Livestock and fodder can be affected due to PA-containing plants on pastures and fields. Despite their importance as toxic contaminants of agricultural products, there is limited knowledge about their biosynthesis. While the intermediates were well defined by feeding experiments, only one enzyme involved in PA biosynthesis has been characterized so far, the homospermidine synthase catalyzing the first committed step in PA biosynthesis. This review gives an overview about structural diversity of PAs, biosynthetic pathways of necine base, and necic acid formation and how PA accumulation is regulated. Furthermore, we discuss their role in plant ecology and their modes of toxicity towards humans and animals. Finally, several examples of PA-producing crop plants are discussed.

Introduction Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are heterocyclic organic compounds synthesized by plants that are thought to act as defense compounds against herbivores [1]. Estimates indicate that approximately 6.000 plant species worldwide, representing 3% of all flowering plants, produce these secondary metabolites. In particular, members of the Asteraceae, Boraginaceae, Heliotropiaceae, Apocynaceae, and some genera of the Orchidaceae and the Fabaceae are PA producers [2]. Reported concentrations vary greatly, from trace amounts to up to 19% dry weight, and are considered to be dependent on a number of factors including the developmental stage, tissue type, environmental conditions, and extraction procedures [3]. PAs consist of a necine base esterified with a necic acid. The necine base typically includes pyrrolizidine, a bicyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon consisting of two fused five-membered rings with a nitrogen at the bridgehead [4] (Figure1). Loline alkaloids may be formally considered as PAs since they also possess a pyrrolizidine system, although it contains an ether bridge linking carbon 2 (C-2) and carbon 7 (C-7). While stricto sensu PAs are exclusively formed in plants, lolines are synthesized by Molecules 2019, 24, 498; doi:10.3390/molecules24030498 www.mdpi.com/journal/molecules Molecules 2019, 24, 498 2 of 44 Molecules 2018, 23, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 45 endophytic fungal symbionts of the genus Epichloë [5].

The aim was to find out the thermal regions in the São Paulo state where the pest could develop on Crotalaria spp. The insects were reared on an artificial diet based on the white beans and yeast. U. ornatrix thermal requirements were tested at 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 30, and 32ºC 70±20% RH, and 14-h photophase. Lower threshold temperatures (TT) and thermal constants (K) for the egg, larval and pupal stages were 12.7ºC and 51.2 GDD, 13.5ºC and 290.9 GDD, 13.8ºC and 108.4 GDD, respectively; TT and K values for the biological cycle were 13.8ºC and 436.3 GDD. Key words: Crotalaria , Rattlebox moth, rearing technique INTRODUCTION In the past few years, the area planted to the crotalaria has increased significantly, reaching The Rattlebox moth, Utetheisa ornatrix (L., 1758) about 3,000 ha in Brazil (José Aparecido Donizete (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae), is considered to be the Cardoso, personal comunication).

Jeffrey (1986) (Family: Asteraceae), has synonyms Senecio biafrae Olive and Hierne (1877) and Crassocephalum biafrae (Olive and Hierne) S. Moore (1912). It is a perennial standent, underutilized African indigenous medicinal vegetable. It was first reported and published in Flora of Tropical Africa. Its common names varied from Gnanvule in Cote d’Ivoire to Worowo/bologi in Nigeria. It has alternate, simple, succulent, petiolated, and exauriculate leaves. Its propagation is vegetative by rooting of cuttings. However, there is no report on its propagation by seed. It is ubiquitous in cocoa plots in Nigeria, especially southwest; due to deliberate protection for economic revenue, but this has little‑uncoordinated cultivation indication. These deliberately protected few are exposed to contamination by a chemical used for protecting cocoa plants. It is highly nutritive and rich in protein. It is also medicinally important as a galactagogue and for treatment of diabetes, high blood pressure, and infertility. It has biological activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. It also has traditional and cultural claims for initiation and rituals.

Received: 27 November 2010; in revised form: 12 January 2011 / Accepted: 13 January 2011 / Published: 23 June 2011 Abstract: Recently, considerable attention has been focused on dietary and medicinal phytochemicals that inhibit, reverse or retard diseases caused by oxidative and inflammatory processes. Vernonia amygdalina is a perennial herb belonging to the Asteraceae family. Extracts of the plant have been used in various folk medicines as remedies against helminthic, protozoal and bacterial infections with scientific support for these claims. Phytochemicals such as saponins and alkaloids, terpenes, steroids, coumarins, flavonoids, phenolic acids, lignans, xanthones, anthraquinones, edotides and sesquiterpenes have been extracted and isolated from Vernonia amygdalina. These compounds elicit various biological effects including cancer chemoprevention. Garcinia kola (Guttiferae) seed, known as ―bitter kola‖, plays an important role in African ethnomedicine and traditional hospitality. It is used locally to treat illnesses like colds, bronchitis, bacterial and viral infections and liver diseases. A number of useful phytochemicals have been isolated from the seed and the most prominent of them is the Garcinia bioflavonoids mixture called kolaviron.
