Determination of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in Senecio inaequidens D.C. by capillary gas chromatography.
A study of the toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids contained in Senecio inaequidens D.C., an infestant species of the Senecio genus, widespread in the North East of Italy, is reported. Five of these compounds, senecivernine, senecionine, integerrimine, retrorsine and an analogue of retrorsine, were identified by means of capillary gas chromatography and capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
