Scope note: Grupo de ALCALOIDES caracterizados por una necina que contiene nitrógeno, que se encuentran principalmente en las familias de plantas BORAGINACEAE, COMPOSITAE y FABACEAE. Pueden ser activados en el higado por hidrolisis del éster y la desaturación de la base necina para reactivar las CITOTOXINAS pirrólicas electrofílicas.

Scope note: A group of ALKALOIDS, characterized by a nitrogen-containing necine, occurring mainly in plants of the BORAGINACEAE; COMPOSITAE; and LEGUMINOSAE plant families. They can be activated in the liver by hydrolysis of the ester and desaturation of the necine base to reactive electrophilic pyrrolic CYTOTOXINS.
