Preferred Label : monocrotaline;
MeSH definition : A pyrrolizidine alkaloid and a toxic plant constituent that poisons livestock and
humans through the ingestion of contaminated grains and other foods. The alkaloid
causes pulmonary artery hypertension, right ventricular hypertrophy, and pathological
changes in the pulmonary vasculature. Significant attenuation of the cardiopulmonary
changes are noted after oral magnesium treatment.;
