| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Retrorsine (RTS) is a retronecine-type pyrrolizidine alkaloid associated with Senecio and Crotalaria species. It belongs to the pyrrolizidine alkaloid family with mito-inhibitory property and elicits hepatotoxicity. It mediates the inactivation of cytochrome P450 3A4. Retrorsine also inhibits replication of fully differentiated hepatocytes. |
