Anagyrine

Chemical compound

Anagyrine is a teratogenic alkaloid first isolated from Anagyris foetida in the year 1885 by French biologists Hardy and Gallois. A. foetida, the Stinking Bean Trefoil, is a highly toxic shrub native to the Mediterranean region, with a long history of use in folk medicine. In the year 1939 Anagyrine was found by James Fitton Couch to be identical to an alkaloid present in many species belonging to the plant genus Lupinus (lupins). The toxin can cause crooked calf disease if a cow ingests the plant during certain periods of pregnancy.
