Plants from this genus produce toxic alkaloids and cardiac glycosides g-strophanthin ( syn . ouabain ), k-strophanthin, and e-strophanthin.
22.
Phytochemical constituents detected in the leaves aqueous extracts are saponins, cardiac glycosides, tannins, flavonoid glycosides, free flavonoids and alkaloids.
23.
Yield and concentration of these cardiac glycosides are enhanced by greenhouse cultivation through enhanced temperature and enhanced carbon dioxide concentration.
24.
If the dosage of cardiac glycoside ( i . e . beta-antiarin ) doubles, then the substance becomes a poison.
25.
All parts of the " C . thevetia " plant are toxic to most vertebrates as they contain cardiac glycosides.
26.
The main toxins in " Digitalis " spp . are the two chemically similar cardiac glycosides : digitoxin and digoxin.
27.
Use of the plant is contraindicated in pregnancy, during lactation or with infants due to the small amount of cardiac glycosides.
28.
In addition to bufotenine, " Bufo " venoms also contain digoxin-like cardiac glycosides, and ingestion of the venom can be fatal.
29.
The order Apocynales is renowned for the cardiac glycoside metabolites present in the roots, stems, leaves and seeds of its members.
30.
Toxicity studies of animals administered oleander extract concluded that rodents and birds were observed to be relatively insensitive to oleander cardiac glycosides.
