Vasoconstriction, dec uterine blood flow, abortion
MOA Quinones
Primary photosensitization
MOA Tannic acid
Tissue damage- GI lesions, kidney damage
MOA Triterpene acids
Liver damage and hepatogenic photosensitization
MOA Colchicine
Antimitotic by inhibiting spindle formation (especially in rapidly dividing cells)
MOA Diterpene alkaloids
Competitive blockade of nicotinic receptors at muscle endplate similar to curare
CS Diterpene alkaloids
Sudden death, muscle weakness, stiffness, staggering, bloating. collapse
Tx diterpene alkaloids
Physostigmine
MOA Ergot alkaloids
Vasoconstriction and gangrene, uterine contraction and abortion-chronic
MOA Indolizidine alkaloids (Swainsonine)
Inhibit lysosomal enzymes needed for glycoprotein formation altering cell function in brain, etc., nitropropanol glycoside (peripheral n. degeneration + resp. signs) and selenium (hoof + hair abnormalities)
MOA Lycorine
Emetic and purgative
MOA Muscarine
Muscarinic cholinergic receptor stimulation, CNS stimulation
MOA Piperidine alkaloids
Nicotinic effects, ganglionic + NM stimulation followed by blockade, NM blockade prevents fetal movement resulting in birth defects

GI, CNS, respiratory and cardiac- similar to ATROPINE
MOA Taxine alkaloids
Cardiotoxic like digitalis
MOA Tropane alkaloids
GI, CNS, mydriasis, tachycardia- like atropine
Tx Tropane alkaloids
Physostigmine
MOA Xanthine alkaloids
Blocking adenosine receptors, inhibiting phosphodiesterase
CS Xanthine alkaloids
salivation, V, colic, D, CNS stim, seizures, muscle tremors, tachycardia, hypotension, urination
MOA Anthraquinones
Purgative, skeletal and cardiac muscle degeneration, coffee colored urine, kidney damage
MOA Calcinogenic glycosides
Vitamin D analog
MOA Carboxyatractyloside
Hepatotoxicity, excessive salivation, renal damage, hypoglycemia
MOA Cardiac glycoside
Inhibits Na/K ATPase, cardiotoxic, GI and skin irritation
MOA Coumarin glycoside
Form dicoumarol in spoiled plants. Hemorrhage from vit K antagnoism via inhibition of vit K epoxide reductase leasing to factor 2,7,9,10 def
