About monocrotaline

Monocrotaline is an alkaloid extracted from the seed of the Crotalaria spectabilis plant in Legumes.

Monocrotaline has many English aliases, such as crotaline; (13-alpha,14-alpha)-14,19-dihydro-12,13-dihydroxy-20-norcrotalanan-11,15-dio; (13-alpha,14-alpha)-14,19-Dihydro-12,15-dione.

The chemical formula of monocrotaline is C16H23NO6, and the CAS number is 315-22-0.

Monocrotaline a natural ligand exhibits dose-dependent cytotoxicity with potent antineoplastic activity.

MS-based technical means can realize the qualitative and quantitative analysis of monocrotaline.

Sample requirements

Sample demand
Fresh and clean plant / animal samples > 1 g, freeze-dried sample > 0.5 g Animal body fluid samples > 200 µl Stool, etc. > 100 mg
Sample mixed and repeat
Each sample was mixed from more than 6 same condition samples, and quickly put into liquid nitrogen. ※ The same condition refers to the same period, basically the same phenotype, and the same part. It is recommended that prepare more than 6 biological replicates.
Storage and transportation
Quick-frozen preservation with liquid nitrogen can minimize the leakage time of plant samples at room temperature, and store it at -80℃. Dry ice transportation (about 3~4kg dry ice is consumed every day, please use sufficient dry ice for transportation).
