Application

Retrorsine has been used:
  • as a mito-inhibitory pyrrolizidine alkaloid compound to induce necrotic liver injury in rats
  • to induce hepatocellular injury in rats
  • to arrest endogenous hepatocyte growth in mice

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.

The therapeutic effects of bone marrow and hepatocyte transplantation were investigated regarding the treatment of retrorsine-partial hepatectomy-induced liver injury. Analbuminemic F344alb rats were given two doses of retrorsine 2 wk apart, followed 4 wk later by transplantation with F344 rat

Pretreatment with retrorsine crosslinks host hepatocyte DNA and prevents proliferation after partial hepatectomy (PH), allowing selective expansion of transplanted progenitors. Shortcomings are length of protocol and carcinogenicity of retrorsine. This report describes a rapid liver repopulation protocol using mitomycin C

ADEQUATE experiments provide an alternative to the more commonly employed GHMBC experiment for the establishment of long-range heteronuclear connectivities. The 1,1-ADEQUATE experiment allows the unequivocal identification of both protonated and non-protonated carbon resonances adjacent to a protonated carbon. The 1,n-ADEQUATE
