Terpenoids, a non-toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloid and two toxic diterpene glycosides, atractyloside and arboxyatractyloside, were isolated from Iphiona aucheri (Roeder et al., 1994, Wernery et al., 1997).
Though I. aucheri has been reported to possess low toxicity to animals (Ali et al., 2000c), yet it is responsible for poisoning racing camels in the United Arab Emirates (Roeder et al., 1994).
Nothing reported
Iphiona aucheri has low toxicity to animals (Ali et al., 2000c), significant linear correlation between antioxidant activity and total phenolic content for aqueous and methanolic extracts (Alali et al., 2007).
After oral administration of Iphiona aucheri, histological examination of liver tissue showed a diffuse microvascular and macrovascular fatty degeneration and diffuse centrilobular hemorrhagic liver cell necrosis (Wernery et al., 1997). Iphiona aucheri is responsible for poisoning racing camels (Camelus dromedarius) in the United Arab Emirates U. A. E. Atractyloside and carboxyatractyloside were identified as the toxic principle of the plant (Roeder et al., 1994).
