  • Title: Toxins in the seedlings of some varieties of grass pea (Lathyrus sativus).
    Author: Lambein F, Khan JK, Kuo YH, Campbell CG, Briggs CJ.
    Journal: Nat Toxins; 1993; 1(4):246-9. PubMed ID: 8167942.
    Abstract:
    The major toxin present in the dry seeds and seedlings of Lathyrus sativus is the neurotoxin 3-N-oxalyl-L-2,3-diaminopropanoic acid (beta-ODAP). The presence of one additional neurotoxin and an osteotoxin in the seedlings increases the overall toxicity. Isolation, purification, and detection of these toxins are described.
