Usage

General Description

Ptaquiloside is a toxic compound found in bracken ferns (Pteridium aquilinum) and is classified as a potent carcinogen for both animals and humans. It is a glycoside that can be found in various parts of the fern, including the fronds, rhizomes, and roots. Ptaquiloside is known to cause severe health issues such as gastric and esophageal cancer, and it has been implicated in causing liver damage and bone marrow toxicity. The compound can enter the food chain when animals consume bracken fern, leading to potential contamination of milk and meat products. Due to its health risks, there is a growing concern over the presence of ptaquiloside in agricultural areas where bracken fern can be found, and efforts are being made to develop methods for its detection and control.
