Heliotropium rotundifolium was shown to contain, in addition to the previously isolated europine [1], three other alkaloids: heliotrine [2], lasiocarpine [3], and a new alkaloid identified as 5'-acetyleuropine [4]. The alkaloids were isolated by dccc and the structures established by spectroscopic means (1H and 1H- 13CHETCOR nmr and ms), physical properties (melting points and/or optical rotations), comparison with authentic samples, or by semi-synthesis.

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are genotoxic carcinogenic phytotoxins mostly prevalent in the Boraginaceae, Asteraceae and Fabaceae families. species (Boraginaceae) are PA-producing weeds, widely distributed in the Mediterranean region, that have been implicated with lethal intoxications in livestock and humans. In Israel, , and are the most prevalent species.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Ethnobotanical studies have contributed significantly in research of plants with therapeutic potential. The aim of the present study was to learn about the use of native medicinal plants cited by the traditional population in "cerradão" (savanna woodland) areas in Northeast Brazil, providing data on therapeutic indications of the species used and their versatility.
Materials And Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted on the basis of a standardized questionnaire designed for key informants selected using the "snowball" technique.

Forty-one methanol extracts of 28 indigenous medicinal plant species were tested for their insecticidal bioactivity against cotton whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), adults and second nymphal instars under controlled conditions. This study is within a bioprospection context, in the form of utilizing local plant species as an alternative in sustainable agriculture development. Eighteen and nine plant extracts caused a significant decrease in number of live adult and nymphal whiteflies, respectively, compared to the control.
