- A
cardenolide is a type of steroid. Many
plants contain derivatives,
collectively known as
cardenolides,
including many in the form of
cardenolide glycosides...
-
cardenolides,
exuded where cells are damaged. Most
species are
toxic to
humans and many
other species,
primarily due to the
presence of
cardenolides....
-
level is
highly variable.
Unpalatability is
correlated with the
level of
cardenolides obtained via the
larval diet, but
other compounds like
alkaloids also...
-
specifically cardenolides,
which are
steroids that act in heart-arresting ways
similar to digitalis. It has been
found that
monarchs can
sequester cardenolides most...
- this genus. The
evolution of
novel chemical defenses in plants, such as
cardenolides in the
genus Erysimum, is
predicted to
allow escape from
herbivory by...
- of the
molecule allows it to be
classified as
either a
cardenolide or bufadienolide.
Cardenolides differ from
bufadienolides due to the
presence of an "enolide...
- moiety. Cerberin, with its five-membered ring,
belongs to the
cardenolide class;
cardenolides are 23-carbon
steroids with

positions 10 and...
- due to the fact that even
though cardenolides are
normally considered present in
Asclepias species,
these cardenolides have not been
found in A. tuberosa...
-
native to
North America. Due to the
concentration of
cardiac glycosides (
cardenolides), it is
highly poisonous if
consumed by
humans or
other animals. Other...
- many
larval food
sources lack
cardenolides, and some
adult West
African po****tions of D. chrysippus do not
store cardenolides well, yet
still repel predators...
