Monocrotaline (MCT) is a naturally occurring alkaloid predominantly found in the Crotalaria genus. Known for its potent biological activities, MCT offers various pharmacological benefits including anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Nonetheless, its potential toxicity poses serious health risks, including severe liver and lung disorders in humans and animals. Precise MCT analysis is essential, not only for unraveling its biological mechanisms but also for advancing pharmaceutical development, ensuring food safety, and enforcing environmental protections.

MtoZ Biolabs utilizes liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for metabolomic analysis of monocrotaline. This technique combines the high separation efficiency of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with the high sensitivity of mass spectrometry (MS), allowing for the precise detection and quantification of trace components in complex samples. Our services extend beyond identification and quantification to include in-depth studies on the structure-activity relationships, metabolic pathways, and biological activity of alkaloids, providing comprehensive data support.
