Heliotridine ((+)-Heliotridine) is a monoesters-type necine base of pyrrolizidine alkaloid with genotoxic and antibacterial properties. Heliotridine can be isolated from the aerial parts of Heliotropium ellipticum, Heliotropium circinatum and other Heliotropium species (Boraginaceae). Heliotridine shows high tolerance in normal human hepatocytes (EC50 > 400 μM). Mediated by the organic cation transporter OCT1, Heliotridine exhibits in vitro growth inhibition and weak antibacterial activity against Drechslera tetramera. Heliotridine can be used in infection-related studies of specific pathogenic bacteria.
