Abstract

A tandem mass spectrometric procedure was developed to detect sesbanimide A and its isomers in plant materials. Analysis of seed extracts from 10 Sesbania species using this procedure readily detected sesbanimides in Drummond rattlebush, rattlebush, and bagpod sesbania. The toxic sesbanimides were not detected in hemp sesbania or in other species with no known history of animal toxicity.
