Indospicine（Cat No.:M086822） is a naturally occurring, non-protein amino acid found in certain plants, notably Indigofera species, which are native to Australia. It is toxic to many animals, including dogs, cattle, and sheep, posing serious risks when ingested as part of their diet. The toxicity primarily affects the liver, causing severe liver damage and potentially death. Indospicine also inhibits the metabolism of arginine, an essential amino acid, leading to further health complications. Research into indicine is important for managing grazing and preventing poisoning in livestock and wildlife exposed to Indigofera plants.
