Anagyrine, is the responsible teratogen from teratogenic lupins, can produce congenital deformities in calves typical of crooked calf disease; it also can induce red cell aplasia, vascular anomaly, and skeletal dysplasia.(-)-Anagyrine and (-)--Methylcytisine have nematicidal activities against Pine Wood Nematodes.
Camaric acid shows antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin resistant S. aureus with IC50 values 8.74 and 8.09 uM, respectively, it also shows moderate antileishmanial activity and highly potent antitrypanosomal activity. Camar
