The pith of the sago palm, Cycas circinalis, is used as food in India after preparation to remove toxic alkaloidal constituents that occur in this genus and in the Zamiaceae.

The seeds of Cycas circinalis (false sago palm, queen sago) contain the non-protein amino acid beta-iV-methylamino-L-alanine, which is similar to the nenrotoxic amino acid beta-...

The effect of dextrin on lower organisms has also been studied. Thus, Penaeus monodon Fabricus juveniles fed with such carbohydrates as dextrin, maltose, sucrose, molasses, cassava starch, com starch, or sago-palm starch showed the highest mortality with maltose and molasses. The highest sur-...

Certain individuals on Guam and other South Sea Islands exhibit an increased incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), parkinsonism and dementia. The absence of inheritable or transmissible factors in this syndrome led to a search for environmental causes and the identification of the false sago palm Cycas circinalis) as a likely source of the causative agent. This plant contains a number of potential neurotoxins including -N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA), an agent with weak excitotoxic properties (Spencer et al., 1990). 

The suitability of a host may be influenced by the host s food choice. Smith (1941) found that Habrolepis rouxi developed on the California red scale, Aonidiella aurantii, when the scale was reared on sago palm, but did not develop when the scale was reared on citrus. Campbell and Duffey (1979) reported that a-tomatine, an alkaloid in tomato plants, was toxic to Hyposoter exiguae developing in hosts fed the alkoloid.

Fig. 9 shows some examples, the list of which might be expanded almost arbitrarily. The only limitation hes in the reactivity of the aryl cuprates, which means that pyridyl or thienyl residues cannot be introduced yet. On the other hand the flexibility of the bisepoxide method is demonstrated by the synthesis of 2,3-diamino-propionic acid (p-amino-alanine) which is a constituent of antibiotic cyclo-peptides like tuberactinomycin A or, in form of the N-methyl derivative L-BMAA, occurs in the seeds of the local sago palm and had notoriously caused the Guam disease [8], with a certain kind of Alzheimer and Parkinson symptoms, until the American conquest of the island in World War II led to a change in nutrition (Fig. 10).
