Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, the lower homolog of proline, has been isolated from Convallaria majalis (lily of the valley) 40,44), Polygonatum officinalis (Solomon s seal) 153), and Polygonatum multiflorum 45). Fowden and Steward 47) surveyed plants from 56 genera for nitrogenous compounds and found azetidine-2 -carboxylic acid to be restricted to members of the Liliaceae. In some species it was identified in leaf, stem, and root but was more commonly found in the seed. In Polygonatum, azetidine-2-carboxylic acid accounted for 75% or more of the total nonprotein nitrogen in the rhizome 45). There was no evidence that it occurred as a constituent of protein.

Animal studies have demonstrated that aromatic Solomon s seal may modify glucose regulation (Choi and Park 2002 Kato and Miura 1994 Miura and Kato 1995). People with diabetes are advised to monitor their blood sugar closely and discuss the use of this herb with a qualified healthcare practitioner prior to use. 

Overdose of aromatic Solomon s seal (standard dose listed as a decoction of 6-15 g) may cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea (Bensky et al. 2004). 

In 90% pancreatectomized rats orally administered 30 mg/kg of steroidal glycoside compounds from aromatic Solomon s seal daily for 13 weeks, no change in insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells was observed however, mice were found to have an increased insulin sensitivity (Choi and Park 2002). 

No estrogenic activity of an ethanol extract of aromatic Solomon s seal was observed in a recombinant yeast assay system with a human estrogen receptor expression plasmid and a reporter plasmid (Kim et al. 2008). 

The LDgo of an injectable preparation of aromatic Solomon s seal intraperitoneally administered in mice is 112.5 g/kg (Zhu 1998). 

In a sperm aberration test, sexually mature male mice were orally administered 2.5, 5, or 10 g/kg of an aqueous extract of aromatic Solomon s seal daily for 5 days. Examination of sperm 30 days after the final aromatic Solomon s seal dose indicated no significant difference in the rates of sperm aberration between the control group and the extract-treated groups (Chen et al. 2001). 

In rats orally administered 4 or 16 g/kg of an aqueous extract of aromatic Solomon s seal (equivalent to 12.9 and 51.6 g/kg crude material) daily for 6 months, softened feces were noted in the 16 g/kg group. No signs of toxicity, including changes in behavior, appearance, diet, hematology, blood biochemistry, and histopathology, were observed (Chen et al. 2001).
