<prompt> The Toxin responsible for Lathyrism isBOAASanguinarinePyrazolidine alkaloidCalotoxin  <response>: A BOAA LATHYRISM or NEUROLATHYRISM is a neurological disease of humans and domestic animals, caused by eating certain legumes of the genus Lathyrus. This problem is mainly associated with Lathyrus sativus. The lathyrism resulting from the ingestion of Lathyrus odoratus seeds Sweet peas is often referred to as odoratism, which is caused by a different toxin Beta-amino-propionitrile and affects the linking of collagen, a protein of connective tissues. Symptoms The consumption of large quantities of Lathyrus grain containing high concentrates of the neurotoxin beta-oxalyl-L-aipha,beta- diaminopropionic acid or ODAP causes paralysis, characterized by lack of strength in or inability to move the lower limbs. Poison responsible in the peas is the glutamate analogue beta-N-oxalylamino-L-alanine acid BOAA, aka beta-N-oxalyl-diamino- propionic acid beta-ODAP.
