An Overview: The Toxicity of <i>Ageratina adenophora</i> on Animals and Its Possible Interventions
<i>Ageratina adenophora</i> is one of the major invasive weeds that causes instability of the ecosystem. Research has reported that <i>A. adenophora</i> produces allelochemicals that inhibit the growth and development of food crops, and also contain some toxic compounds that...

<i>Ageratina adenophora</i> is one of the major invasive weeds that causes instability of the ecosystem. Research has reported that <i>A. adenophora</i> produces allelochemicals that inhibit the growth and development of food crops, and also contain some toxic compounds that cause toxicity to animals that consume it. Over the past decades, studies on the identification of major toxic compounds of <i>A. adenophora</i> and their toxic molecular mechanisms have been reported. In addition, weed control interventions, such as herbicides application, was employed to reduce the spread of <i>A. adenophora</i>. However, the development of therapeutic and prophylactic measures to treat the various <i>A. adenophora</i>—induced toxicities, such as hepatotoxicity, splenotoxicity and other related disorders, have not been established to date. The main toxic pathogenesis of <i>A. adenophora</i> is oxidative stress and inflammation.
