Sweet Pea
Lathyrus odoratus
Sweet Pea (Lathyrus odoratus) is a fragrant climbing flowering plant toxic to cats. It contains aminopropionitrile and related beta-aminopropionitrile compounds (lathyrogens) that cause a condition called lathyrism — affecting the nervous system and connective tissue. The seeds contain the highest concentration of these compounds.
重要提醒
Toxic compounds: aminopropionitrile (BAPN) and lathyrogen compounds; seeds most concentrated; stems and leaves also toxic
Mechanism: lathyrogens inhibit lysyl oxidase, an enzyme critical for collagen and elastin cross-linking; also cause direct nervous system toxicity (neurological lathyrism)
Symptoms: weakness, loss of coordination, paralysis, respiratory difficulty; also vomiting and lethargy
Sweet Pea is an ornamental plant — not related to edible garden peas (Pisum sativum)
Seek veterinary care if ingestion is suspected, especially if seeds were consumed
