The sensitizing capacity of Alstroemeria cultivars in man and guinea pig. Remarks on the occurrence, quantity and irritant and sensitizing potency of their constituents tuliposide A and tulipalin A (alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactone).
Dermatitis in 8 female nursery workers handling Alstroemeria ligtu cultivars has been proven/proved in 6 cases to be of allergic origin. Epicutaneous tests with cut flower extracts as well as with the isolated and purified sensitizer were positive. Successful animal experiments corroborated the sensitising capacity of Alstroemeria cultivars. The responsible but unstable contact allergen, alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactone (tulipalin A), was found in short ether extracts of flower petals in concentrations up to 18%. Due to its instability, subsequent extractions were performed with methanol, y

Concern about the increasing incidence of hand dermatitis in floral shop workers in the United States and its possible association to the plant Alstroemeria, a flower that has become popular since its introduction in 1981, prompted investigation of the prevalence and cause of hand dermatitis in a sample of floral workers. Fifty-seven floral workers were surveyed, and 15 (26%) reported hand dermatitis within the previous 12 months. Sixteen floral workers (eight with dermatitis) volunteered to be patch tested to the North American Contact Dermatitis Group Standard and Perfume Trays, a series of

Alstroemerias are one of the most common plants that cause allergic contact dermatitis in floral workers. This colorful plant has gained great popularity among florists and their patrons. This concise review will help dermatologists to gain familiarity with this plant and show how to diagnose problems that it may cause.
PubMed: 10444112Quantification of α-methylene-λ-butyrolactone extracted from different parts ofAlstroemeria wilhelmina and evaluation of it's antigenicity using the guinea-pig maximization test.
To detect the type of contact dermatitis caused due to the handling ofAlstroemeria wilhelmina, 1% α-methylene-λ-butyrolactone (α-MBL) dissolved in physiological alien and a five-fold diluted saline solution of original extracts of flowers, leaves and stems of the flower were applied to guinea-pigs for extracts were applied to the animals as the challenge treatment in compliance with the guinea-pig maximization test (GMT). As a consequence, not only primary irritant dermatitis was observed, but also delayed type allergic contact dermatitis due toAlstroemeria wilhelmina was observed. α-MBL deter

La pregunta de investigación era identificar el agente responsable de la dermatitis de contacto en trabajadores de floristerías.
Seguridad y Precauciones
La seguridad en el manejo de Alstroemeria (Alstroemeria viridiflora) debe abordarse con cautela debido a la presencia de compuestos químicos altamente sensibilizantes. En primer lugar, respecto al embarazo y la lactancia, no existe evidencia científica directa que documente efectos teratogénicos o riesgos sistémicos por la exposición dérmica accidental; sin embargo, debido a la falta de estudios toxicológicos sobre el paso transdérmico de sus alérgenos al torrente sanguíneo, se recomienda evitar el contacto directo con los pétalos y el polen. En mujeres lactantes, la precaución es igualmente necesaria para evitar la transferencia de compuestos químicos a través de la piel hacia el lactante. En cuanto a niños menores de 12 años, el riesgo es significativamente mayor debido a que su barrera cutánea es más delgada y permeable, lo que facilita la absorción de alérgenos. Además, los niños tienen una mayor probabilidad de llevarse las manos a la boca tras manipular las flores, lo que podría provocar irritación de las mucosas. En términos de interacciones farmacológicas, aunque no se han reportado interacciones metabólicas directas con fármacos como la warfarina o la metformina, el riesgo principal es la dermatitis de contacto alérgica.
