Cyclopamine, and its glycoside alkaloid X, along with jervine and veratrosine, induced
cyclopian malformations in offspring born to ewes ingesting these compounds on the
fourteenth day of gestation. Other steroidal alkaloids with somewhat similar structures and
various other steroidal compounds including certain hormones and steroidal sapogenins did
not induce the malformation.
