Rumor that mg seeds are the most potent

After extensively researching I've come to this conclusion.

The peak of LSH and tricolorin A is before fruit and seeds are formed.

Abstract

Tricolorin A, (11S)-11-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid 11-O-α-l- rhamnopyranosyl-(1→3)-O-α-l-{2-O-(2S-methylbutanoyl)-4-O-(2S-methylbutanoyl)}-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-fucopyranoside-(1,3′′-lactone), the major phytogrowth inhibitor isolated from Ipomoea tricolor Cav. (Convolvulaceae) was found to be a potent uncoupler (U50=0.33 μM) of photophosphorylation in spinach chloroplasts. Tricolorin A inhibited H+-uptake and adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, and stimulated basal and phosphorylating electron flows. Using a combination of two well-known fluorescent ΔpH probes, 9-aminoacridine and 9-amino-6-chloro-2-methoxyacridine, the uncoupling behavior of tricolorin A was also demonstrated for submitochondrial particles. Polarographic data showed that high concentrations (20 μM) of tricolorin A inhibited photosystem II (PSII) electron flow at the level of plastoquinone B (QB). Chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence analysis showed that tricolorin A induced accumulation of QA− and strongly decreased the electron transport capacity, suggesting that the target of this molecule was located at the QB level. The macrocyclic lactone-type structure of this allelopathic agent proved to be an important structural requirement for uncoupling activity since its hydrolysis caused loss of the inhibitory potential.

What are your thoughts on the value of tricolorin A in a human phytomedicinal context?
