XXXI.—Crystallographical characters of aconitine from Aconitum napellus

Malignant ventricular arrhythmias due to Aconitum napellus seeds.

A28-year-old man was admitted to the Emergency Department for syncope after several hours of violent vomiting and diarrhea. A few minutes after arrival, he complained of palpitations followed by a sudden loss of consciousness. An ECG showed a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia degenerating into ventricular fibrillation (Figure 1). Because of recurrent major ventricular arrhythmias, resuscitati...

Effects of homoeopathic ultrahigh dilutions of Aconitum napellus on Baker's yeast-induced fever in rabbits.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of homoeopathic ultrahigh dilutions of Aconitum napellus in Baker's yeast-induced fever in rabbits. METHODS Rabbits were divided into 4 groups and each group contained 6 rabbits. Baker's yeast suspension (20%) was injected subcutaneously. After fever induction, paracetamol and homoeopathic ultrahigh dilutions (A. napellus 200c and 1 000c) were given orally. R...

Effects of Culture Temperature on Microtuber Formation of Aconitum Carmichaelii Debx. and Aconitine- Type Alkaloid Contents

SHIPING c., SHAN S.], TANAKA H. and SHOYAMA Y. Effects of culture temperature on microtuber formation of Aconitum carmichaelii Debx. and aconitine -type alkaloid contents BIOTRONICS 27, 15-20, 1998. The clonally propagated Aconitum carmichaelii Debx. was used for the investigation of microtubering. The rooting condition of propagated shoots affected the establishment of transplantation to soil ...

[Percutaneous absorption of aconitine and mesaconitine in extracts of Radix Aconitum kusnezoffii].

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to evaluate the percutaneous absorption of aconitine and mesaconitine in extracts of Radix Aconitum kusnezoffii. METHODS The extracts of Radix Aconitum kusnezoffii were collected by using Franz diffusion cells after permeation through the skin of rats. Then rate constants of skin permeation of aconitine and mesaconitine were determined by high-performance li...
