OHNO, Y., CHIBA, S., UCHIGASAKI, S., UCHIMA, E., NAGAMORI, H., MIZUGAKI, M., OHYAMA, Y., KIMURA, K. and SUZUKI, Y. The Influence of Tetrodotoxin on the Toxic Effects of Aconitine in vivo. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 1992, 167 (2), 155158 Both aconite toxins (aconitine, mesaconitine, and hypaconitine) and a pufferfish toxin (tetrodotoxin, TTX) were detected in the blood of a legal autopsy case. In order to elucidate the in vivo influence of TTX on the toxic effects of aconitine, a mixture of aconitine and TTX was administered to male ICR mice orally or intraperitoneally. The animal experiments revealed that the time of death due to aconitine was significantly delayed in proportion to the dose of TTX compared with the case for aconitine alone, and that the mortality of aconitine was lowered by TTX when the dose ratio of the two toxins was in a particular range. Accordingly, it is thought that the toxic effects of aconitine are attenuated by TTX in vivo. legal autopsy ; aconitine ; tetrodotoxin ; poison interaction ; animal experiment

Antiarrhythmic action of tetrodotoxin in various animal species.

Effect of tetrodotoxin (TTX) on the aconitine-induced arrhythmias of the isolated cardiac tissues of the chicken embryo, the toad and the golden carp is studied by a microelectrode technique. TTX in a dose of 10-8-10-7 g/ml antagonized the aconitine-induced rapid firing in the chicken embryo ventricle, the toad atrium and the golden carp atrium. TTX was much more potent than lidocaine in exerti...

Purification of a toxic protein from scorpion venom which activates the action potential Na+ ionophore.

Venom of the scorpion Leiurus quinquestriatus acts cooperatively with the alkaloids veratridine, aconitine, and batrachotoxin in activating the action potential Na+ ionophore. A small (Mr = 6700), basic (pI approximately 9.8), toxic polypeptide purified approximately 80-fold from this venom by ion exchange chromatography appears homogeneous by gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing and, l...

Aconitine-induced modification of single sodium channels in neuroblastoma cell membrane.

Aconitine-modified sodium channels in the neuroblastoma cell membrane were investigated with patch-clamp technique in outside-out configuration. When aconitine (0.1 mmol/l) was present in the pipette solution two types of modified single sodium channels were observed. The first type showed openings with normal amplitude (slope conductance 15.5 pS) and bursting behaviour. The second type of modi...

Prolonged Oral Administration of Oleuropein Might Protect Heart against Aconitine-induced Arrhythmia

In this study, it was surveyed to know whether an oral single dose of oleuropein could mimic the cardiac preconditioning in rats’ hearts or whether its prolonged oral administration could protect the heart against the aconitine-induced arrhythmia in rats. Eighty male Wistar rats were divided into two series (n = 8 in each group). In the first series, all groups (except the control (Con) group) ...
