7 glucoside/vomiting

Uzarigenin-glucoside-canaroside (UGC) is a steroid glycoside isolated from the leaves of ISOPLEXIS CHALCANTHA whose pharmacological properties have not been so far studied. In this paper the effect of UGC on isolated auricle of rabbits, urinary excretion of rats, isolated jejunum of rabbits, (86)Rb

The mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) elicits robust anorectic and emetic effects in several animal species. However, less is known about the potential for naturally occurring and synthetic congeners of this trichothecene to cause analogous responses. Here we tested the hypothesis that alterations in

Deoxynivalenol (DON), the most commonly occurring trichothecene in nature, may affect animal and human health through causing diarrhea, vomiting, gastrointestinal inflammation, and immunomodulation. DON-3-glucoside (DON-3G) as a major plant metabolite of the mycotoxin is another "emerging" food

A clinical trial of the oral form of VP 16-213 (NSC-141540), a semisynthetic podophyllotoxin, was undertaken. In 20 patients, treatment was started at 200 mg/day p.o. for 5 days; courses were repeated after a rest period of 16 days. Five patients were treated at the same dose, repeated with only

Two novel compounds, 8-C-D-glucopyranosyl-7-hydroxy-5-methylchromone-2-carboxylic acid and a 2-O'-p-coumaroyl derivative thereof, were identified in a herbal tea that caused severe vomiting in a South African patient who had taken the traditional remedy to clean his stomach. For structural

Fifty-one patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were treated, during a phase II trial, with 4'demethylepipodophyllotoxin-beta-D-ethylidene glucoside (VP16-213). Forty-nine were evaluable for response, and of these two (4%) had partial responses lasting 5 and 6 months. Prior treatment with

Khellin and khelloside (khellol glucoside) were examined in female cynomolgus monkeys to substantiate their ability to favorably modify serum lipoprotein cholesterol. Clinical chemistry parameters were also measured to obtain information indicative of possible drug toxicity. Both drugs were

Overconsumption of Ginkgo biloba seeds induces food poisoning characterized by tonic-clonic convulsions and vomiting. The primary toxic component, 4'-O-methylpyridoxine (MPN), was purified from the seeds in 1985. This review includes the following aspects of ginkgo seed poisoning: 1) toxicity

Atractylis gummifera L. (Asteraceae) is a thistle located in the Mediterranean regions. Despite the plant's well-known toxicity, its ingestion continues to be a common cause of poisoning. The toxicity of Atractylis gummifera resides in atractyloside and carboxyatractyloside, two diterpenoid
