Amanita muscaria and Amanita pantherina poisoning: Two syndromes

Toxicon, 2014
Amanita muscaria contains more excitatory ibotenic acid and less depressant muscimol compared to Amanita pantherina. In this study A. muscaria poisoned patients were more often confused (26/32, p = 0.01) and agitated (20/32, p = 0.03) compared to those poisoned with A. pantherina (8/17 and 5/17). Patients poisoned with A.

Occurrence of Amanita Toxins in American Collections of Deadly Amanitas

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1966
Chromatographic examination of Amanita phalloides carpophores collected in the Pacific Northwest revealed the presence of relatively large amounts (1.5–1.9 mg./ Gm. dry wt.) of β -amanitin but lesser concentrations (trace to 0.93 mg./Gm.) of α -amanitin. It was concluded that these represent a distinct chemical race of A.

Constituents of Amanita muscaria

Nature, 1965
THE fungus Amanita muscaria has been the object of intensive investigations for many years, and two of its constituents, muscarine and acetylcholine, are of fundamental importance in pharmacology. The elucidation of the structure of muscarine in the classical researches of Kogl et al.1–3 and Eugster4 and Waser5 has overshadowed the existence in the ...

Type studies of Amanita morenoi and Amanita pseudospreta and a reinterpretation of crassospores in Amanita

Mycologia, 1997
Amanita morenoi and A. pseudospreta were originally described from collections made in Neu- qu6n Province, Argentina. A study of the holotype of A. morenoi demonstrated that its spores are appar- ently exclusively crassospores produced on crassobas- idia. In the holotype of A. pseudospreta, the majority of spores examined were crassospores.

Investigation of the Free Amino Acids and Amanita Toxins in Amanita Species

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1961
Abstract Chromatographic determination of the free amino acid content of numerous collections of several species of the genus Amanita and the closely related genus Vaginata revealed the presence of several amino acids that were common to all species. Differences in amino acid patterns were due to the presence or absence of proline, phenylalanine,

Haemoperfusion in Amanita phalloides Poisoning

Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 1995
Amanita phalloides is responsible for about 90 per cent of all fatal cases of mushroom intoxication. The amatoxins, the main toxic component of these fungi, are responsible for gastro-intestinal symptoms as well as hepatic and renal failure. Three brothers with Amanita phalloides poisoning were admitted with gastro-intestinal symptoms beginning 12 h ...
