Levodopa – an exotoxin or a therapeutic drug?
Journal of Neurology, 2000Auto-oxidation of levodopa generates toxic metabolites, such as free radicals, semiquinones and quinones. In vitro, levodopa is a powerful toxin that is lethal to cultures of neurones. This raises the concern that levodopa may also be toxic in vivo, and that chronic treatment with levodopa could induce further damage to nigrostriatal neurones in ...

Kawasaki Disease and Staphylococcal Exotoxins
Archives of Dermatology, 1980To the Editor.— In their recent report of a possible case of Kawasaki disease, Schlossberg et al 1 discuss the possibility that a staphylococcal exotoxin, found in the patient's vaginal discharge, may have been responsible for her symptoms. The pyrogenic exotoxin that they isolated, however, lacked exfoliative activity in the rabbit and mouse.
