A Review Of The Anticoagulant Pesticide Pindone, Laurie E. Twigg, Tim J. Lowe, Gary R. Martin, Garry S. Gray Jan 1999

A Review Of The Anticoagulant Pesticide Pindone, Laurie E. Twigg, Tim J. Lowe, Gary R. Martin, Garry S. Gray

Books & book chapters

A review of the use of pindone for rabbit control in Western Australia is timely due to increased public concern over the use of this toxin, and because non-target deaths of some native Australian animals have been known to occur following its use. Pindone is one of the first generation indandione anticoagulant rodenticides which were developed in the late 1940' s. The toxicity of anticoagulants arises from their inhibition of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors in the blood. Thus therapeutic administration of vitamin K provides a reliable antidote against anticoagulant poisoning. Pindone is slow acting and works best with repeated small …

The Relationship Between Reactivity Of Metabolites Of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids And Extrahepatic Toxicity, R. A. Cooper, R. J. Huxtable Dec 1998

The Relationship Between Reactivity Of Metabolites Of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids And Extrahepatic Toxicity, R. A. Cooper, R. J. Huxtable

Roland A. Cooper

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are a large group of structurally similar toxins. In animals, including man, they are hepatotoxic and in some cases pneumo- and neurotoxic. PAs are metabolized by the liver P450 system to reactive dehydroalkaloid (DHA) intermediates. PA toxicity is a result of alkylation of macromolecules by DHAs. We have measured the relative reactivity of a series of semi-synthetic DHAs by recording the rate at which they alkylate a model nucleophile, 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine. Rate data fit mono- or biexponential equations. Rank order of reactivity for the macrocyclic and open ester DHAs was the same as those measured for DHA hydrolysis. …
