Indicine N-oxide (INO) is a pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) with antitumor activity in animals and humans. Prior studies showed that despite the known hepatic toxicity of the PAs, INO did not produce hepatic toxicity in animals but caused unpredictable lethal hepatic toxicity in humans. In this study we
Objective: To observe the histopathological manifestations of liver biopsy in patients with hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) induced by pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA). Methods: Patients diagnosed with PA-HSOS from 2012 to 2017 were selected, and the general conditions, liver
Veno-occlusive disease was diagnosed in an 18-month-old boy who had regularly consumed a herbal tea mixture since the 3rd month of life. The boy developed portal hypertension with severe ascites. Histology of the liver showed centrilobular sinusoidal congestion with perivenular bleeding and
Since 1984, a significant number of privately owned and feral horses on Easter Island have died of a syndrome consisting of progressive anorexia, weight loss, obtundation, and other central nervous system abnormalities. A single horse experiencing clinical signs of the reported syndrome was
The carcinogenic activity of petasitenine, a new pyrrolizidine alkaloid isolated from young flower stalk of Petasites japonicus, was studied in ACI rats. All rats that had received a 0.05% solution of petasitenine in drinking water died or were killed in moribund condition 72 days after the start of
The comparative effects of the antioxidants, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), ethoxyquin, and cysteine on pyrrolizidine-alkaloid-induced (PA-induced) lethality and acute hepatotoxicity were assessed in female mice. Diets containing 0.75% BHA, 0.25% ethoxyquin, or 1% cysteine were fed to mice for 10 d
We retrospectively identified 89 consecutive patients from January 2004 to January 2012 to investigate efficacy of direct intrahepatic portocaval shunt (DIPS) combined with inferior vena cava (IVC) stenting for sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) associated with hepatotoxicity of pyrrolizidine
Individuals are commonly exposed to bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) through gram-negative bacterial infection and from its translocation from the gastrointestinal lumen into the circulation. Inasmuch as noninjurious doses of LPS augment the hepatotoxicity of certain xenobiotic agents,
Three groups of young adult rats were fed pyrrolizidine alkaloids derived from Russian comfrey to study the effects of the herb on the liver. Group I animals received a single dose of 200 mg/kg body wt, Group II 100 mg/kg three times a week for 3 weeks and Group III 50 mg/kg three times a week for 3
We investigated the antiulcerogenic activity of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) integerrimine, retrorsine, senecionine, usaramine and seneciplhylline, an alkaloidal extract obtained from Senecio brasiliensis. The PA extract demonstrated significantly activity in both, acute and chronic gastric ulcers
There is a paucity of data on the occurrence of hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic pyrrolizidine alkaloids in medicinal plants, and there are no data on the hepatotoxic properties of herbal medicines that are used in the traditional pharmacopoiea of Sri Lanka and other Asian and African countries.
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids-induced hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome(PA-HSOS) has been reported to have high mortality. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of anticoagulation therapy for the patients with PA-HSOS.We collected clinical data on 249 Large outbreaks of acute food-related poisoning, characterized by hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, hemorrhagic necrosis, and rapid liver failure, occur on a regular basis in some countries. They are caused by 1,2-dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids contaminating locally grown grain. Similar acute
The main objectives of this study were to determine the 1,2-dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloid (DHPA) content in Senecio grisebachii Baker (Compositae), to experimentally demonstrate its toxicity in calves and to describe the main clinical and pathological findings of this toxicity. S. grisebachii plants
A 23 year old man presented with hepatic veno-occlusive disease and severe portal hypertension and subsequently died from liver failure. Light microscopy and hepatic angiography showed occlusion of sublobular veins and small venous radicles of the liver, associated with widespread haemorrhagic
