Hymenoxon (C15H22O5) was isolated from Hymenoxys odorata DC. in 0.5% yield. The structure of hymenoxon is shown to be 1. The intraperitoneal LD50 of hymenoxon in sheep is about 7 mg/kg.
Antidotal effects of the 2 antioxidants butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and ethoxyquin (EQ) were evaluated in bitterweed (Hymenoxys odorata DC) toxicosis in sheep. Bitteerweed contains a toxic sesquiterpene lactone, hymenoxon, the toxicity of which is reduced by cysteine. Both BHA and EQ are known to
Hymenoxon, a toxic sesquiterpene lactone found in the ruminant forage plant Hymenoxys odorata, binds deoxyguanosine in a cell-free system, and forms adducted guanine residues in sheep lymphocyte DNA. Mitogen-stimulated DNA synthesis in lymphocytes was inhibited by hymenoxon at concentrations greater
Young, male mice (25 to 30 g) were given oral doses of hymenoxon, a sesquiterpene lactone, for 5, 10, or 20 days. Hymenoxon, isolated from Hymenoxys odorata DC, was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and water (1:1, v/v) and was administered daily at a dosage level of 100 mg/kg of body weight
Hymenoxon and helenalin are toxic sesquiterpene lactones present in the toxic range plants Hymenoxys odorata and Helenium microcephalum. Helenalin (25 mg/kg) or hymenoxon (30 mg/kg) administered to immature male ICR mice caused a rapid decrease in hepatic glutathione levels and were lethally toxic
To examine the effects on bitterweed toxicity of dietary factors known to increase thiol concentrations in the body, 36 lambs were fed one of the following diets (12 lambs/diet) for a minimum of 9 days prior to bitterweed administration: diet 1, 10% crude protein; diet 2, 20% crude protein, 0.5%
Two experiments were designed to establish a chronic bitterweed dose in sheep and to study the prevention of chronic bitterweed poisoning with dietary supplements of high protein (20% crude protein) and sodium sulfate. The first experiment consisted of 5 lambs in each of 3 groups. The low dose
