Description

Viridicatumtoxin is a new mycotoxin extracted from Penicillium viridicatum with a LD₅₀ of 122.4 mg/kg in rats.

In Vivo

Viridicatumtoxin (60-400 mg/kg; i.p., p.o., s.c; ICR mice, Sprague-Dawley rats and mature Wistar rats (4/5 weeks; 16-20 g/140-150 g)) has no signs of toxicity with p.o. administration. As the dosage increasing (i.p. and p.o.), hepatocytes starts to have pathological changes and deaths occurrs in both mice and rats. Mice and rats which given the viridicatumtoxin by s.c. has no signs of toxicity and none die, but coagulation necrosis is present at the injection site^[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model:	ICR mice, Sprague-Dawley rats and mature Wistar rats (4/5 weeks; 16-20 g/140-150 g)^[2]
Dosage:	60-400 mg/kg
Administration:	i.p., p.o., s.c.
Result:	Orally with viridicatumtoxin had no signs of toxicity. As the dosage increasing (i.p. and p.o.), hepatocytes started to have pathological changes and deaths occurred in both mice and rats. Mice and rats which given the viridicatumtoxin by s.c. had no signs of toxicity and none died, but coagulation necrosis was present at the injection site.
