Isolation and redefinition of the toxic agent from cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium)

Abstract: Isolation and Redefinition of the Toxic Agent from Cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium)The highly toxic agent responsible for the poisonous properties of cocklebur, a common weed, has been isolated and identified as carboxyatractyloside. The toxin was identified by spectroscopic and chemical comparisons with authentic carboxyatractyloside.Cocklebur plants, Xanthium spp., are widely distributed in the United States and are found in nearly all parts of the world. The plants have become especially noxious in South Afr… Show more

“…In the present study, the major component of the essential oil was found to be β-caryophyllene (17.53%), which did not agree with the previous results in which β-guaiene [27,28] and limonene [29][30][31] were reported to be the major components. It is interesting to note that β-guaiene, which had been reported as major constituent of leaves oil [27,28] was found to be absent in this study.…”

“…The results showed that the consumption of the fruits (burrs) induced hepatic necrosis, as well as myocardial injury in humans. The toxic substance of X. strumarium was isolated and identified as carboxyatractyloside (CAT) (Cole et al, 1980), a highly selective inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation (Scott et al, 1993). The presence of CAT in the adult leaves, cotyledonary stages, seeds (inside the burr), and the shell of the burr was investigated via ESI-MS/ MS, and the CAT was found in the extracts from the seed and plants in the cotyledonary stage, but not in the adult leaves or shell of burr, so the medicinal use of X. strumarium should be restricted to the adult leaves .…”

“…O achado histopatológico mais significativo é a lesão hepática tóxica clássica de necrose coagulativa centrolobular acompanhada de congestão e hemorragias (Martin et al 1986). O princípio ativo de Xanthium spp é o glicosideo carboxiatractilosídeo (CAT) (Cole et al 1980, Stuart et al 1981, Calanasan et al 1985.…”
