2024年9月6日 · Strychnine poisoning can cause extremely serious negative health effects, including death. Strychnine is a white, odorless, bitter crystalline powder. It can be taken by mouth, breathed in, or mixed in a solution and given intravenously (injected directly into a vein).

Poisoning with strychnine leaves is a rare form of strychnine poisoning, as the usual plant parts used are nuts, bark, and seeds. Although the common cardiac manifestations of strychnine positioning include tachycardia and hypertension, we report a patient with mild strychnine poisoning with bradycardia.

Strychnos nux-vomica, the strychnine tree, [2] also known as nux vomica, poison fruit, semen strychnos, and quaker buttons, is a deciduous tree native to India and to southeast Asia. It is a medium-sized tree in the family Loganiaceae that grows in open habitats. Its leaves are ovate and 5–9 centimetres (2–3.5 in) in size. [3]

2023年8月7日 · The toxin is an alkaloid found in the seeds of the Strychnos nux-vomica plant (See Figure 1), which is native to India, Northern Australia, and the East Indies. In Cambodia and Thailand, it is called “slang nut” or “slang Thai nut.”

2023年4月6日 · Strychnine, an alkaloid derived from seeds of the tree Strychnos nux vomica, was first used as a rodenticide in Germany in the early 16 th century. By the early 1900s, strychnine became widely available in cathartic pills, and caused a significant number of fatalities from suicidal and unintentional ingestions in the United States.

2011年10月1日 · The source of this potent toxin is the Strychnos nux-vomica plant, which actually contains two distinct alkaloids- strychnine and brucine. Although principally found in the seeds, these alkaloids can be isolated in varying concentrations from virtually all parts of the plant including the bark, leaves and roots [1] .

2013年1月15日 · A 22-year-old woman with bulimia ingested an overdose of nux vomica mother tincture as an emetic during a bulimic episode; she developed difficulty breathing and muscle spasms due to strychnine poisoning. The woman ingested a 200mL bottle of nux vomica tincture, corresponding to 212 mg of strychnine, or 3.5 mg/kg.

Nux Vomica is a species of tree native to Indonesia, known for its toxic properties. It produces seeds that are a chief commercial source of the alkaloid strychnine, historically used as a poison for killing rodents and small predators.

2023年3月3日 · Nux vomica contains strychnine and brucine, two toxic alkaloids banned or severely restricted in most countries. The toxicity of Nux vomica is manifested by neuromuscular hyperexcitability with agitation and muscular spasms followed by convulsions, rhabdomyolysis, metabolic acidosis and respiratory and cardiac arrest.
