Water hemlocks (Cicuta spp.) are acutely toxic members of the Umbellierae family; the toxicity is due to the presence of C17-polyacetylenes such as cicutoxin. There is only limited evidence of noncompetitive antagonism by C17-polyacetylenes at GABAA receptors. In this work with WSS-1 cells, we documented the noncompetitive blockade of GABAA receptors by an aqueous extract of water hemlock (Cicuta douglasii) and modulated the actions of the extract with a pretreatment of 10 μM midazolam.
水毒芹(毒芹属)是伞形科剧毒植物;其毒性归因于C17 - 聚乙炔类物质的存在,如水毒芹毒素。关于C17 - 聚乙炔类物质在GABAA受体上的非竞争性拮抗作用,仅有有限的证据。在这项针对WSS - 1细胞的研究中,我们记录了水毒芹(道格拉斯毒芹)水提取物对GABAA受体的非竞争性阻断作用,并通过10 μM咪达唑仑预处理来调节该提取物的作用。
