In a case of suicide in a depressive 19-year-old man with considerable ingestion of new leaves, resorption of yew ingredients could be demonstrated. The main substance could be identified as 3,5-dimethoxyphenol, the aglycone of taxicatine, which is a typical ingredient of yew leaves. 3,5-dimethoxyphenol was demonstrated in harvested yew leaves, stomach content and cardiac blood of the victim. Structure confirmation was achieved by means of HPLC, UV, GC-MS, IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. None of the Taxus alkoids could be identified. The components detected by TLC have not yet been identified. The results demonstrate that 3,5-dimethoxyphenol can be used as a marker in cases of intoxication by yew ingredients.
在一名19岁患有抑郁症的男子自杀案例中,该男子大量摄入了新采摘的紫杉树叶,结果证实紫杉成分被吸收。主要物质可鉴定为3,5 - 二甲氧基苯酚,即紫杉亭的糖苷配基,它是紫杉树叶的典型成分。在受害者采摘的紫杉树叶、胃内容物和心脏血液中均检测到了3,5 - 二甲氧基苯酚。通过高效液相色谱法(HPLC)、紫外光谱法(UV)、气相色谱 - 质谱联用法(GC - MS)、红外光谱法(IR)和氢核磁共振光谱法(1H - NMR)对其结构进行了确认。未鉴定出任何紫杉生物碱。薄层色谱法(TLC)检测到的成分尚未得到鉴定。结果表明,3,5 - 二甲氧基苯酚可作为紫杉成分中毒案例的标志物。
