Abstract
Survival of mice after lethal doses of a lyophilizate fromAmanita phalloides (‘death cap’) was markedly increased by pretreatment with single doses of kutkin, a mixture of iridoid glycosides picroside I and kutkoside isolated from the roots ofPicrorhiza kurroa. The protective effect of kutkin was comparable to that of silibinin. The curative efficacy of kutkin appeared to be slightly superior.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
