title: Mice protection with 2,4-monofurfurylidene-tetra-O-methyl-sorbitol (MSF) against acute toxicity due to Amanita phalloides.
abstract: 2,4-Monofurfurylidene-tetra-O-methyl-sorbitol (MSF), which protects rats against a number of hepatotoxins, also reduces the death rate in mice receiving a crude Amanita phalloides powder (APP) by i.p. route, this protective effect being dose- and time-dependent. MSF-pretreatment greatly reduces APP-induced liver damage and blood serum GOT and GPT increase. MSF antagonizes APP more effectively than do mercaptopropionylglycine (MPG) and silymarin. The results are briefly discussed.
