title: Studies of the teratogenicity of xanthomegnin and viridicatumtoxin in ICR mice.
abstract: The myotoxins xanthomegnin and viridicatumtoxin were not teratogenic when administered orally to pregnant ICR mice during the 8-12th and 8-13th days of gestation, respectively. Viridicatumtoxin produced high mortality in mice given 200, 250 or 350 mg/kg of body weight.
