Dinogunellin


Dinogunellin is a toxic phospholipid of some fish (Ichthyotoxin).

Dinogunellin was detected in the mature eggs of some fish, e.g. in cabezon (Scorpaenichthys marmoratus) or northern blenny (Stichaeus grigorjewi) roe. It is also the found in the bood of eel.

Dinogunellin causes hemolysis and local mucosal irritation. When consumed, Ichthyotoxins cause vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, a rapid and irregular pulse, cyanosis, fever, and dizziness.

As countermeasures after consumption of ichthyotoxic poisons an immediate gastric emptying and giving of activated charcoal comes into question.

There is no specific antidote, therefore above mentioned symptoms of poisoning are treated symptomatically.

After a few days, poisoning victims usually recover again.
