[Elimination of meproscillarin by hemoperfusion (author's transl)]

Starting from toxic concentrations of the new scilla glycoside 14-hydroxy-3beta-[(4-O-methyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-oxy]-14beta-bufa-4,20,22-trienolide (meproscillarin, Clift) 5 in vitro hemoperfusions with the hemoperfusion system Haemocol are described. The test showed that meproscillarin may be rapidly eliminated from the blood by adsorption to activated charcoal (hemoperfusion). The text provides basic information for possible intoxications.
