Abstract
Highly toxic livers of the pufferfish Takifugu pardalis were extracted with acidic ethanol. The toxins extracted were partially purified by chromatography on Bio-Gel P-2 and then Bio-Rex 70, resulting in separation into three fractions I, II and III. ratios of total mouse units per fraction were approximately 0.1:100:0.01, respectively, with tetrodotoxin (TTX) as standard. By TLC, electrophoresis and a TTX analyzer, Fr. II was identified as TTX and, unexpectedly, Fr. III as saxitoxin, while Fr. I remains unidentified.Entities:
