The Toxicological and Pharmacological Effects of Furan Analogs of Muscarine. Ochillo, R. F., Chaturvedi, A. K., and Sastry, B. V. R. (1978) Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol.43, 73–83. Furfuryltrimethylammonium iodide (Furmethide, FT), 5-methylfurmethide (5-MFT), 5-hydroxymethylfurmethide (5-HMFT), 5-chloromethylfurmethide (5-CMFT), 5-methoxyfurmethide (5-MOFT), tetrahydrofurmethide (THFT), and 5-methylthenyltrimethylammonium iodide (5-MTTA) are structurally related to muscarine. The toxicities of these compounds in mice decrease in the following order: 5-MTTA>5-MOFT>THFT>5-MFT>FT>5-HMFT >5-CMFT. The electron densities around the furan oxygen of these compounds decrease in the same order. The animals died within 5 min after administration of the lethal dose. These compounds did not significantly inhibit choline acetyltransferase and cholinesterase. Signs of toxicity in mice included excessive salivation, lacrimation, urination, and defecation. All peripheral parasympathetic signs were abolished by atropine, suggesting that these were mediated through the parasympathetic nervous system. However, atropine, hexamethonium, and d-tubocurarine did not alter the LD50. Death appeared to be due to respiratory depression and/or asphyxia. The animals survived indefinitely when they were maintained by artificial respiration during the initial 5 min after administration of lethal doses. The cause of death may possibly be due to bulk release of acetylcholine and blockade at multiple cholinergic synapses involved in the maintenance of respiration by released acetylcholine or furan analogs directly.
