AbstractA crude toxin, obtained by methanol‐extraction of a water extract of false smut balls (INA‐KOUJI in Japanese) caused by Ustilaginoidea virens on rice panicles, was injected into mice intraperitoneally. Single injection of 100 or 200 mg/kg body weight of the extract was not lethal but caused acute, occasional necrosis of hepatocytes and renal tubular cells, followed by increased number of mitotic figures with occasional multinucleargiant cells. Erosions and ulceration of the forestomach and atrophy of the thymus were observed a week later. Repeated intraperitoneal injection of the crude toxin at the levels of 12 and 25 mg/kg body weight induced more severe necrosis of the liver and kidneys, with delayed occurrence of mitosis. Forestomach erosion also occurred. Serial injection for 10–12 days of either 3 or 6 mg/kg of the crude extract or 400 μg/kg of ustiloxin A, using the purified crystals, caused relatively mild but definite liver and kidney lesions similar to those described above. The lesions in the liver and kidney were quite similar to those observed in lupinosis caused by phomopsin A, a mycotoxin produced by Phomopsis leptostromiformis. Isolation of the toxic substance indicates that the contaminated rice panicles may cause toxicosis of cattle, although no field outbreaks have occurred yet. © 1994 wiley‐Liss, Inc.
