TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - A fatal poisoning from Nicotiana glauca JO - Journal of toxicology - clinical toxicology A1 - Castorena, J. L. A1 - Garriott, James C. A1 - Barnhardt, F. E. A1 - Shaw, R. F. SP - 429 EP - 435 VL - 25 IS - 5 N2 - A young adult male was found dead in a field. No cause of death was apparent at autopsy, and the only positive toxicological finding was the presence of a nicotine-like alkaloid isolated from the liver. Anabasine, the major, highly toxic alkaloid of the shrub, Nicotiana glauca (tree tobacco) was subsequently identified in all body specimens examined using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Concentrations of anabasine in blood, urine and other body organs are reported.
