The LDso (mouse) is less than 50 pg/kg. C. acts as an NAD analogue. The corresponding nucleotide is also present in the fungus. 

C4H6N2O2, Mr 114.10, mp. 218°C, [a] -2.9° (HjO). First isolated as a neurotoxic non-proteinogenic amino acid from the seeds of fodder vetch (VJc/a saliva) which had been contaminated with meadow pea (Lathy rus sativus) (a plant causing lathyrism) during harvesting. It was later found in many other Vida spp. as well as in the poisonous toadstool Clitocybe acrome-lalga (Tricholomataceae)...
