Toxins in general are potent poisons. Nevertheless, the selectivity of action of some of these toxins means they have been harnessed in medical therapeutics (and even more widely in experimental pharmacology and physiology). Toxins that have been, or still are. us in medicine include atropine, botulinum toxin, cardiac glycosides, coichidne, eserine, hyoscine, picrotoxin, morphine, ouabain, strychnine, veratridine, vinca alkaloids and many more. All these work by an action at a defined molecular site, whether ion channel, neurotransmitter receptor, enzyme, pump or intracellular organelle. Those toxins that work at nonneuronal, or not specifically at neuronal sites (e.g. cholera toxin, pertussis toxin, cardiac glycosides, phospholipases) are discussed under TOXINS. [Pg.194]
