Several deadly species of the genus Amanita produce colorless toxic octapeptides, the amani-tins.a b Two residues of glycine, one of L-isoleucine, one of the unusual L-dihydroxyisoleucine, one of L-asparagine, and one of L-hydroxyproline are present in a-amanitin. In the center a modified tryptophan residue has been combined oxidatively with an SH group of a cysteine residue. If the dihy-droxyisoleucine residue of a-amanitin is replaced with unhydroxylated leucine, the resulting compound, known as amanullin, is nontoxic. The LD50 for mice is 0.3 mg kg 1 and 50 g of fresh Amanita phalloides may be sufficient to kill a person. Arnan-itins act slowly, and it is impossible to kill mice in less than 15 h, no matter how high the dose.
