Ecballium elaterium (squirting cucumber) contains toxic cucurbitacins, which are violent purgatives. It is used in the Mediterranean as a purgative and in treating sinusitis. [Pg.1020]

A report from a poisons unit in Israel included 13 patients who had used the juice of the squirting cucumber, either orally or topically, for unreported reasons (6). They subsequently had edema of the pharynx, dyspnea, drooling, dysphagia, vomiting, and conjunctivitis. With symptomatic treatment they recovered within a few days. [Pg.1020]

Podophyllotoxin (5./7), from Podophyllum peltatum, the tropical squirting cucumber , strongly inhibits the polymerization of tubulin and is used in dermatology to destroy warts and other skin neoplasms. Deoxy-podophyllo-toxin, from the berries of the juniper tree, has anti-viral activity. Etoposide, a semi-synthetic derivative of podophyllotoxin, is used clinically for the treatment of otherwise fatal tumours. Chemically it is demethyl-1-0-(4,6-0-ethylidene-)8-D-glucopyranosyl)epipodophyllotoxin. It does not seem to prevent the synthesis of microtubules, but a decrease in DNA synthesis is noted (Loike, 1984). [Pg.201]
