"The effect of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicutoxin|cicutoxin]], the poisonous principle of the genus Cicuta, on K+currents of activated T lymphocytes was investigated using the patch clamp technique. Cicutoxin produced a dose-dependent [5 × 10− 6–7 × 10−5mol/l] and completely reversible block of K+currents with an EC50 of 1.8 × 10−5mol/l. A maximum block of 71% was achieved with cicutoxin at a concentration of 7 × 10−5mol/l. Since previous studies have shown that T lymphocyte proliferation is associated with K+currents, the effect of cicutoxin on T lymphocyte proliferation was studied by means of 3H-thymidine uptake assays. At noncytotoxic concentrations [10−7−5 × 10−5mol/l] cicutoxin reduced the3H-thymidine incorporation dose-dependently. In conclusion, cicutoxin is a potent K+current blocker which inhibits K+channel-dependent proliferation of naive and memory T lymphocytes." \\ | "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicutoxin|Cicutoxin]] is the most poisonous and most important component of polyynes of water hemlock (Cicuta virosa). It is found in all plant parts (highest content: rhizome up to 0.2%). Related compounds in water hemlock are isocicutoxin (Z-isomer of cicutoxin), with about 25%, and virol A and B, each with about 3% share of the total polyyne content."
