Grayanotoxin-contaminated honey exhibits toxicity. In this study, a reliable and sensitive liquid-chromatography-tandem-mass-spectrometric method (LC-MS/MS) was developed and validated for the quantitation of grayanotoxin I and grayanotoxin III in honey. The grayanotoxins were extracted from honey via solid phase extraction and separated on a biphenyl column with a mobile phase consisting of 0.5 % acetic acid in water and methanol. Mass spectrometric detection was performed in the multiple-reaction monitoring mode with positive electrospray ionization. The calibration curve covered the range 0.25 to 100 ㎍/g. The intra- and inter-day deviations were less than 10.6 %, and the accuracy was between 94.3 and 114.0 %. The validated method was successfully applied to the determination of grayanotoxins in mad honey from Nepal. The concentrations of grayanotoxin I and grayanotoxin III in 33 out of 60 mad honey samples were 0.75 - 64.86 ㎍/g and 0.25 - 63.99 ㎍/g, respectively. The method established herein would help in preventing and confirming grayanotoxin poisoning.

Grayanotoxin에 의한 중독은 대부분 보존적 치료만으로도 완전히 회복되는 경우가 많기 때문에 이를 감별하는 것이 중요하다. 저자들은 산에서 철쭉꽃을 10송이 넘게 섭취 후 의식저하를 주소로 응급실에 내원한 9세 남자 환자를 진단하고 치료하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

산철쭉 끝을 MeOH로 추출하고, 이를 EtOAc, n-BuOH과 $H_2O$로 분배 추출하였다. EtOAc추출물과 n-BuOH 추출물에 대하여 silica gel과 ODS column을 이용하여 chromatography하거나, 아세틸화 한 후 sillica gel column chromatography를 수행하여 2종의 triterfenoid와 3종의 diterpenoio를 분리하였다. 각 화합물은 $^1H-^lH\;COSY$, HMQC, HMBC와 같은 2D-NMR기법을 포함한 스펙트럼 데이터를 해석하여 $2{\alpha}\;3\{beta}-dihydroxylolean-12-ene (1), ursolic acid (2), grayanotoxin IV (3), grayanotoxin I (4) 및 grayanotoxin III (5) 등으로 동정하였다.

A 3 year-old black goat was presented to Animal and Plant Quarantine agency for diagnosis in June, 2017. She was intaken feed with Rhododendron schlippenbachii the day before death. The clinical signs included loss of appetite, lethargy, hypersalivation, astasia, yelling. At necropsy, foamy discharge were observed in the airway. Histologically, foreign body, eosinphil and macrophges was observed in alveolar lumen of lung. Grayanotoxin derived from Rhododendrons was detected in ruminal contents. Based on the pathological and toxine examination, we diagnosed this case as grayanotoxin poisoning in a black goat.

본 연구는 야생꿀을 비롯한 벌꿀, 벌집채꿀 등 국내산 및 수입산 꿀의 안전관리를 위한 grayanotoxin(GTX)의 시험분석법 확립 및 실태조사를 위하여 수행하였다. GTX 표준품 I, II, III는 LC-MS/MS로 분자량을 확인한 후, 시판품인 III를 제외한 I과 II는 NMR을 이용하여 구조를 확인하였다. 총 111건(국내산 벌꿀25건, 국내산 야생꿀 21건, 벌집채꿀 13건, 수입산 벌꿀 44건, 수입산 야생꿀 8건)의 벌꿀시료는 메탄올을 사용하여 벌꿀-메탄올 용액을 만들어 tC18 cartridge에 loading 한 후, 여과된 액을 동량의 증류수로 희석하여, 이온화장치로 ESI를 장착한 triplequadrupole LC-MS/MS를 이용하여 분석하였다. LC의 용리액은 1% 포름산이 첨가된 "메탄올-물"을 사용하는 것이 10분 이내의 분석시간대에 나타나는 피크의 모양과 감도가 우수한 경향을 나타내었다. 본 방법을 이용하여 검체 중의 GTX I, II, III의 함유량을 조사한 결과 총 111건 중 수입산 야생꿀 3건(2.7%)에서 GTX I, II, III가 검출되었고, 수입산 야생꿀 1건에서 GTX I, III가 검출되었다. GTX I의 검출량은 최소 $3.13{\pm}0.00mg/kg$에서 최고 $12.93{\pm}0.01mg/kg$으로 나타났고 GTX II는 $0.84{\pm}0.01mg/kg$, $0.92{\pm}0.00mg/kg$, $1.08{\pm}0.01mg/kg$의 함량을 나타내어 GTX I 에 비해 낮은 수치를 나타내었다. GTX III는 최소 $0.25{\pm}0.01mg/kg$에서 최고 $3.29{\pm}0.74mg/kg$으로 함량에 큰 차이를 보였다. 본 방법을 이용한 총 111건의 벌꿀 시료의 GTX분석시 수입산 야생꿀 4건에서만 GTX가 검출됨을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 비 휘발성 또는 극성 때문에 GTX 분석시 GC 및 GC-MS에서 분석이 어려운 벌꿀시료를 대상으로 전처리 시간의 단축을 모색함과 동시에 LC-MS/MS를 이용한 시험분석법을 개발할 수 있었고, 모니터링을 통하여 네팔, 터키 등 특정 지역의 야생꿀의 섭취를 제한하는 과학적 근거를 마련할 수 있었다.

Honey is produced by bees from nectar collected from nearby flowers. Sometimes, honey produced from the Rhododendron species is contaminated by Grayanotoxin (GTX) in Nepal and other countries. There have been reports of GTX intoxication, also known as 'mad honey disease', from honey produced in countries other than Korea. The importation of wild honey has been prohibited by the Korean Food and Drug Administration since 2005, yet it is still distributed within Korea by the occasional tourist. We report a case of GTX intoxication from contaminated honey which included the symptoms of nausea, vomiting, general weakness, dizziness, blurred vision, hypotension and sinus bradycardia. By means of infusion with normal saline and atropine sulfate, the patient's condition fully recovered within 8 hours of hospital admission, and she was discharged without any complications.

It is well known that Rhododendron sclippenbashii contains the toxic material grayanotoxin. So, Koreans do not eat it, but they do eat azalea although it contains grayanotoxin. That is why there have been no reports about Rhododendron sclippenbashii intoxication after ingesting it intentionally, not accidentally. In this case, the patient was admitted to the emergency room with several toxic symptoms after intentionally consuming 50 blossoms of Rhododendron sclippenbashii to get rid of thirst. Treatment with saline infusion and atropine was successful and the outcome was favorable enough in this case to produce a complete cure without any sequelae at discharge. But toxic symptoms were seen for 24 hours, although the symptoms usually fade in 9 hours. Therefore, we should carefully treat and observe, for over 24 hours, the patient who intentionally ingests about 50 blossoms of Rhododendron sclippenbashii.

Historically, the common folk have made use of various wild herbs for both food and medicinal purposes. However, the misuse of these wild herbs can lead to adverse consequences, including severe poisoning in some cases. In cases of poisoning from wild herbs, patients can exhibit a variety of symptoms depending on the herbs involved, which in addition to gastrointestinal symptoms may include hemodynamic alteration and abnormal neurologic signs. In the present case, two patients were admitted to the emergency room with symptoms of toxicity after consuming Rhododendron brachycarpum liquor. Rhododendron brachycarpum and other wild herbs contain the toxic material grayanotoxin. Because of its serious toxic symptoms, great caution must be exercised in using rhododendrons for food and medicinal purposes.
