Sambutoxin, a newly purified mycotoxin in Koea, caused hemorrhage in the stomach and intestine of rats. To elucidate the mechanism of hemorrhage, effects of sambutoxin on rabbit platelet aggregation were investigated. First of all, the effects of sambutoxin on the platelet aggregation response and ATP release from platelet by various appregating factors were investigated. And then the role of $Ca^{2+}$ on the platelet aggregation was investigated by flow cytometer. Finally, morphological effect of sambutoxin on platelet ultrastructure was examined by transmission electron microscope. Sambutoxin inhibited aggregation induced by ADP, collagen, thrombin, and arachidonic acid and decreased platelet activating factor-induced disaggregation time in a dose dependent manner. Sambutoxin also decreased thrombin and arachidonic acid-induced ATP release, but increased all factors induced $Ca^{2+}$ release. Sambutoxin showed severe ultrastructural changes of platelet such as appearance of disorganization debri of cellular organelle in intercellular space. Our results indicate that sambutoxin inhibitis rabbit platelet aggregation, and it may be party due to the decrease of ATP release. However, it is not clear whether the antiaggregating effect of sambutoxin is related to $Ca^{2+}$ increase.

In vitro cytotoxicity of sambutoxin was measured by using various human and murine tumor cells and $IC_{50}$ values of sambutoxin ranged from 46.2 to 1,425.6 ng/ml.

Three tricyclic pyridone alkaloids, (-)-4,6'-anhydrooxysporidinone (1), (-)-6-deoxyoxysporidinoCne (2), and (-)-sambutoxin (3) were isolated from cultures of Fusarium lateritium SSF2 derived from the fruits of Cornus officinalis. Chemical structures of the isolated compounds were determined by spectroscopic method and comparisons with reported data values. The compounds 1-3 were isolated for the first time from this fungal strain.
