Abstract

A total of 24 specimens of the pufferfish, Fugu xanthopterus, purchased at a fixhmarket in Pusan, korea were examined for toxicity using the assay method of tetrodotoxin (TTX). Also, the toxins isolated from the puffer liver were partially purified and analyzed for their chemical composition by instrumental behaviors. On the whole, when the level of toxicity in each organ was analyzed compared to that of liver, they were 100 % of the lover, 92 % for the intestine, 75% for the skin, 17% for the muscle, 785 for the testis, 87% for the ovary, and 71% for bile. The highest and average scores of toxicity for the liver were 917 and $231{\pm}51MU/g$ liver, respectively. The toxins of the puffer gave four peaks in HPLC whose retention times (10, 20, 22 and 25 min) were close to those of TDA, TTX, 4-epi-TTX, and and -TTX, respectively.

부산 공동어시장에서 구입된 까치복어, Fugu xanthopterus의 조직부위별 독력을 mouse bioassay법에 의하여 비교 검사하였다. 또한 bio gel P-2 column chromatography으로 복어독을 부분 정제하여, 박층 chromatography, 전기영동, GC-MS 및 HPLC에 의하여 독의 조성을 분석하였다. 즉, 까치복의 개체당 전체 독력은 1,099~167,694 M로서 개체에 따라 뚜렷한 독력 차이가 있었다. 간, 난소 그리고 내장의 평균독력은 각각 $231.0{\pm}51.0,\;175.0{\pm}38.0\;및\;78.8{\pm}16.8MU/g(평균값{\pm}표준오차)$으로 나타난 반면에 근육과 껍질조직의 평균독력은 각각 $3.3{\pm}1.4와\;19.3{\pm}4.3MU/g$으로 개체에 따라 약독 내지 무독인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 각부위별 최고독력의 순서는 간(917MU/g), 난소(459MU/g), 내장(312MU/g), 담즙(101MU/g), 껍질(79MU/g), 정소(72MU/g), 그리고 근육조직 (27MU/g)의 순이었다. 한편, TLC, 전기영동, HPLC로 분석한 결과 복어 개체에 따라 독의 조성이 다름을 알 수 있었고, TTX를 알칼리분해 시켜 생성된 ${C_9}-base$를 TMS화 시켜 GC-MS에 주입시킨 결과 ${C_9}-base$ TMS 유도체의 특성인 406(molecular ion peak), 392(base), 380 및 376 m/z에서 fragment ions에 의해 TTX의 peak는 동일한 mass spectra로 나타났다. 따라서, 이들의 독성에 관한 구체적인 연구자료는 최근들어 수입 복어류의 증가, 양식어업의 발달, 식생활의 다양화 등에 따른 수산 식품의 위생적 안정성을 확보하는데 절실히 필요한 것이라 생각된다.
