“…The same pattern is reported in this study. At intermediate temperatures, mortality of N. littoralis was below 25%, which is also in line with mortality patterns reported for the other beetle species 42 , 45 . In the study of Dekeirsschieter at 23 °C, mortality of N. littoralis was surprisingly high.…”

“…The pattern of mortality across temperatures is consistent with the patterns revealed for other forensically important beetles. In T. micans , T sinuatus , D. tessellatocollis , C. maxillosus and N. rufipes the highest mortality was observed at extreme temperatures 35 , 39 , 42 , 45 , 46 . The same pattern is reported in this study.…”

Analysis of insects can provide evidence in death cases, for example, by answering the question about the time of death. Apart from flies, beetles are the second most useful insect group in forensic entomology. To elucidate the time of death based on insect evidence, developmental models of a given species are necessary. In this study, we developed such models for Necrodes littoralis, a necrophagous beetle, which is common in the Palearctic region and has great potential in forensic entomology. We monitored the development at 10 constant temperatures (14–30 °C). Larvae were reared in aggregations. Thermal summation models, isomorphen and isomegalen diagrams and growth curves were derived using the data. Depending on the temperature, development lasted between about 23 and 89 days. Mortality was high at the extremes of the temperature range. The thermal summation constant for the total development was 434.7 ± 28.86 accumulated degree-days above a developmental threshold of 9.04 ± 0.55 °C. This is the first comprehensive dataset on the development of N. littoralis. Implications for its use in forensic casework are discussed.

“…Over the years, several cases of yohimbine intoxication have been reported (Giampreti et al 2009 ; Anderson et al 2013 ; Gicquel et al 2016 ; Drevin et al 2020 ). The most recent case report on four individuals intoxicated with yohimbine described four individuals with severe intoxication symptoms leading to hospitalisation approximately 10 h after taking a drug powder containing yohimbine (Zhu et al 2021 ). Of the four individuals, three recovered after treatment and one died before arrival at the hospital.…”

CYP2D6 phenotype explains reported yohimbine concentrations in four severe acute intoxications

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The indole alkaloid yohimbine is an alpha-2 receptor antagonist used for its sympathomimetic effects. Several cases of yohimbine intoxication have been reported and the most recent one involved four individuals taking a yohimbine-containing drug powder. All individuals developed severe intoxication symptoms and were admitted to the hospital. Even though all individuals were assumed to have taken the same dose of the drug powder, toxicology analyses revealed yohimbine blood concentrations of 249–5631 ng/mL, amounting to a 22-fold difference. The reason for this high variability remained to be elucidated. We used recently reported knowledge on the metabolism of yohimbine together with state-of-the art nonlinear mixed-effects modelling and simulation and show that a patient’s cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) phenotype can explain the large differences observed in the measured concentration after intake of the same yohimbine dose. Our findings can be used both for the identification of safe doses in therapeutic use of yohimbine and for an explanation of individual cases of overdosing.
