Autoignition=Allopumiliotoxin 267A is a toxin found in the skin of several
poison frog s of the family "Dendrobates ". [Edwards MW, Daly JW, Myers CW. Alkaloids from a panamanian poison frog, Dendrobates speciosus: identification of pumiliotoxin-A and allopumiliotoxin class alkaloids, 3,5-disubstituted indolizidines, 5-substituted 8-methylindolizidines, and a 2-methyl-6-nonyl-4-hydroxypiperidine. "Journal of Natural Products". 1988 Nov-Dec;51(6):1188-97. PMID 3236011] The frogs produce the toxin by modifying the original version,pumiliotoxin 251D . [Daly JW, Garraffo HM, Spande TF, Clark VC, Ma J, Ziffer H, Cover JF Jr. Evidence for an enantioselective pumiliotoxin 7-hydroxylase in dendrobatid poison frogs of the genus Dendrobates. "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA". 2003 Sep 16;100(19):11092-7. PMID 12960405] It has been tested on mice and found to be five times more potent than the former version. It has been produced synthetically through a variety of different routes. [Comins DL, Huang S, McArdle CL, Ingalls CL.
