The LD50's in mice of citrinin, ochratoxin A, and penicillic acid injected intraperitoneally were 89, 22, and 100 mg per kg of body weight, respectively. Paired combinations of the mycotoxins, citrinin:ochratoxin A (CI:OA), ochratoxin A:penicillic acid (OA:PA), and penicillic acid:citrinin (PA:CI) elicited synergistic lethal responses. After administration of citrinin, 14C orotic acid incorporation into both liver and kidney increased significantly by 27 hr with a return to control levels at 51 hr. Treatment with penicillic acid also increased orotic acid incorporation into liver ribonucleic acid (RNA) at 27 hr and at 4 hr in the kidney. Ochratoxin A inhibited orotic acid incorporation into both liver and kidney RNA 6 hr after toxin injection with a subsequent return to control levels at 27 hr. Orotic acid incorporation was inhibited in both kidney and liver 6 hr after treatment with the toxin combination CI:OA. PA:CI stimulated precursor incorporation into kidney RNA at 27 hr and inhibited the function in liver. The OA:PA combination inhibited orotic acid incorporation in both organs 15-27 hr after toxin treatment.
