(oral) toxicity

Due to some analogies between quisqualic acid and ibotenic acid, I wonder if quisqualic acid would be decarboxylated to quisqualamine during digestion if somebody ate it, as ibotenic acid (e.g. from fly agarics) is converted into muscimol?

There is not much information available about the toxicity of both quisqualic acid and quisqualamine to humans, seemingly because the risk of accidental ingestion is very low as these compounds don't appear to occur in anything that human beings would consider to eat... --79.240.198.159 (talk) 21:39, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
