Epibatidin: The frog toxin with which Nawalny was likely killed

An alkaloid from the skin glands of South American frogs was detected in tissue samples of the late Russian opposition figure. Even tiny amounts can be deadly.

On the second anniversary of his murder by Putin, reupping this tribute to Navalny:

Goodbye to my fearless friend, Alexei Navalny wapo.st/4alxEL3

Opinion | Goodbye to my fearless friend, Alexei Navalny

Alexei Navalny dreamed of a free Russia. Barbaric dictators such as Putin can kill men, but they cannot kill ideas.

Navalny murdered with a potent nerve toxin from a rare poison-dart frog: how could that toxin have been used in Russia?

The Russian opposition leader, who died exactly two years ago in a Russian penal camp, was poisoned with venom from a rare poison-dart frog.

How the toxin from the poison-dart frog that killed Navalny acts: it attacks the nervous system and is lethal at an infinitesimally small dose

Epibatidine, secreted by the Ecuadorian poison-dart frog, can be synthesized in high-tech laboratories and is up to 200 times more potent than morphine.

The Guardian

Was Navalny poisoning by frog toxin meant to send a message?

Yvette Cooper may think so, and use of epibatidine may seem exotic, but experts say situation is more ambiguous It was a very particular choice of weapon, but experts say it remains unclear whether the dart frog toxin used to kill the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was intended to convey a message. Known as epibatidine , the poison is produced by wild dart frogs native to parts of South America - meaning Navalny could not have accidentally taken the poison. Continue reading. . .

Alexei Navalny loved Russia and opposed Putin. Patriotism and dissent are not contradictions. Loving your country doesn’t mean staying silent about its leaders. No one should be murdered for speaking out.
