| The toxin is a derivative of an experimental ] formula, adapted by ] to function as an untraceable, lethal poison. | |||
| APTX is an ] of "Apoptoxin," and, as the name implies, it involves the activation of uncontrolled ] which causes death by the destruction of cells. In addition, it can also activate ]. | |||
| The poison is designed to be untraceable in its victims. However, in very rare cases, it causes the apoptosis of non-neural cells only and the apoptosis would stabilise at some point, causing the victim's apparent age to be decreased. ], the series' protagonist, is such a victim; later ], who chooses to attempt suicide by using her own drug, was added to the very short list of people not killed by APTX-4869. | |||
| Throughout the series there are several instances in which the APTX was temporarily neutralized and Shinichi and Ai/Shiho were returned to their actual age forms. The main ingredient for this reversal is a component found in Chinese ] ], which Ai has already incorporated in a prototype - and as yet non-permanent - antidote for the APTX. It is to note that in the instances where Shinichi changed back, he was suffering from a common cold while he ingested the component, indicating that the immune system somehow has to be taxed for the antidote to work. | |||
