'''APTX {{nihongo|4869|四八六九|Yon-Hachi-Roku-Kyū}}''', nicknamed "Prototype Detective" by members of the Black Organization, is a fictional toxin and derivative of an experimental formula of unknown purpose developed by [[Shiho Miyano]], which is used by the [[Black Organization]] as an untraceable, lethal poison. Right now, there is a [[prototype antidote]] for it made by Shiho.

APTX is an abbreviation of "Apoptoxin," and, as the name implies, it involves the activation of [[wikipedia:apoptosis|apoptosis]]: the mechanism by which cells kill themselves. APTX contains ingredients which have other functions as well.

In practice, most of the time APTX 4869 works as a lethal poison. [[Gin]] says it can't be detected when used, possibly indicating it leaves few traces that forensic examination could uncover. However, as said by [[Ai Haibara]], a rare side effect can in fact de-age victims. When talking about her own and Conan's shrinking, she said that the side effect causes everything apart from the nervous system to revert back to a childlike state,<ref>“[Shrinking] is an unexpected side effect. The nervous system is unaffected, but everything else—bones, muscle tissue, internal organs, hair – reverts to a childlike state” (VIZ english version of the quote in volume 18 file 8.)</ref><ref>[[Episode 129]]</ref> but the adult personality and memories remain intact.<!--However, in very rare cases, it causes the apoptosis of non-neural cells only and the apoptosis stabilizes at some point, causing the victim's apparent age to be decreased while leaving higher thought processes, memory, and personality unaltered-->

[[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]], the series' protagonist, was forced by Gin and Vodka to take the poison with the intention of killing him silently due to the police being around in [[Episode 1]]. Later [[Shiho Miyano]], was set to be executed for being a possible loose end after Gin and Vodka killed her sister Akemi. Instead of letting herself be murdered, Shiho took her own poison intending to commit suicide; however, her body was reverted back to a childhood state like Shinichi's.

[[Atsushi Miyano]] and [[Elena Miyano]] joined the Black Organization as researchers thirty years before the present timeline and started developing APTX 4869.

Shiho advanced the drug to the point where she observed at least one of her lab mice reverting in age. Sometime along the way, the Black Organization decided to use the incomplete form as a poison for stealthy murder. The drug was still considered incomplete by the time it was used on [[Shinichi Kudo]], but [[Pisco]] implied that Shiho had advanced it significantly since her parents' tenure. It is unknown if the Black Organization has found replacement researchers to continue work on the APTX 4869 project after Shiho's defection.

At first, it was revealed by Gin that the APTX 4869 was a poison to kill people who know too much about the Black Organization. He used Shinichi as a guinea pig. Shiho Miyano said that she didn't intend to create a poison,<ref name="179p9">Manga [[Volume 18]], File 9 (179), page 9: "The Girl Made Of Lies"</ref> which suggests that APTX 4869 was originally developed with a different goal in mind.

One possibility is that the goal of the APTX 4869 is to develop a therapy which will cause immortality, stall or reverse the effects of aging, or extend a human's lifespan. The de-aging effect that occurred when Shinichi and Haibara took APTX 4869 probably indicates the main intent of the drug's development.

 +
 +
According to Haibara’s description about APTX 4869<ref name="241p"/>, APTX 4869 activates [[wikipedia:telomerase|telomerase]], an enzyme which can increase the number of times a cell can divide, and therefore affect a cell's lifespan and “reproductive potential”. The goal of this might be to revert all non-neural cells to a "youthful", high reproductive potential state. [[Vermouth]]'s unnatural youth is another indicator that the Black Organization may be involved in research towards extending lifespan, halting aging, or rejuvenating the body.

"Silver Bullet" is the name given to a mysterious drug created by Elena Miyano and Atsushi Miyano for the Black Organization.

Background

In a tape left for Shiho, Elena reveals she had been working on "a truly terrifying drug" the Miyano parents called the Silver Bullet. It was something incredible enough that Elena said they were "putting their hopes on it",[1] and Elena's lab mates had taken to calling it "a dream drug". It was important enough that Elena and Atsushi had to leave behind Shiho and Akemi in order to complete the drug.[1]

After thinking about this message left by Elena, Ai Haibara expresses her resentment that she had only later realized that the drug was something that should have never been made.[1]

Speculation

"Silver Bullet" and "APTX 4869" are two names for the same project

See also: APTX 4869

It is unclear whether Silver Bullet is the Miyano parents' personal nickname for what is currently called APTX 4869, or if it was a closely related project they developed in parallel. Whatever the case, Silver Bullet and APTX 4869 are probably closely linked if not the same in-development drug. Haibara took over her parents' research after they died, with the APTX project named specifically. After watching Haibara shrink, Pisco, who knew about the project the Miyanos worked on, commented that Shiho's parents would be proud of the progress Shiho had made on the drug.[2] In addition, Haibara had earlier referred to APTX 4869 as a dream-like drug as well.[3] During her recollection of the tapes, Haibara was holding and considering the antidote to APTX 4869. She then regrets that she didn't understand the drug was something that should have never been made, strongly implying she worked on the same drug as well.[1] Lastly, Vermouth, who was in the Black Organization long enough to have heard the Miyanos use the name "Silver Bullet",[4] may have given Conan the same nickname in reference to his deaged state caused by the drug.

APTX 4869

APTX 4869 (四八六九 Yon-Hachi-Roku-Kyū?), nicknamed "Prototype Detective" by members of the Black Organization, is a fictional toxin and derivative of an experimental formula of unknown purpose developed by Shiho Miyano, which is used by the Black Organization as an untraceable, lethal poison. Right now, there is a prototype antidote for it made by Shiho.

Description

Haibara recalls a list of all of the victims APTX was used to kill. Only Shinichi's death was unconfirmed.

APTX is an abbreviation of "Apoptoxin," and, as the name implies, it involves the activation of apoptosis: the mechanism by which cells kill themselves. APTX contains ingredients which have other functions as well. It contains a component which activates telomerase: an enzyme which lengthens the caps at the end of DNA whose length limits the number of times a cell can divide.[1]

In practice, most of the time APTX 4869 works as a lethal poison. Gin says it can't be detected when used, possibly indicating it leaves few traces that forensic examination could uncover. However, as said by Ai Haibara, a rare side effect can in fact de-age victims. When talking about her own and Conan's shrinking, she said that the side effect causes everything apart from the nervous system to revert back to a childlike state,[2][3] but the adult personality and memories remain intact.

Shinichi, the series' protagonist, was forced by Gin and Vodka to take the poison with the intention of killing him silently due to the police being around in Episode 1. Later Shiho Miyano, was set to be executed for being a possible loose end after Gin and Vodka killed her sister Akemi. Instead of letting herself be murdered, Shiho took her own poison intending to commit suicide; however, her body was reverted back to a childhood state like Shinichi's.

History

Atsushi Miyano and Elena Miyano joined the Black Organization as researchers thirty years before the present timeline and started developing APTX 4869. Vermouth may have hinted that there was an earlier project that the Miyanos assumed control over when they joined,[4] perhaps the one Shiho implied was at least 50 years old.[5] Regardless, the pair worked on APTX 4869 until they met their untimely deaths, leaving their daughter Shiho Miyano behind and the project in an unfinished state. Shiho was then groomed to take over their APTX 4869 research project. She was educated overseas in America before returning to Japan at or before she was 13. Shiho advanced the drug to the point where she observed at least one of her lab mice reverting in age. Sometime along the way, the Black Organization decided to use the incomplete form as a poison for stealthy murder. The drug was still considered incomplete by the time it was used on Shinichi Kudo, but Pisco implied that Shiho had advanced it significantly since her parents' tenure. It is unknown if the Black Organization has found replacement researchers to continue work on the APTX 4869 project after Shiho's defection.

Name origin

APTX 4869 is a pun on "Sherlock Holmes". 4869 can also be pronounced "Shi-Ya-Ro-Ku" (シャロク Sharoku)[6], which translates into Sherlock. Adding to the pun, the password for the APTX data is "Shellingford"[7], an unintentional misspelling of "Sherrinford", which was the name Arthur Conan Doyle called his detective character before deciding on "Sherlock".[8] The password and the pun name seem to be related to why several members of the Black Organization call APTX 4869 the "incomplete detective",[9][10] implying APTX 4869 is not finished yet.

Antidote

Main article: Prototype antidote
Gin poisons Shinichi.

Throughout the series there are several instances in which the APTX was temporarily neutralized and Shinichi and Shiho were returned to their actual age forms. The main ingredient for this reversal is a component found in baijiu, which Haibara has already incorporated in a prototype antidote for the APTX.[11]

It is notable that in the instances where Shinichi or Shiho were successfully changed back, the recipient was suffering from a common cold while the component was ingested, indicating that the immune system somehow has to be taxed for the antidote to work.[11][12][13] The only apparent canon exception was Shinichi's reversion in the London arc. While not canon, Crossroad in the Ancient Capital uses this idea as Conan is given a pill to give him the symptoms of a cold, while drinking baijiu.

Conan and Haibara briefly reverted to their true age while having rum cake (thought to contain among other things baijiu) in the live action drama Shinichi Kudo Returns! Confrontation with the Black Organization.

Speculation

Original intent

At first, it was revealed by Gin that the APTX 4869 was a poison to kill people who know too much about the Black Organization. He used Shinichi as a guinea pig. Shiho Miyano said that she didn't intend to create a poison,[14] which suggests that APTX 4869 was originally developed with a different goal in mind. It probably was just a useful side effect that the current prototype kills while leaving no trace in the victim’s body, and was thus employed as a poison - a usage which Haibara detests.[14] Additionally, APTX 4869 is nicknamed the "incomplete detective" by the Black Organization,[9][10] which means its true purpose has not yet been achieved.

Immortality/anti-aging

One possibility is that the goal of the APTX 4869 is to develop a therapy which will cause immortality, stall or reverse the effects of aging, or extend a human's lifespan. The de-aging effect that occurred when Shinichi and Haibara took APTX 4869 probably indicates the main intent of the drug's development. After Pisco saw Haibara shrink back to her child form, he commented that he was impressed she had developed the drug to that point, implying that deaging is in the right direction.[15] Supporting this is Haibara’s line, "Kudo-kun? You would probably never even dream that you are already part of a project the Black Organization has been working on already for half a century."[16] APTX 4869 is the only known intersection between Shinichi and the Black Organization; meaning that Shinichi's de-aging made him relevant to the Black Organization's project.

According to Haibara’s description about APTX 4869[12], APTX 4869 activates telomerase, an enzyme which can increase the number of times a cell can divide, and therefore affect a cell's lifespan and “reproductive potential”. The goal of this might be to revert all non-neural cells to a "youthful", high reproductive potential state. Vermouth's unnatural youth is another indicator that the Black Organization may be involved in research towards extending lifespan, halting aging, or rejuvenating the body.

The goal of the antagonists in Magic Kaito is pursuing immortality, via the Pandora Gem, but it is unclear whether if the organization in Magic Kaito is the same one as the Black Organization.

Raising the dead

The original purpose of APTX 4869 might be to raise the dead. Once when Conan asked Haibara directly what APTX 4869 was meant to do she replied, "It's a nostrum to raise the dead. I wonder if that answer is satisfactory?"[17] The context of the comment, however, makes it unclear if she was merely bluffing to provoke Conan into revealing that he had been looking into the Black Organization behind her back, rather than making a serious statement of the purpose of the drug.

"Silver Bullet" and "APTX 4869" are two names for the same project

See also: Silver Bullet (drug)

In a flashback, Shiho recalls the end of the recorded message left by her mother which revealed Elena had been working on "a truly terrifying drug" the Miyano parents called the Silver Bullet.[18] It is unclear whether Silver Bullet is the Miyano parents' personal nickname for what is currently called APTX 4869, or if it was a closely related project they developed in parallel. Whatever the case, Silver Bullet and APTX 4869 are probably closely linked if not the same in-development drug. Haibara took over her parents' research after they died, with the APTX project named specifically. After watching Haibara shrink, Pisco, who knew about the project the Miyanos worked on, commented that Shiho's parents would be proud of the progress Shiho had made on the drug.[15] In addition, Haibara had earlier referred to APTX 4869 as a dream-like drug,[17] the same expression Elena's labmates used to describe Silver Bullet.[18] During her recollection of the tapes, Haibara was holding and considering the antidote to APTX 4869. She then regrets that she didn't understand the drug was something that should have never been made, strongly implying she worked on the same drug as well.[18] Lastly, Vermouth, who was in the Organization long enough to have heard the Miyanos use the name "Silver Bullet",[19] may have given Conan the same nickname in reference to his deaged state caused by the drug. On the other hand, Shuichi Akai also has the nickname Silver Bullet, but no apparent connection to the drug other than dating Akemi Miyano, the sister/daughter of the drug's creators.
