Retro-1
Retro-1 is a toxin inhibitor. Retro-1 blocks the retrograde transport of STxB to the trans-Golgi network/Golgi. Retro-1 inhibits the cytotoxic effects of Ricin, bacterial toxins Stx1 and Stx2. Retro-1 can also substantially enhance the effectiveness of antisense and splice switching oligonucleotides.
