Decarbamoylsaxitoxin  (Synonyms: DcSTX; DecarbamoylSTX)

Cat. No.: HY-135000
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Decarbamoylsaxitoxin is a sodium channel inhibitor that blocks the influx of sodium ions through the membranes of excitable nerves and skeletal muscle cells, thereby preventing the formation of action potentials. Decarbamoylsaxitoxin is an acidic hydrolysis product of saxitoxin, and its toxic effects on mice are identical to those of saxitoxin. Decarbamoylsaxitoxin inhibits veratridine- and ouabain-induced swelling and lysis of mouse neuroblastoma cells by blocking Na+ channels. Decarbamoylsaxitoxin can be used in studies related to paralytic shellfish poisoning.

Description

Decarbamoylsaxitoxin is a sodium channel inhibitor that blocks the influx of sodium ions through the membranes of excitable nerves and skeletal muscle cells, thereby preventing the formation of action potentials. Decarbamoylsaxitoxin is an acidic hydrolysis product of saxitoxin, and its toxic effects on mice are identical to those of saxitoxin. Decarbamoylsaxitoxin inhibits veratridine- and ouabain-induced swelling and lysis of mouse neuroblastoma cells by blocking Na+ channels. Decarbamoylsaxitoxin can be used in studies related to paralytic shellfish poisoning[1][2].

In Vitro

Decarbamoylsaxitoxin (200-1000 pg/well, 3 nM to 300 μM; 8-24 hr) inhibits ouabain/veratridine-induced cell lysis in mouse neuroblastoma cells (ATCC no. CCL 131) with a mean relative toxicity of 42.6% compared to US FDA saxitoxin standard[2].
Decarbamoylsaxitoxin (110 μg/mL; 5 min boiled in 0.1 N or 1.0 N HCl) remains stable (toxicity unchanged) after boiling for 5 min in either 0.1 N or 1.0 N HCl, as measured in mouse neuroblastoma cells[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[2]

Cell Line: mouse neuroblastoma cells (ATCC no. CCL 131)
Concentration: 200-1000 pg/well; 3 nM to 300 μM (tested immediately after opening sealed ampoules)
Incubation Time: 8-24 hr
Result: Exhibited a dose-response profile in the neuroblastoma cell bioassay, with mean relative toxicity of 42.6% compared to US FDA saxitoxin standard (set at 100%).
Showed overlapping dose-response profile shape with GTX II/III-1.
Increased absorbance values of adherent stained cells with higher decarbamoylsaxitoxin concentrations.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
