Description

Homoanatoxin CAS NO 142926-86-1 is a potent neurotoxic alkaloid and a potent agonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. This compound is of significant interest in neuroscience research and toxicology studies due to its specific mechanism of action. It serves as a critical reference standard and research tool for scientists investigating neuromuscular function, neurotoxicity, and the development of detection methods for cyanobacterial toxins.

Application

• Neuroscience Research: Used as a pharmacological tool to study nicotinic acetylcholine receptor function and signaling pathways.
• Toxicology Studies: Employed as a reference toxin in assays to understand the effects of cyanobacterial blooms and water contamination.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity calibrant in analytical methods like LC-MS/MS for the detection and quantification of anatoxin analogs in environmental samples.
• Drug Discovery: Acts as a molecular probe in the research and development of novel therapeutic agents targeting the cholinergic system.
• Environmental Monitoring: Used in the development and validation of bioassays and chemical tests to monitor for harmful algal blooms (HABs).
• Biochemical Research: Applied in studies of ion channel physiology and the structure-activity relationships of neurotoxins.

Quality Control

Our Homoanatoxin is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for research applications. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity confirmation, and impurity profiles, typically determined by advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. We ensure compliance with relevant standards for high-purity research chemicals.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. For short-term storage, keep at 2-8°C. The compound is light-sensitive and should be handled under appropriate conditions to prevent degradation. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
