Description

Decarbamoyloxysaxitoxin is a potent neurotoxin analog derived from saxitoxin, a compound of significant scientific interest. This high-purity reference standard is critical for advanced research in neurobiology, toxicology, and analytical method development. It serves as an essential tool for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, environmental monitoring, and food safety sectors requiring precise calibration and validation.

Application

• Neuroscience Research: Used as a highly specific sodium channel blocker to study ion channel function, neuronal signaling, and the pathophysiology of neurotoxic events.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Serves as a critical calibrant and control in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and HPLC methods for the detection and quantification of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins.
• Toxicology Studies: Employed in the investigation of toxin mechanisms of action, dose-response relationships, and the development of potential therapeutic countermeasures.
• Environmental and Food Safety Testing: Essential for the accurate monitoring and regulatory compliance testing of shellfish and marine products for saxitoxin-group contaminants.
• Biomedical Research: Utilized in the development of diagnostic assays, biosensors, and immunological tests for marine biotoxins.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Acts as a key intermediate or reference molecule in research exploring novel pharmaceutical agents targeting ion channels.
