Description

Zooxanthellatoxin A is a complex polyether marine natural product originally isolated from dinoflagellates of the genus *Symbiodinium*. This compound is of significant interest in biochemical research due to its potent and specific biological activity. It serves as a critical reference standard and investigative tool for researchers in marine pharmacology, toxicology, and cellular signaling studies. The product is supplied as a high-purity material suitable for advanced laboratory applications.

Application

• Marine Toxin Research: Used as a certified reference material for the identification and quantification of zooxanthellatoxins in environmental and biological samples.
• Pharmacological Studies: Employed in vitro and in vivo to investigate its effects on ion channels, cellular membranes, and specific receptor interactions.
• Mode of Action Analysis: A key tool for studying the mechanisms of coral bleaching and the complex symbiosis between corals and dinoflagellates.
• Biochemical Pathway Elucidation: Used to probe and map novel metabolic and signaling pathways affected by polyether toxins.
• Analytical Method Development: Serves as a primary standard for calibrating analytical equipment such as LC-MS and HPLC in toxin detection methods.
• Toxicology Screening: Applied in assays to assess the cytotoxic or neurotoxic potential of marine-derived compounds.
