Description

Gymnodimine CAS NO 173792-58-0 is a marine-derived cyclic imine toxin belonging to the spirolide class of phycotoxins. This compound is of significant interest for its potent biological activity, primarily as a fast-acting neurotoxin targeting nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It is a critical reference material for researchers and quality control laboratories in the fields of marine biotoxin monitoring, food safety, and neuroscience. Key industrial and research applications include its use as an analytical standard for shellfish toxin testing and as a pharmacological tool for receptor studies.

Application

• Primary analytical reference standard for the detection and quantification of gymnodimine in shellfish and seawater samples.
• Critical component in the development and validation of LC-MS/MS methods for marine biotoxin monitoring programs to ensure food safety.
• Pharmacological research tool for studying neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and their modulation.
• Used in the production of certified reference materials (CRMs) for quality assurance in regulatory testing laboratories.
• Essential for toxicological studies to understand the mechanism of action and health impacts of cyclic imine toxins.
• Applied in the calibration of laboratory equipment for high-precision marine toxin analysis.
