Description

Lyngbyatoxin A is a potent bioactive secondary metabolite originally isolated from marine cyanobacteria of the genus *Lyngbya*. This compound is of significant interest in biochemical and pharmacological research due to its role as a potent protein kinase C activator. It serves as a critical reference standard and tool compound for researchers in toxicology, marine natural product chemistry, and drug discovery, enabling the study of cellular signaling pathways and the development of detection methods for algal toxins.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a high-potency activator of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in cell signaling and mechanistic studies.
• Toxicology Reference Standard: Essential for the identification, quantification, and toxicological assessment of cyanobacterial toxins in environmental and food safety monitoring.
• Marine Natural Product Studies: Serves as a key compound in the research of bioactive metabolites from marine cyanobacteria for ecological and pharmaceutical applications.
• Pharmacological Tool: Employed in vitro and in vivo to investigate PKC-mediated biological effects, including tumor promotion and inflammatory responses.
• Diagnostic Development: Utilized as a calibrant or standard in the development of analytical methods such as HPLC-MS/MS, ELISA, or LC-MS for toxin detection.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Supplied to universities and research institutes for studies in chemical ecology, molecular pharmacology, and environmental health sciences.

Quality Control

Our Lyngbyatoxin A is produced and handled under strict quality protocols suitable for research applications. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS) and purity assessment by HPLC. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, documenting batch-specific data. We ensure compliance with relevant standards for research chemicals, and custom purity grades are available to meet specific project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dedicated freezer. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers should be allowed to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress. For long-term stability, store under an inert atmosphere.
