Usage

Chemical Description

Microcystin-LR is a hepatotoxin produced by cyanobacteria, while the photoreaction products are the nontoxic compounds formed when Microcystin-LR is exposed to UV.

Uses

Used in Research Applications:
Microcystin-LR is used as a research tool for studying the function and regulation of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and PP1 enzymes. Its high potency and selectivity make it a valuable compound for investigating the role of these enzymes in various cellular processes and diseases.
Used in Environmental Monitoring:
Microcystin-LR can be used as an indicator of cyanobacterial blooms and water quality in freshwater ecosystems. Detecting the presence of this toxin can help assess the risk of poisoning for humans and livestock, as well as inform water treatment and management strategies to protect public health and the environment.
Used in Pharmaceutical Development:
Due to its potent inhibitory effects on protein phosphatases, Microcystin-LR may have potential applications in the development of drugs targeting specific enzymes or pathways involved in diseases. However, its hepatotoxic nature must be carefully considered and mitigated in any therapeutic applications.

Safety Profile

A poison by ingestion, inhalation,intraperitoneal, and intravenous route. Experimentalreproductive effects. When heated to decomposition itemits toxic vapors of NOx.

A photodetoxification mechanism of the cyanobacterial hepatotoxin microcystin-LR by ultraviolet irradiation

When microcystin-LR was exposed to UV, three major nontoxic compounds were formed. These compounds were identified as [4(E),6(Z)-Adda5]- and [4(Z),6(E)-Adda5]microcystin-LR, which are geometrical isomers of the Adda [3-amino-9-methoxy-2,6,8-trimethyl-10-phenyl-4(E),6(E)-decadienoic acid] moiety of microcystin-LR, and a novel compound, tricyclo-Adda [(2S,3S,1'R,3'S,4'S,5'R,6'R,7'R)-3-amino-5-(4',6-dimethy-3'- methoxytricyclo[5.4.0.0(1',5)]undeca-8',10'-dien-6'-yl)-2-methyl-4(E)- pentenoic acid]-containing microcystin-LR ([tricyclo-Adda5]-microcystin- LR), which was formed by [2 + 2] addition between the benzene ring and the double bond at position 6-7 of the Adda moiety of the microcystin. The geometrical isomers were formed reversibly, and their equilibrium constants were almost the same. [Tricyclo-Adda5]-microcystin-LR was also formed reversibly and was decomposed under UV light. These results suggest that the breakdown of microcystin-LR by UV irradiation proceeds via [tricyclo-Adda5]- microcystin-LR.
