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.
Description
Microcystins are hepatotoxic cyclic heptapeptide toxins produced by cyanobacteria. They are responsible for periodic poisonings of humans and livestock drinking fresh water where the blue-green algae are endemic. Microcystin-LR is a selective inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) (IC50= 0.04 nM) and will completely inhibit this enzyme without affecting PP1 when used at a concentration of 0.5 nM. The PP1 IC50 is about 1.7 nM. Microcystins are at least 10 times more potent as serine/threonine PP inhibitors than okadaic acid, another microalgal toxin also used for this purpose.
Safety Profile
A poison by ingestion, inhalation,intraperitoneal, and intravenous route. Experimentalreproductive effects. When heated to decomposition itemits toxic vapors of NOx.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 101043-37-2 includes 9 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 6 digits, 1,0,1,0,4 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 101043-37:
(8*1)+(7*0)+(6*1)+(5*0)+(4*4)+(3*3)+(2*3)+(1*7)=52
52 % 10 = 2
So 101043-37-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

A photodetoxification mechanism of the cyanobacterial hepatotoxin microcystin-LR by ultraviolet irradiation
Kaya, Kunimitsu,Sano, Tomoharu
, p. 159 - 163 (2007/10/03)
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.
