TOXIN T-17, also known as Brevetoxin, is a lipid-soluble polyether marine toxin produced by the red tide dinoflagellate, Ptychodiscus brevis, found along the Gulf Coast of Florida. It acts as a voltage-dependent Na+ channel activator, causing contractile paralysis in animal models by binding to a unique site on these channels. The excitatory action of brevetoxins on nerve and muscle membranes is responsible for a wide spectrum of toxic effects, including massive transmitter release from nerve endings, muscle fasciculations, and ventricular fibrillation. The toxin does not bind to either tetrodotoxin or aconitine/veratridine sites.

85079-48-7 Usage

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
TOXIN T-17 is used as a research tool for understanding the mechanisms of voltage-dependent Na+ channels and their role in nerve and muscle function. Its unique binding properties make it valuable in studying the effects of channel activators and blockers on these channels.
Used in Environmental Monitoring:
TOXIN T-17 is used as an indicator of the presence of harmful algal blooms, particularly red tide events caused by Ptychodiscus brevis. Monitoring the levels of this toxin can help assess the risk of toxic effects on marine life and humans exposed to contaminated water sources.
Used in Toxicology Research:
TOXIN T-17 is used as a model compound to study the toxic effects of marine toxins on various organisms, including humans. This research can contribute to the development of treatments and countermeasures for exposure to harmful algal blooms and their associated toxins.

A poison by ingestion, intraperitoneal, and intravenous routes. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating vapors.

Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 85079-48-7 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 8,5,0,7 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 85079-48:
(7*8)+(6*5)+(5*0)+(4*7)+(3*9)+(2*4)+(1*8)=157
157 % 10 = 7
So 85079-48-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
