Saxitoxin, dihydrochloride

Description:
Saxitoxin, dihydrochloride (CAS 35554-08-6) is a potent neurotoxin produced by certain species of dinoflagellates, particularly those in the genus Gonyaulax. It is classified as a sodium channel blocker, which means it inhibits the influx of sodium ions into nerve cells, leading to paralysis and potentially fatal respiratory failure. Saxitoxin is highly soluble in water and exhibits a high degree of toxicity, with its effects being rapid and severe, making it a significant concern in marine environments, particularly in relation to harmful algal blooms. The dihydrochloride form indicates the presence of two hydrochloride ions, which can enhance its solubility and stability in aqueous solutions. Saxitoxin is used in research to study ion channel function and neurobiology, but due to its extreme toxicity, it is handled with caution in laboratory settings. Its presence in shellfish can lead to paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) in humans, highlighting the importance of monitoring and regulating marine food sources.
