Biological Activity for Tetrodotoxin

Tetrodotoxin is a reversible, potent, selective and high affinity inhibitor of voltage gated sodium channels Nav 1.6, 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.2 and 1.7 (IC50 values are 2.3 nM, 4.1 nM, 5.3 nM, 7.6 nM, 14 nM and 36 nM, respectively). Binding is reversible and high affinity (Kd = 1-10 nM). Tetrodotoxin shows antagonism of aconitine-induced cardiac toxicity, analgesic effects in mouse models of neuropathy and prolonged duration of local anesthesia in animals when combined with capsaicin. Tetrodotoxin also shows pH-dependent blockade of canine cardiac L-type Ca2+ (Cav1.x) channels, blocks primary reward in an animal study of drug-seeking lever pressing.

Tetrodotoxin citrate (Cat. No. 1069) also available.

TTX blocks action potential propagation.
By Anonymous on 08/31/2019
Assay Type: Ex Vivo
Species: Rat
Cell Line/Tissue: Hippocampus

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) was used to block action potential propagation in response to lasting current injection into living neuron. This illustrated a critical role of voltage-gated sodium channels in inter-neuronal crosstalk. 1 microM of TTX developed 100% effect (see Figure). Figure: action potential generation by isolated neuron under control and after TTX was added to perfusion solution.

Compound should be sonicated when dissolved.

good drug for neuronal activity inhibition.
By Lihua Wang on 01/24/2018
Assay Type: In Vitro
Species: Mouse

We use this to block cell activity of the brain slices, in order to keep the cells more healthy after they are dissociated. It works great and helps a lot for our purpose; but the only little problem is that it's very hard to dissolve in the water.
