General description
Reversibly blocks Na+ channels, which are essential for the propagation of impulses in excitable membranes. Useful as a marker of Na+ channels in excitable tissues. Inhibits the release of glutamate via Na+-dependent glutamate transporter and prevents veratradine-induced intracellular Ca2+ accumulation (IC50 = 63 nM).

Studies examining the role of tetrodotoxin-sensitive ion channels in hypoxic-ischemic neuronal damage have concluded that sodium influx is an important initiating event. We examined the neuroprotectant effect of tetrodotoxin on both cultured cerebellar neurons and on CA1 hippocampal neurons of

Analysis of puffer fish tissue extracts by a fluorometric tetrodotoxin analyzer revealed the presence of three tetrodotoxin derivatives besides tetrodotoxin. The derivatives were isolated and identified as tetrodonic acid, 4-epitetrodotoxin and anhydrotetrodotoxin on the basis of mass spectral and 1H
