Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureOral (2) ; inhalation (2) ; dermal (2) ; eye contact (2)
Mechanism of ToxicityAzaspiracid-4 dose-dependent inhibits the increase in cytosolic Ca2+ levels induced by thapsigargin (Tg) (3). Azaspiracid-2 and Azaspiracid-3 clearly increase cytosolic cAMP levels of human lymphocytes (4).
MetabolismNot Available
Toxicity ValuesLD50: 500-600 mg/kg (Oral, Mouse) (11)
Lethal Dose150 ug/kg for mice. (11)
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
Uses/SourcesExperimentally in cancer research. The toxin is also found in shellfish (2).
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
Health EffectsPossibly gastroenteritis (1).
SymptomsAbdominal heaviness, vomiting, and profuse watery diarrhea; also nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps (2, 6).
TreatmentEstablish a patent airway. Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary. For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Cover skin burns with dry sterile dressings after decontamination. (12)

Targets

General Function:
Voltage-gated potassium channel activity involved in ventricular cardiac muscle cell action potential repolarization
Specific Function:
Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated inwardly rectifying potassium channel. Channel properties are modulated by cAMP and subunit assembly. Mediates the rapidly activating component of the delayed rectifying potassium current in heart (IKr). Isoforms USO have no channel activity by themself, but modulates channel characteristics by forming heterotetramers with other isoforms which are retained intracellularly and undergo ubiquitin-dependent degradation.
