Picrotoxinin (BioDeep_00000000752)

描述信息

Picrotoxinin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as furopyrans. These are organic polycyclic compounds containing a furan ring fused to a pyran ring. Furan is a five-membered aromatic ring with four carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Pyran a six-membered heterocyclic, non-aromatic ring, made up of five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom and containing two double bonds. Picrotoxinin is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa).

Picrotoxinin is a picrotoxane sesquiterpenoid that is 3a,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-indene-3,7-dicarboxylic acid which is substituted at positions 3a, 6, and 7a by methyl, isopropenyl, and hydroxy groups, respectively; in which the double bond at position 2-3 has been epoxidised; and in which the carboxy groups at positions 3 and 7 have undergone gamma-lactone formation by O-alkylation to positions 4 and 5, respectively. A component of picrotoxin. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a GABA antagonist and a serotonergic antagonist. It is an organic heteropentacyclic compound, an epoxide, a tertiary alcohol, a gamma-lactone and a picrotoxane sesquiterpenoid.
Picrotoxinin is a natural product found in Picrodendron baccatum and Anamirta cocculus with data available.
Picrotoxinin, a potent convulsant, is a chloride channel blocker. Picrotoxinin is a noncompetitive GABAA receptor antagonist, which negatively modulates the action of GABA on GABAA receptors. Picrotoxinin inhibits α1β2γ2L GABAA receptor with an IC50 of 1.15 μM[1].
