anhydrotetrodotoxin

Description

4,9-Anhydrotetrodotoxin (4,9-anhydro-TTX) is a derivative of TTX that selectively blocks inward sodium current through Na_v1.6 voltage-activated sodium channels (IC₅₀ = 7.8 nM in Xenopus oocytes). It demonstrates IC₅₀ values of 1.3, 0.34, 0.99, 78.5, 1.3, and >30 μM for Na_v1.2, Na_v1.3, Na_v1.4, Na_v1.5, Na_v1.7, and Na_v1.8, respectively.
